The TV show, “The Biggest Loser,” is a great way to makes lots of money! They are able to sell workout dvds, workout equipment, clothing, foods, journals, books, you name it, they will produce it, throw the name on it, and sell it like crazy!
America is all about the fast results and instant gratification, we are in the technology, fast-food driven world now! However, that is not how everything works, but this show puts that idea into people’s heads that they can loose 15 pounds in one week and that is okay.
The people on this show start off with a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits, then shoot up to extremely drastic changes in their workout and nutrition regime. This sends a total shock to their system! I would not be ok if I had clients throwing up, passing out, or getting taken away in ambulances because of the routine I was putting them through.
