A famine is not equivalent to a well-balanced diet. How physically fit do you think the people in, say, Darfur are?Quote:

Really? :( I guess I will continue to DVR.

All of the google results that I got were all about people wanting the show to be one hour long... but there wasn't anything about the show actually being only one hour long.Quote:

I don't mind Jillian. Yes, she's OTT but she also shows a caring side and she generally gets results. The girl who quit seemed to cave really, really early in the process. Her mind wasn't there, she didn't seem ready to make the change and move away from her comfort zone. I honestly don't think any pseudo-counselling from Bob or Dolvett's million dollar smile would have changed that.
ITA about the girl who quit...Nicki? However, it's too bad that someone else who was ready could've had that spot.
Too bad they don't have understudies! Looking forward to the next epi and seeing how the children are doing.

Absolutely!

They did not, but they had some items marked as "Right Portion" so I checked to see what that meant. Imagine my shock when the fine print said 750 calories or less.
No wonder we're getting fatter when a restaurant's small entrees are heading toward a thousand calories!
Was watching the rerun tonight...since I missed a lot of it... Re the blue team in the room...one woman said she wakes up all ready to exercise, but by the time they are let out of the room she is sleepy and slow...but they showed them being let out in the dark and having to work out in the evening... Maybe that was a 2nd workout of the day?
I agree, the point of fat is famine... However, very few Americans deal with famine any more, so...
Also agree that sleep helps. Have a cousin in law, very overweight, who had sleep apnea, got one of those breathing machines, and lost 30 lbs. without even trying, and had so much more energy. Of course he's still very overweight, but it definitely helped him to get a good night's sleep for a change. While everyone's sleep "set point" is different I think many of us don't sleep what we would if we didn't have TV to keep us up at night and work/kids to wake up up in the morning. Since I've retired I've discovered that my "norm" is 9 hours...way more than I ever got except on weekends when I was working. So either I'm working off a huge sleep debt or I've been shortchanging myself for years... and using food to keep going during the day.
