In theory it is so easy, in practice, a lot of people obviously find it hard - because there are a lot of people who are overweight who wish they werent. Any sensible person knows if you burn off more calories than you consume you will lose weight, but knowing and mere will is not always enough, food can be pyschologically addictive as anything else can be.
I would agree that this show could very well be exploitative though.
Im 5 9 (or 5 10 iuf I realkly stand up tall) and about 280 lbs. I really want to lose weight, I understand that the equation involved is a relatively simple one... but its hard, and its so easy to get demoralised and feel like shit and just give up everytime you try. If this show can help these people not give up, and maybe inspire a few others, on the whole its a good thing. if it just makes overweight people appear clownlinke and foolish, I would say it is a bad thing.
