I know there are very mixed opinions about whether The Biggest Loser is realistic or helpful for its viewing audience, and I don't really have a side on that. But this article from the NYT talks about contestants' experiences in a way that fits in nicely with the goals of this blog. For the contestants - just like for us, it's about relearning how to eat. And, just like for me, it's about learning how to cook.

Isn't that the truth? Seriously, the biggest leg up that I have on folks trying to live healthier is that I LOOOOVE to cook. Cooking calms me down. Cooking is my form of control in a world full of chaos. Cooking is the nice warm security blanket in a big bad world. I am getting slightly icked out by the Biggest Loser right now because the weight loss has become such a public thing. Joelle doesn't lose any weight and she's let down her team. Please! It's her body and her success.
