The Biggest Loser: BodyBugg and Weight Loss Secrets Revealed!

Ready for a serious dose of inspiration, on September 11th, 2007 I plopped down in front of my TV to watch the Biggest Loser Season 4 premiere. The Biggest Loser is such a relatable show because almost every person has at some point struggled with losing weight and eating right. Watching the Fall TV premiere, I was shocked when 62 year old Jerry lost 30 pounds in the first week! Now, how is it physically possible for a person to drop this much weight in just one week when most of us struggle to lose 1 pound a week? Starting to believe that the Biggest Loser was a complete hoax, I embarked on a journey to uncover the weight loss secrets of the Biggest Loser reality show!

New Fitness Technology
One of the new tools being used this season by all the contestants is Apex Fitness Group's BodyBugg - "the world's most intelligent calorie management System." You'll notice that every Biggest Loser contestant this season is wearing an armband 24/7. Kim later explained in the second episode that this gadget is "weight management on your arm." The BodyBugg is the latest advancement in calorie expenditure prediction. Using sensors to measure skin temperature, skin resistively and ambient temperature, the BodyBugg is 92% accurate. The Biggest Loser trainers are able to track each participant's daily calorie expenditure, similar to a GPS device, as the device communicates with software on a PC. The trainers can then pinpoint the exact time of day when a contestant is lying down or resting and burning little calories and suggest ways to modify activity and diet to keep those calories burning! By simplifying the tedious chore of calorie counting and calculations, the BodyBugg allows you to reach your weight loss goals but at a price of $500 plus ongoing subscription to the Bodybugg web service. Access to the latest advancements in nutrition and exercise technology and gadgets, such as the BodyBugg, is one of the Biggest Loser's weight loss secrets!
