No one should be shocked that a gimmicky reality TV show that had 600lb contestants with lifelong eating disorders shed weight incredibly rapidly while living in a house for a month with fellow contestants didn't provide long term solutions to their underlying mental health and food addiction issues.

The biggest loser was the equivalent of turning drug rehab into a gameshow and putting it on TV.

It's maybe interesting in the context of addictions and disordered eating habits, but not really relevant for general weight loss, weight management or physical health for most people.
