About this listen
Fast weight loss makes great TV—and terrible biology. In this episode, Chris breaks down why The Biggest Loser worked for ratings but failed most people long‑term: extreme cardio stacked on crash dieting, no time to build habits or maintain, and a setup that burns muscle—the very tissue that keeps your metabolism humming. We also cover what the show actually got right (coaching, community, motivation) and how to apply those pieces without the rebound. Finally, a quick primer on Ozempic/Wegovy: how GLP‑1s work, why weight often returns when you stop, and how to use any tool alongside the fundamentals—protein, strength training, and patient habit change. If you want results that last, slow really is smooth—and smooth is fast.
