The Biggest Loser Club is a diet
program, delivered only through the online website,
inspired by the TV reality show 'The Biggest Loser'. 'The
Biggest Loser' will begin its eighth season in the fall
of 2009 and has grown to become one of the most popular
programs on TV, spreading to more than fifty countries.
Each season, contestants compete to be the 'biggest
loser' (that is, lose the most weight) in pursuit of a
cash prize. Jillian Michaels, the original fitness
trainer on the Biggest Loser in the US, originally
developed the program, which now runs online parallel to
the TV series.
The Biggest Loser Club is not altogether dissimilar from
other diet plans we have reviewed. It involves a
combination of controlled diet, based on healthy eating
principles and moderation of less healthy ingredients,
and a physical fitness program. Whilst the Biggest Loser
Club doesn't encourage weight loss using cash incentives
(like its TV counterpart), it does emulate the supportive
community environment that helps contestants on the TV
show, and this is perhaps the site's biggest strength.
While commentators have indicated that dieters are
unlikely to see the same results as are experienced by
contestants on the show (because of the different
environment), the intensive plan is likely to provide
clear results for dieters strictly following the
plan.
The Biggest Loser Club diet plan is based, essentially,
on a reduced calorie diet, similar to that favored by a
number of other diet plans. The premise of the diet is
simple ' good, healthy food (with fats and sugars only in
moderation) and a lot of exercise to counterbalance
calorie intake. This formulaic plan (calories in <
calories out) ensures that dieters lose weight. Each day,
the Biggest Loser Club website generates a daily eating
plan for users, ensuring that they consume the correct
number of calories each day. Users can tailor their plan
to take into account specific dietary needs (such as
vegetarianism, for example) and use the 'favorites
manager' to ensure that favorite meals from the meal
plans are included more regularly. Similarly, if users
dislike a particular food or meal choice, this can be
updated on the favorites manager to ensure that it
doesn't feature in their individual eating plan. While
this all seems fairly customizable, the eating plan with
The Biggest Loser Club is not particularly flexible, and
we're not sure how long users could keep up such a diet
plan. Users aren't learning general principles that can
be applied to all foods, so that when they leave the diet
program (and they aren't following a specific meal plan
each day) they might find it difficult to maintain their
weight.
Fitness is a key part of The Biggest Loser Club's weight
loss program. The site generates a daily fitness plan for
each user, which can be customized to focus particularly
on cardio-vascular health, strength training or a
combination of both. Users can, as with the diet options,
set preferences to ensure that the fitness plans
generated by the site are appropriate for weight, height
and fitness level. Users are also supported by a range of
community features, including message boards and chat
rooms, which should improve motivation and speed
up weight loss.
While we were impressed with some of the features of The
Biggest Loser Club, we couldn't help but think that it
lacked some of the polish of other sites in this
category. The diet plans, whilst customizable, feel a little gimmicky, and this might make it
difficult for users to follow them in the long term. With
such a dramatic change in lifestyle (changing your diet
altogether and following a strict diet and meal plan),
we're not sure how easy users will find sticking to the
plan will be, especially when they reach their target
weight.
