What Parents Need to Know
About Celebrity Fit Club
Parents need to know that this reality show deals almost exclusively with weight loss and the effects of being overweight. Through the magic of television, contestants seem to magically "melt," dropping upwards of 30 pounds in just eight episodes -- even though the actual weight-loss period spans 100 days. But while the series makes a concerted effort to emphasize healthy weight loss over fast results -- setting sensible weight-loss goals customized to each contestant -- the message could easily be misinterpreted by impressionable teens who might try to slim down on their own at a faster rate without a doctor's supervision. What's more, the show could also make overweight kids and teens feel worse about their bodies.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the realities of a world in which thin bodies are prized, fat ones are scorned, and deliciously unhealthy food is more widely available than ever before. Why is thin so in -- and how do the sculpted celebrity images we see in the media affect our perceptions of our own bodies? Why are chubby children teased -- and why do heavy people so often become the butt of jokes in television and movies? Why do Americans as a whole tend to eat to excess -- are we really that hungry, or are we eating for other reasons? Are all diets truly healthy? And is there such a thing as being too thin?

not really that good
I used to watch the show but now it seems kinda dumb. Nowaday it seems if you throw in so called celebrities to a show than people love it. Honestly I like biggest loser a lot better because a lot of people on this show are immature slobs.
