Reality TV has taken on a new angle and it is the diet angle. With shows out there like Celebrity Fit Club and the Biggest Loser, America has become obsessed with watching people lose weight. These shows have capitalized on their popularity and have released their diet secrets for a fee to the public through an online diet program.

The Celebrity Fit Club diet, which has helped celebrities such as Tiffany and Carnie Wilson lose weight over a 14 weeks period. The Celebrity Fit Club diet is really the Fat Smash Diet written by Dr. Ian K. Smith. This is not meant to be considered a “diet” but a change of lifestyle. There are four phases with this diet and the first one is very restrictive because it is considered a detox phase where you can east all the fruits and vegetables you want and then oatmeal, beans and tea. That is it. This detox phase is only for nine days and then the rest of the food is incorporated back in slowly. In Phase two you can add back in lean meats, seafood, cheese, and even cereal though not the sugary kind. In the last stage alcohol and white starches along with sweets are added back in though in very small quantities.

With the Biggest Loser Diet, you have a specific calorie range to stick to. So you do have to count calories but because this program is done online, most of the work is done for you. You will be provided with meal plans, recipes and even a weekly shopping list. This is a diet you can customize to your preferences, for example if you want a low sodium, or vegetarian. The diet itself must consist of healthy fruits and vegetables. You should avoid high fat and high-calorie foods on the Biggest Loser Diet. This is another diet that is a firm believer in portion control and in being able to identify good fats from bad fats.
Both of these however are big advocates of exercise. On both programs you will find that you will be exercising most days. On the Celebrity Fit Club you will be exercising for at least 30 minutes or more five times a week. On Biggest Loser you will be doing between 30-60 minutes of exercise. The maintenance phases for these diet plans work a little different also. It is safe to assume you are going to be following the Celebrity Fit Club diet and exercise routine for the rest of your life. While on the biggest loser you will no longer have to follow a specific plan, but you will have to continue to eat the way you have been and not go back to your old habits.
Both shows attracted a large audience though the Biggest Loser attracts a bigger audience and might have more followers due to the popularity and the dramatic results the players at the ranch see.
