The Biggest Loser 2 Review is Here! 
By now you've heard that the "Biggest Loser" is Ryan with the second place winner Dave. Although both winners were from the Red team, everyone ended up losing a lot of weight and being a winner. Bob Harper's Blue team did remarkable job and they all attribute Bob's teaching, training and motivation as a big factor. Overall, both teams lost over 750 lbs.
The diet plan Bob outlined for the Blue team is called the "Eat More Diet". "I believe you must eat to lose weight," says Bob. The logic behind this plan is that if you eat smaller portions and more meals throughout the day, your body will not go into starvation mode and rather than hold on to fat, it will burn it more efficiently in response to exercise. This will work to effectively boost metabolism!

More Diet |  |
| Deal with hunger before it happens4-6 planned meals per dayHigh volume, low calorie, low carb |
The idea is to consume 4-6 planned meals per day that are low fat and low carb (which means also low overall in calories). By eating more often, the body has energy at all times to more effectively use as fuel for working out.
The goal of the "Eat More Diet" is to "deal with your hunger before it happens," says Bob who adds, "Once you start to feel hungry, it's already too late."
Bob's inspiration for the diet plan shows in his messages:
- I believe that everyone has the power to change the way they look and feel.
- I believe that it is all about getting the right carbs and right fats, relying on them for a healthier you and
you will also lose weight.
- I believe that you must eat to lose weight.
- I believe that calories do matter.
- I believe in portion control.
- I believe that you must exercise to lose weight.
Quick Guide to Starting a New Diet such as this one:
The first thing you should do is start a food journal and write down everything you eat and at what time you eat so that you can be accountable for what you're eating and you'll know what you need to change. You should be completely honest because cheating only cheats yourself! You can figure out your "trigger point" time, the time when your cravings attack. Along with a food journal, keep an exercise journal, logging your workouts daily.
When using cardio equipment, pay attention to the heart rate moniter. You should monitor your heart rate to make sure you are working out efficiently and in the zone. Keep track of your weight loss with body fat reduction, inches lost as well as scale readings. Getting lean is more than just the pounds lost on the scale.
The eating plan that follows is a sample to give you some ideas on how to prepare meals for your diet. Cardio should consist of 20-45 minutes. Also you need to do resistance training. After just 2 to 3 weeks, you should already see and feel a big difference! "It is strict and might feel limiting at times but breaking old habits can be challenging and difficult but once you get into the stride of your new eating habits your cravings for the sugar and "wrong foods" will disappear," says Bob.
Congratulations on putting yourself and your health as your number one priority!
