Tasty Tuesdays: Week 2 of SRTWC

Do any of you watch The Biggest Loser?

I never did, but I'm glad that people are working towards a healthier lifestyle. I've heard some nasty stuff about it though. Here's an insightful article from the New York Times.

When more than 40 former contestants from “The Biggest Loser” gather Wednesday for a reunion television special, the winner of the program’s first season, Ryan C. Benson, who lost 122 of his 330-pound starting weight, will be absent. Mr. Benson is now back above 300 pounds but he thinks he has been shunned by the show because he publicly admitted that he dropped some of the weight by fasting and dehydrating himself to the point that he was urinating blood.

Whoa there. I guarantee CrossFit won't make you pee blood. We want you to learn proper mechanics of movement, become consistent in them, then ramp up to a relative intensity. We teach you nutritional habits in quality and quantity. You'll never be forced into losing weight with us or any other CF affiliate.

Read the rest of the article for some dangerous situations contestants have been in, medical professionals disagreeing with the show's tactics, and other "dark side" things the show doesn't put on air. Eh.

Are you taking your fish oil supplements at every meal? If you've been in class then you've heard me ramble all about how it's the miracle drug that everyone wants and no one is taking. GET ON IT. And eat more fish. Please. If you take fish oil you'll never appear on The Biggest Loser.
