Today I discovered a Medical Journal that completed a study following 14 contestants 6 years after the show. The study found that their metabolism rates slowed after weeks of gruesome weight loss. The effects? The majority of contestants who are participating in this study have gained back some or all of their starting weight. Originally, I was investigating the use of weight loss drugs on the weight loss show 'The Biggest Loser' but as I dive deeper into my topic I'm finding the facts behind the extreme weight loss shows. Some contestants claim they were given drugs but others defend the show. The bottom line is, the competition has left many contestants helpless when they leave, unable to eat the same amount of calories as a normal person. I will continue to dive into the lives of the 14 contestants and their struggles to maintain a healthy body weight.
