Shay Sorrells: Biggest Loser Update
Originally weighing 497 pounds, Shay Sorrells was the largest contestant on The Biggest Loser. She dropped 150 pounds while at the ranch and now back home she weighs 300 pounds and she still is on the fast track to losing weight. Her goal is to get under 200 pounds. This week she opened up to OK! magazine about how her troubled past contributed to her unhealthy weight and how life has changed since being on the ranch.
She explained that as a kid she and her mother were homeless; her mom’s addiction was heroin, and Shay’s addiction was food. Before she entered the show her doctor even suggested gastric bypass surgery because of her morbid obesity. But now she’s on the path to good health. When asked about her home workouts she responded,
“I’m working out with a trainer and doing a lot of exercising by the pool and on the beach – even basketball drills. My husband loves to play basketball and now I have skills so I play him one-on-one!”
She also mentioned that she hikes and rides bikes with her husband. Shay admits that she still slips up from time to time but she learned on the ranch that when you make a calorie mistake you have to correct it with exercise. So if you splurge and eat an extra 500 calories one day, you need to burn an extra 500 calories in your workout. Good luck, Shay.
Celebrity Diet Doctor…
The advice that Shay received from the Biggest Loser about correcting overeating with extra exercise is misguided and I don’t recommend this strategy. The key is not to increase your exercise, it is to cut down the amount of processed foods you eat. Remember you lose weight with eating the proper foods, you keep it off with exercise.
