Weight loss, disease prevention or reversal.
The Claim of Biggest Loser:
Six weeks of healthy food and regular exercise not only is a great start to a weight-loss journey — it can also help prevent or reverse diabetes; cut the risk for cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer’s; improve your heart health; and boost your immune system.
The Theory of Biggest Loser:
We eat too many of the wrong foods and not enough of the right ones, and we sit around too much. The not-so-surprising solution: eat regular meals that emphasize filling calories from fruits, vegetables, lean protein sources, and whole grains; practice portion control; use a food journal; and get up off the sofa.
