From Desperate to Damaged: The True Cost Of The Biggest Loser

Netflix’s Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser pulls back the curtain on one of the most popular - and most harmful - reality shows of its era. Behind the dramatic weigh-ins and transformations were contestants pushed to exhaustion, starved on 800-calorie diets, and left with long-term physical and psychological health damage. In this review, I revisit my 2009 critique with new revelations, exposing how a billion-dollar franchise thrived while participants paid the price.

Terrible Tabloids And Their Weight Loss Lies

For as long as I can remember, I’ve noticed those tabloid rags at the supermarket checkout line. It’s hard not to. I’m a captive audience - just standing there while the person in front of me fumbles with coupons - and right at eye level are the wildest headlines. But I don’t just notice them because I’m bored.

How To Lose A Pound of Fat Per Day (Rapid Fat Loss Revisited)

Lose a pound a day? That's easy. I once cut 8 pounds in a day to make a weight class. I have wrestler friends who have cut more than that. Based on my experience alone, I have no doubt you can lose 7 pounds in 7 days or 10 pounds in 10 days like all those crazy ads claim. It doesn't even have to take that long. BUT... Weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing. Can you really lose a pound of FAT per day?

You Can Eat Processed Food And Still Lose Fat. But Should You?

Is it true that you can lose body fat if you're in a calorie deficit, regardless of what foods you eat? Contrary to what many people think, it is true! If so, then why avoid tasty processed food? You only live once (YOLO), so why not eat anything you want, just being sure to stay in a deficit, and enjoy life? The answer is, calories are the bottom line when it comes to weight loss but there's more to a good nutrition plan than just calories

Low Carb Intelligence vs Low Carb Stupidity, Revisited

High fat, low carb keto diets are still trending. They're not just trending, low carb diets are here to stay. But despite all the new science available today that gives us a better understanding of how low carb, high protein or low carb, high fat diets really work, a lot of people are still thinking about it wrong and doing it wrong. Marketeers are taking it to the bank… consumers, on the other hand, are being taken. And that’s why I’m revisiting and re-sharing this classic article, 20 years after its original publication

So much so, that my finger hovered above the "publish" button for quite a while. I guess I finally clicked and am sharing because I believe this is such an important message

If You Can Only Lift 4 Days A Week, What Are The Best Workout Schedules?

Tom Venuto2024-09-27T13:46:01-04:00bodybuilding, Weight Training|

Many experienced lifters and physique athletes who want to build muscle train 5 days a week, and a handful even train 6 days a week. But for many people, these higher frequency training schedules are not realistic. As a result, they want workouts that are still effective but only require 4 days a week, or in some cases minimalist programs that take even less time. If you want to spend only 4 days a week in the gym, you may be wondering what are the best 4 day training schedules. In this extensive special report, you'll see many options, some which you may have never thought of before.
