True Extreme Makeover, Part 1
June 14, 2016
The Biggest Loser show enjoyed astounding popularity a decade ago. But recently, a well-publicized study revealed that almost all the contestants regained their lost weight and more. Many are plagued with a “stuck” metabolism that resists weight loss no matter how stringently they diet or how hard they exercise. The scientific conclusion is that dramatic weight-loss is nearly impossible to maintain due to alterations in leptin metabolism. Self-transformation expert Kat James weighs in with an alternative interpretation: She believes that the Biggest Loser paradigm was doomed to failure from the start because it invoked the wrong diet (ultra-low calorie and low-fat) and extremes of exercise, which are ineffective and unsustainable. Kat herself is a shining example of self-transformation because she successfully employed a leptin-sensitization program to overcome extreme binging and fatty liver, in the process dropping ten dress sizes over several years. Kat plumbs the science of leptin and describes how carb restriction and consumption of healthy dietary fat allow a reset of metabolism and appetite. Some of the benefits come from helpful alterations to the microbiome, the gut bacteria that mediate hormonal balance. Kat suspects that the Biggest Loser study was to some extent “planted” by BigPharma and the gastric bypass industries to make dieting seem futile and to prompt overweight persons to shift to reliance on medical or surgical “fixes” for obesity. With her “Total Transformation” program, significant and permanent weight loss is attainable, with freedom from cravings and deprivation, even without incessant exercise. Click HERE for part 2.
