biggest loser club


It used to be that being called a loser was derogatory and hurtful. NBC has changed that, making it almost a badge of honor to be called a loser. And the Biggest Loser, that’s the ticket. NBC’s weight loss challenge show, The Biggest Loser, has turned Tuesday nights into must-see TV. Having just completed its fourth season, and the launch of the Biggest Loser Club, everyone wants in on the weight loss action.

Each week, more than 15 million viewers tune to NBC to watch the three Biggest Loser teams battle it out on the scale. Each team is lead by a coach who teaches them about fitness, nutrition and diet helping them shed unbelievable amounts of weight. While they each walk away with the prize of thinner, healthier bodies and new lifestyle, the one crowned Biggest Loser wins a quarter-million dollar prize. The Biggest Loser is the one who loses the greatest percentage of body fat.

Like many great TV programs, this one had a spin off. The Biggest Loser Club was NBC’s answer to the overwhelming demand for participation on the show and access to the coaches’ expertise. For just $20/month, far more affordable than a trainer or gym membership, you can get your pass to the Club. Your access to this fitness program will give you:

- Opportunity to talk with the show’s nutrition gurus and contestants

- Talk to other “losers” on the message and discussion boards

- Receive personalized fitness instruction, which will allow you to exercise at home

- Track progress with a personal online journal

- Have meal plans created just for you, with accompanying shopping lists and recipes
Thousands of pounds have been lost by the Biggest Loser contestants, and now its your turn to step up and make that change for the better. New Years is just around the corner, and there’s never a better time to wipe the slate clean and decide that this is the year for serious changes.

While this season just ended and it will be a few months before the next installment starts again, you can start being a loser today. Signing up is simple, and if you still have reservation, get the free diet profile. This will help you identify what the Biggest Loser Club is going to do for you.
Biggest Loser is a low-fat and low-carb diet, but don’t think you’re going to starve off all that weight. You’ll learn how to strike a balance with portion control, three meals a day, some light healthy snacking and exercise. You’ll enjoy plenty of delicious meals like blueberry pancakes, New Orleans chicken and stuffed mushrooms.
So what’s holding you back? Decide today that you want to be a loser and join the club that sees being a loser as the first step to a healthier life. Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper and Kim Lyons work intensely with the show’s contestants- and now you can access their expertise and make incredible changes in your own life.

Buzz around the new season of Biggest Loser continues to grow. Not only does the series celebrate its fifth season when it premieres January 1, it introduces its first couples season. Ten teams of two, made up of spouses, friends, parents and children and even perfect strangers battle it out with the scale in front of millions of people.

Diets In Review caught up with the white team, Neill and Amanda Harmer from Oklahoma City, just days before the premiere, to find out how living healthy, raising a son and even having sex have been affected by their Biggest Loser experience.
Neill and Amanda share an intoxicating sense of humor about their weight and the whirlwind experience of applying and being on the show. And while the season is just about to begin and resolution yet to be had, they stand by their determination to be the Biggest Loser at the end. Neill says no matter what happens, “you can call me a loser all day long” because it means he’s finally learned to lose weight and live healthy the right way.

Obesity is certainly a rapidly growing health crisis in the United States, and many corporations, media forums, and organizations are dedicated to fighting this nation-wide epidemic. Television shows such as “The Biggest Loser,” “Shaq’s Big Challenge,” and “Fat March” have even turned weight loss into a public competition. Not only is the obese population of America on a mission to shed those pounds, but it seems as though most people, whether they are 5 pounds or 50 pounds overweight, are eager to slim down, tone up, and achieve the body of their dreams. Americans spend over 4 billion dollars a year on diet pills, appetite suppressants, and fat diet plans. Over time, this diet craze has created a new increasingly popular subculture in America: diet culture.

WHY IS DIETING SO POPULAR?
The market is flooded with images of perfectly sculpted bodies, airbrushed figures, and flawless features. From magazine ads to cosmetics packaging, Americans are constantly told by the media that perfection is obtainable. In addition, increasing health threats aided by obesity puts more pressure on Americans to lose weight and avoid these health threats. A combination of these pressures forces people to spend hundreds of dollars on quick-fix diets to lose weight and improve their health as quickly as possible with minimal effort.

DIET PILLS

It seems as though there are hundreds, if not thousands, of diet pills on the market. Every diet pill claims to be the best and claims that you can effortlessly shed the pounds once and for all. Every diet pill works differently, but there are four main types of diet pills on the market: those that suppress appetite with an amphetamine-like effect, a second type of appetite suppressant which triggers your brain to desire to eat less, a third which prevents the absorption of fats into your body, and fourth are detox pills which aid in digestion and food processing. Many diet pills can be extremely unsafe and hazardous to your health, and always require research before purchasing. So how do you know which diet pill to choose? Always look at a full list of ingredients and research any unfamiliar products in the pill. Also, don’t be fooled by ‘all natural’ diet pills – just because the pill is made from all natural products does not necessarily mean it’s completely safe. Always consult a physician before purchasing a new diet pill, and always ask for him or her for recommendations. If the product sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

FAD DIETS

Much like diet pills, fad diets are everywhere. From Atkins to the Grapefruit Diet, fad diets have covered an entire spectrum of weight management. Everyone wants a diet that is easy and doesn’t interfere with their daily lives, but also they want one that works. Too often do people start a fad diet and end up gaining back the weight that they lost, if not more, after stopping the diet plan. So how do you choose the right diet for you? Sometimes, simply watching your calorie intake and increasing your activity can prove effective. If that doesn’t work, look for diets that allow you to eat foods that are nutrient-rich and lean. Diets that make you starve yourself are never a good idea, and most of those diets are the ones that will cause you to gain excess weight back after you stop the diet. To get the most effective diet plan, consult a physician or nutritionist and ask for advice on how to improve your diet.
