SBD vs. Biggest Loser: FYI

A couple of us had wondered if the Biggest Loser followed the South Beach Diet on the show...well here are the guidelines. While they are similar, TBL is more restrictive in serving sizes than SB and dairy is counted as a protein- which counts towards a mere 3 cups a day! Check it out:

I think the only reason they go to Subway is because Subway is paying BIG bucks to be a sponsor....that said, they should still be pushing the salads- but I'm sure there is probably more money for Subway in the sandwiches.

I'm not sure what they eat when they go to Subway but I know our subway will turn any sandwich into a salad for $1.20.

The way the BL Diet reads, it seems that 24 oz of protien is the minimum per day.

That's something I've noticed this season that is REALLY annoying me--they're doing these blatantly obvious sponsor spots when they're talking about what to eat. Talk about product placement!

They got rid of the WW wrap?! You can tell how often I go to Subway...even though it's one of only 2 fast food choices in my tiny little town with no stoplight!

My favorite product spot is when Bob talks about Wrigley's gum.

Check out my diet blog:
