There’s an impressive statistic Michelle Bridges uses in her campaign to make us healthier. She says those people who have followed her advice have lost more than one and a half million kilograms of fat. That’s equivalent to the total weight of 20,000 Australian adults. There is no question that this is a substantial achievement, but why then is the personal trainer made famous by TV’s The Biggest Loser so controversial? Maybe because no one likes being told the truth about obesity and the fact that it is killing us. Or maybe it’s because of resentment that Michelle Bridges has so successfully parlayed bad news into enormous profits.
