I’m watching this show — I think it’s the third episode I’ve seen, and they are down to six and cutting them lose — no longer on teams.
Some of what they are doing makes sense — they showed a temptation dinner — which was typically of a family, church or work “spread”. Will it seems cruel, the participants saw it as something helpful. They used the experience to find the right food, and stay away from the wrong food.
I still think there are a lot of wrong things about the whole premise. Weight loss isn’t necessarily less calories eaten and more burn. A lot of other factors go into it, for example, read the article on sleep I posed about earlier. Insulin is also a factor for me.
