'Biggest Losers' win on India's reality TV hit - Independent
Extract:
"In a country where up to 300 million people live below the poverty line it may be surprising to discover that a reality television show encouraging contestants to lose weight is gripping Indian television audiences.
Biggest Loser Jeetega, literally Biggest Loser Wins, has become one of the most popular programs on Indian television, attracting more than 15 million viewers since it first started airing two weeks ago.
The show runs along similar lines to the various "reality"-billed weight-loss programs that more commonly fill the airwaves of industrialised nations.
Sixteen contestants embark on a strict regime to lose weight and the winner will be paid 100,000 rupees (£1,250), a veritable fortune to most Indians, for every kilogram they lose. Each week the contestant deemed to be showing the least commitment to battling the bulge is voted off by their fellow teammates."
I'll bet the contestants are not being told that the secret of losing a lot of excess weight fast is to give up dieting completely and simply stop eating salt/sodium and salty food and make sure of eating plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables!
Note: dieting is harmful, unnecessary and ineffective.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
