Biggest Loser Debacle

I don’t watch the show, but did read in a magazine that they made the morbidly obese recent contestants run a mile and two of them had to be hospitalized.

Now, we know that these two suffered complications, but we have NO idea what happened to the joints or the organs of the other contestants.

That is my whole message about exercise. Every time you think about doing some form of exercise or trying a fad diet, finish the sentence with “at what cost.”

Examples:

I want to run a marathon – at what cost?

I want to take spin class – at what cost?

I want to go on the Atkins diet – at what cost?

We never think that way, and we should, since the wrong exercise and ridiculous fad diets have long lasting, damaging consequences.

Think about it.
