NBC’s ‘The Biggest Loser’ is currently under fire following a recent confession by a former Loser saying that contestants were allegedly drugged to lose weight. The confession came about after a controversial report by US National Institutes of Health (NIH) claiming that most former Biggest Loser contestants returned most, if not all, of their original weight after the show.
A new study reveals that former ‘Biggest Losers’ contestants have regained much, if not all, of their original weight after the reality hit TV show. The extreme workout regimen in just a short period of time significantly reduced their metabolic rate and decreased their hunger-control hormone level which may both explain why they regain most of their weight back after the show.
