Biggest Loser and Paleo Diet

I just read an interview of Kai from Season 11 of the Biggest Loser. I had no idea the contestents were treated so poorly! I've watched the show for many seasons, and didn't think the weight loss techniques were sustainable, but holy cow! The intereting thing though, this article led me to read other articles about the Biggest Loser, and I found that that Courtney and Irene from Season 11 were eating a Paleo diet getting ready for the finale. I also learned that the Australian version of the Biggest Loser is using a Paleo diet instead of all the grains you see on the American version. I wonder if those contestants are treated just as poorly otherwise thought? I like the show, but don't want support something that is so horrible to the people, who just want to get their lives back.

It's interesting that the contestants usually say the show is a lot harder than it looks from watching it. Read Kai's interview and you'll see why!
