Very interesting! I read the excerpts of all 3 parts but didn't listen to the audio. I admit I watch shows like this sometimes, and it frustrates me to no end especially that the contestants do not get counseling in conjunction with the extreme diet and exercise. It's not that people don't know how to diet or what they should be eating or that they should be getting exercise (for the most part) - there are so many many emotional reasons and issues for why people overeat. No one is in the drive through eating 10 cheeseburgers or whatever because they "just don't have willpower." These people *know* they should have gotten 1 cheeseburger or a salad, and that they should really take a walk. There is so much more behind it - slapping a severely restricting diet and ridiculous exercise plan on people is just a band aid. The issues that made them feel so poorly about themselves/their lives etc are still there, and these issues will resurface if not attended to and healed, most likely when they return home to the same environment,
