Guest Ken Canion former Biggest Loser contestant on Made-for-TV Weight Loss

TV Weight Loss & are they entertaining, inspiring, infuriating

Reality shows about weight loss dominate television. Why have they become so popular? And are they entertaining, inspiring, infuriating —or all of the above? with former Biggest Loser contestant Ken Canion

While the shows’ focus on health and fitness is arguably inspirational, it’s difficult to say whether the vicarious thrill of watching actually inspires positive changes in viewers — most of whom are, let’s face it, couchbound through the entire viewing experience. And many leading fitness experts cringe at the shows’ prescribed weight-loss methods, most of which would not translate well to real life. Reality-based weight-loss TV shows have proven irresistible to the American public. One of the most popular, The Biggest Loser, regularly attracts more than 10 million viewers a week. Now in its 11th season on NBC, the mega hit has spawned a spate of wannabe programs that have helped turn weight loss into a spectator sport.
