Frank Greenway writes about the new science validated in
The Biggest Loser experiment
excerpt below:
This is where Biggest Loser Experiment was published:
Abstract of Biggest Loser Experiment below
Results:
Participant's:
1- Body Mass Index:48.7 ± 10.1 kg/m2
2- Weight 144.9 ± 39.4 kg, and
3---Body Fat 49 ± 6% (mean ± SD)
During the first phase of the competition when the contestants were isolated in a boot camp environment,
the average rate of weight loss was 0.4 ± 0.1 kg/d and
decreased to 0.19 ± 0.1 kg/d after returning home.
Total weight loss was 58.2 ± 26 kg with
81.6 ± 8.4% coming from body fat.
The computer simulations closely matched these data and calculated that average energy intake decreased by 65% during the first phase to 1300 kcal/d while participating in 3.1 h/d of vigorous exercise.
After returning home, energy intake increased to 1900 kcal/d and vigorous exercise decreased to 1.1 h/d.
Simulation of diet alone resulted in 34 kg of weight loss with 65% coming from body fat,
whereas exercise alone resulted in a loss of 27 kg with 102% from fat.
