The Biggest Loser: Your Metabolism and Your Faith
There's a lot of heavy, depressing news following the release of a study that looks at the regain of weight by most of the Biggest Loser contestants. As a dietitian who has worked in weight loss efforts -- patients in my office, bariatric center at Cedars-Sinai, and who was the on-air dietitian for 3 reality shows including Shedding for the Wedding from the BL production team, I must weigh in as the results -- while not surprising -- are mostly not being interpreted in a helpful or healthful way, and instead I'm hearing victim-speak such as "no wonder I can't lose weight, I've got Biggest Loser metabolism issues."

But he's a...

When I made a resolution to cook more vegetables, I p...
