Biggest Loser Contestant Speaks Out
This morning on The Early Show, Kai Hibbard was on. Kai was a contestant on season 3 of Biggest Loser and I am trying to remember her but I can't, so I guess I missed that season. They all start blending together after awhile. I actually thought I watched season 3. Oh well. Anyway, she says she lost 118 pounds on the show but only because of the dangerous things that were allowed to occur.
"I found myself loathing what I looked like the more weight that I dropped because of the pressure on me I found myself doing things like considering coffee a meal. And because of the pressures on the show it was considered acceptable to behave that way."
She said she left the show with an eating disorder, had her hair fall out and she learned how to dehydrate so the weight loss would be more dramatic. I know that some of those contestants starve themselves for a day or two before they weigh in. They have to. They want to win and the producers don't stop them. The producers want drama and they don't want people who only lost one pound each week.
