@ironrose13 I've been watching it. I don't think the show features diet enough. Sure, they make a big deal about how much they eat to gain weight, but barely talk about about diet in terms of losing weight. I feel like that's setting people at home up for some disappointment if they feel like they're going to outrun their forks, as it is.
I also think people aren't giving these trainers enough credit for how hard it is mentally to purposefully gain that amount of fat. Everyone seems focused on this idea that "they still don't understand being fat and out of shape." I've been fat (obese) and out of shape, and while that is mentally and physically hard, I'm 100% sure it would be mentally and physically harder (for me) to gain it back on purpose, regardless of final outcome.
It's an interesting show, for sure. However, I think telling a trainer "you don't understand what it's like" is just another excuse for not putting in the effort though. Everyone comes from somewhere different, no one can ever understand where someone else is coming from. In the end you have to just do what you have to do, whatever that might be.
(Spoilers ahead)
The latest episode featured a trainer (Adonis) who actually went from fat to fit to fat to fit, so he legitimately knew the process already. His client was a whiner, I had no respect for her.
