232: The Biggest Loser Exposed // What the Documentary Reveals About Diet Culture

If you’ve seen the new Netflix documentary Fit For TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, you know it pulled back the curtain on one of the most-watched weight loss shows of all time.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the most controversial parts of the documentary, including:

• Starvation-level diets that were sometimes under 1,000 calories a day

• Grueling 6+ hour daily workouts

• Alleged use of stimulants like caffeine pills to speed up weight loss

• “Temptation challenges” that glorified bingeing and food shame

• How all of this affected the participants - slowed metabolisms, weight regain, disordered eating, and emotional fallout

• AND why quick fixes and crash diets never work long-term, and what to do instead!
