Plus, the diet that is a must when a patient is on Coumadin makes it very difficult to lose weight because things like green leafy veggies and a bunch of other things that are good for you, have to be really closely monitored because they contain vitamin K which can affect the thinness/thickness of the blood.

On the show, James mentioned having a pulmonary embolism, which would have mean that he'd be placed on Coumadin for 6-9 months. While on Coumadin (blood thinner), because of the bleeding risk, patients are not supposed to do any kind of contact sports. This isn't necessarily the show's fault since James is a grown man and should be responsible for his own health and following medical advice. See 3 other replies

Oh please.
It's not like the show made him sick. He was 650 lb for goodness sake, and sick already. Arguing that a 650 lb man was "healthy" is idiotic.

James is complaining, hundreds of lost pounds later, about the methods the show used--dehydration, lack of carbs (many healthy people do the paleo lifestyle anyway) and low calories. So what? It got the weight off, didn't it? It's not like James had some alternative method up his sleeve whereby he could lose weight without the health risks. He needed and sought help. The help he received wasn't perfect, but they did an amazing job with the options they were given.

As for your dissaproval of the rapid pace, a huge part of weight loss is in one's head. Reaching the light at the end of the tunnel sooner rather than later is a llifesaver for people who would otherwise have gotten discouraged before reaching their goals.

And profiting off the show? This isn't a charity, of course they make sponsorship money. James had a chance at getting something priceless in return. Unfortunately for him, he had already ruined his body, and continued to suffer. But it's not like he's dead, and he still has a chance at a healthy tomorrow hundreds of pounds lighter. That is priceless. See 3 other replies

I just love Chris Powell! He's an amazing trainer! I would love to have him or someone like him to be able to help me! I'm at least 160lbs over weight, have an enlarged heart, tendonitis, bad knees and hip, bad right foot. My weight caused some of my injuries and my injuries have caused my weight gain! I am in constant pain every morning when I wake up. It takes me at least 30 minutes to be able to get moving and motivated. Chris Powell has given me hope that I can get this weight off and live a normal and happy life again. I'm a mom and a grandmom and I'd like to see my kids married and see my granddaughter grow up. I also want to be the wife my husband needs. I just want to learn how to shop for the right foods on a budget. I do have a gym membership but am too afraid to go because I'm so heavy. I need help! I know that I'm killing myself and don't know how to stop! I love the ideas this show has and it has helped me understand myself a little better but I could use a little more help. To whoever came up with the ideas for this show, I say thank you!! You are helping hundreds of people like me to better understand ourselves and to know that we are not alone!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!! I can not praise this show enough!!!
