475: The Biggest Loser Trainer Reveals What Really Happened Behind the Scenes (It's Not What You Think) with Kim Lyons

Did the reality TV show Biggest Loser permanently damage contestants' metabolisms, or is that just another excuse we tell ourselves? In this episode, we dive into the behind-the-scenes world of The Biggest Loser with former trainer Kim Lyons. Kim breaks her silence after years of staying quiet and shares her firsthand experiences from seasons three and four, and reveals what really happened behind the cameras, why the "damaged metabolism" theory makes her blood boil, and the shocking truth about why contestants really gained their weight back. Kim doesn't hold back as she exposes the difference between what made good TV versus what actually worked for weight loss, shares the real calorie numbers contestants were eating (spoiler: they weren't starving), and explains why she's tired of hearing medical experts who know nothing about the behind-the-scenes reality give opinions about the show. From the dangerous challenges that actually concerned her to the environmental factors that determined long-term success, this episode will change everything you think you know about extreme weight loss, metabolism, and what's really possible for transformation. Plus, Kim shares her controversial take on the current GLP-1 craze and why she believes the future of weight loss looks completely different than what we're seeing in Hollywood right now.
