This past week Kai Hibbard, a former contestant on the reality TV show “The Biggest Loser”, came out publicly and spoke about her time on the show. According to Hibbard, contestants routinely had over a week to lose their weekly goal weight. She goes on to say, that they were taught how to drastically dehydrate their bodies, forced to workout with injuries while in extreme pain, and that towards the end of the contest all she was eating was coffee.
