A Response To The New York Times Biggest Loser Study -- Leigh Peele

 

This week's release of the New York Times article on the study of former contestants on The Biggest Loser was met with a variety of responses by fitness professionals (see our Fat Loss category below). Leigh Peele's take on the study can help us and our clients, who may have misinterpreted the study to think their weight loss hopes are futile, to remember that RMR isn't the only factor in the fat loss equation and that there are still simple things we can do to make fat loss attainable and sustainable.
