I seem to have an insatiable appetite for all TV shows centered around diet and fitness so I Tivo'd this one last night and watched it this morning. Have any of you watched it? (Last night was the premiere of season 2 - I didn't catch but one episode of season 1.) There were a couple of things that really bothered me...
There was a middle aged lady who was obviously overweight and her body fat was around 40%. Yes, that's high but considering the type of clientele I work with, it's about average for a middle aged lady who is not exercising. I always aim to get them down between 25 and 30%. The MD on the show tells her she needs to be around 18%. 18%!?!?!?!?! I could hardly believe my ears.
And then, there's a girl on there who is a plus sized model and she's absolutely beautiful. She has a nice figure for someone who doesn't exercise. She admits she'd like to lose a little weight, but for the most part is happy with herself (which is so rare these days). The panel of "judges" (which included the previously mentioned MD, a counselor, and "drill sergeant" posing as a personal trainer) completely condemned her for her weight and told her how fat she was. I think for her, this challenge was about health and the all-too-helpful judges made it about weight loss.
Guys, I have to get out of the house. :) I don't go back to work until next week but wow that seems so far away....

Yep, there was but I only caught part of one episode and don't honestly remember who the participants were.
If you're interested, here's the url for the current season:

I was so irked by what I saw this morning that I took it off my Tivo schedule. I don't think I'll be watching it.
