Agree with above. Unfortunately, the equation of less in than burned off does not take into account genetic factors and the body's defense mechanisms against losing weight(slowing metabolism) which was great when our ancestors foraged for food, but counterproductive when we have all the food we need.
The exploitive nature of these shows unfortunately paints these people as the outliers rather than part of the normal population. Too many people who should sympathize with them and also try to lose weight are just laughing at them...
just my $.02...
