Quick recap: During the last chance workout near the end Bob’s team was finishing up with a 30 second sprint on the treadmills. Joelle kept stopping at the 20 second mark, this sent Bob into an all out rage. He was yelling at her, dropping f bombs and making everyone do the sprint again. Joelle stopped short again and Bob got even madder until Joelle eventually completed the 30 second sprint.

I can’t believe the buzz this little incident had caused. I have gotten 4 emails about it, I’ve seen stories on Yahoo and there are a lot of bloggers talking about it. Quiet frankly Bob is getting hated on. Some of the comments I see are calling him a “disgrace” and “unprofessional“. Here is my take on it.

Just Shut The F*** Up and Do It

This incident servers as a great example of why people fail at losing weight on their own. Joelle kept making the point that she was giving it all she had and that she couldn’t do the 30 second sprint. Bob knew better.

Earlier in the show Bob sat down with Joelle and had a nice motivational talk with her. He was calm and got his point across to her. Obviously that message didn’t sink in with Joelle and she was slacking again during the workouts while everyone else was giving 110%.

Joelle gave up on herself, believing that she couldn’t complete the task, hiding behind the fact that she is overweight and out of shape. Being the great trainer that he is, Bob recognized this and called her on it and summed up it all up in one sentence. The quote, “Just shut the F*** up and do it”.

All Trainers Should Be This Passionate

That rage comes from being passionate about what he is doing and knowing what it takes to get people to lose over 100 lbs. Those kind of results don’t come from stopping short and whining about how hard it is. They come from just putting in the work and doing what is required of you, even more so on a weight loss show!

I hope she sticks around, besides making for good TV people can identify with the excuses she makes because those are the same ones that are keeping a lot of other people fat as well.

Bob you’re doing a great job and changing lives, no matter how hard they fight it.

It’s no secret that I am a fan of the Biggest Loser TV show. I have heard a lot of people bashing it, saying that it doesn’t reflect real life. Citing that no one can workout 5 hours and day, have personal trainers at every workout and that the losses aren’t realistic.

Well that may be somewhat true, I think that the inspiration, motivation and awareness it raises about weight loss and adopting a healthy lifestyle far out weight any flaws it might have.

I purchased the Biggest Loser Cookbook a while ago and I’ve been very impressed with it ever since. (you can read my review of it here) Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of my favorite recipes from it.

Try this one out and let me know what you think.

Energizing Bacon and Egg Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients

3 large egg whites

1 strip Turkey Bacon, chopped

¼ cup of chopped onion

2 Tbsp of chopped tomato

1 (8 inch) whole wheat tortilla

¼ cup shredded light cheddar cheese

2 Tsp red taco sauce

In a small skillet over medium heat cook the Turkey bacon until almost crispy, then add the onion. Stir for 1-2 minutes then add the tomato. Stir for another 2 minutes. Once everything is cooked transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover to keep it warm.

Crack the 3 egg whites into a bowl and microwave them for 30 second intervals until they are fully cooked. Break the egg up into smaller pieces, mix them together with the other ingredients.

Place the tortilla in the skillet and heat for 1 minute per side. Once it has been warmed, transfer it on to a plate. Take the cheddar cheese and spread it evenly over the tortilla. Lay all of the cooked ingredients on top of the cheese and drizzle the hot sauce over everything.

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and enjoy.

Note: I hate eggs cooked in the microwave, to me they taste like rubber. So instead I add the eggs to the skillet once the other ingredients have been cooked, sort of like an omelet.
