I'll be on the Biggest Loser - Update! Commercial is out!

[Thor]

I'm totally forbidden to post images until after the finale in April, but you guys are special.

Also this doesn't give too much away, but you can see it most in the face the big changes. Just 9 weeks to go!

[Otto-matic]

Hey Thor. Curious if you have seen this story from the Biggest Loser US? A bunch of people freaking out because the winner has supposedly lost too much weight. I think everyone's reactions are a little ridiculous, but anyway.

Why are you happy when fat, and sad when thin?

I'm torn, because I'm being told by people who know a lot about the show from the inside that this is almost certainly a contestant like many in the past that have used illegal sports enhancing drugs to win. She does not look healthy in the finale I thought, rather almost fragile and that was not the girl everyone saw winning and kicking ass in the show before.

BL USA is really keen on fat shaming, focusing on the worst parts of the contestants until the finale. I am dying to know what they do behind the scenes to get these results, my bet is its not healthy whatever it is.

Such an excellent blog about weight lifting and how women have been told all the wrong things for so long, overall great advice for everyone including men.

http://sophieologie.me/2013/09/26/1200-calories/

If you’re trying to strength train… why don’t you use your strength? Why isn’t this fitness model, who obviously got her fitness model body by lifting heavy, showing heavy lifts?

There is no reason women should strength train differently from men. Man muscles are not alien tissue. Man muscles and woman muscles are the same. They are human muscles. They respond to the same fuel and the same stimulus.

This is why women’s workouts bother me.

Women should be shown the same fitness routines as men. We should be exposed to the same messages of eating nutritious food, with lots ‘o protein, and enough calories to build our bodies into Goddess-like proportions. We should not fear muscle. We should not shy away from the weight room because it is perceived as “odd” and out of place when a woman approaches the squat rack.

This is why I had to write a whole goddamn blog post complaining about the misinformation that is spread to women. I am so tired of watching my girlfriends get mislead by the media on how to be healthy. I am so annoyed by this skinny obsession – which literally robs women of their power.

Great work!!

Thor, I know you said that the Iceland version is more above board and realistic.

I'm curious what your thoughts on this Cracked article are.

Do you think the Iceland version will better prepare the contestants to help keep the weight off?

Pretty much agree with everything, we spent a max of 10 weeks at our camp depending on when you were voted out, and then returned to work, but we have trainers to help us at home and all the support we need to do this with work and real life.

The support system around us has been tremendous, so I have a lot of hope for all 12 of us keeping it off, and unlike the US version we are losing realistic amounts of weight per week, not crazy amounts like they do. The body does not react well to losing weight too quickly, so I think that is a BIG reason so many of those people fail, not to mention even when they go home they don't work, they just workout and don't deal with the underlying issues of people having to figure out a new way to live and continue on once the show is over.
