IslandGuru Who payed the critics

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

shelley-48742 The old shows actually showed you there end stories. Now it's an hour of drama about there past. This show really disappoints me now.

dmk_12345 Its entertaining to watch, its fun to watch people regain control of their lives, and be happy in the end. Some scenes can be funny, some of the patients are awful and are not even willing to try. Some are rude, they dont seem to care, they just give up. this show also (at least for me) made me want to try to eat healthier. So its a good show, the cost though for everything must be astounding. Overall though, great show, and entertaining (at least in my opinion)

childers-3 I guess the show pays all the expenses for these patients. The cost must be astronomical. Not counting the surgery, there's transportation, whether it's gas for their personal cars, ambulances, etc., weeks or months in the hospital BEFORE surgery, to try to get them to the weight they need to even have the surgery. Plus, they don't seem to have income from working. They must be on some kind of assistance. I don't see how they can afford to do this. I guess if I paused through the credits, it would say something about that. Most of the patients are ready, willing and mostly able to go through this process. I'm cheering for them all the way. What makes me angry is when some of them are petulant, spoiled and uncooperative. They usually come around near the end of the episode, but boy, it's hard to have sympathy for some of these people. This show really makes you think about your food choices, both quality and quantity.

Bernard-Weasley In a nutshell, this TV series tells people that obesity is a hormonal / insulin problem, and if you correct the hormonal / insulin problem by getting a gastric bypass (equivalent of fasting - just without the surgery), then you can reverse your diabetes, and lose hundreds of pounds of weight within a year - or the equivalent of fasting for a year.I also understand that almost every 600 lbs person featured in this series had traumas/issues which goes way back to their childhood, and that made them crave food for relief to fill the void throughout their upbringing. Therefore they needed the gastric bypass surgery instead of simply performing fasting for their 6 months plus period.But back to the issue at hand, the thing that I didn't get is why, after the obvious fact that gastric bypass and/or fasting can cure and reverse diabetes type 2, then why did the American Diabetes Association still persistently state that diabetes type 2 is an irreversible/incurable disease, while in fact it's clearly documented over and over again in this series that gastric bypasses (or fasting) clearly cures and actually reverse diabetes permanently for the long run.Furthermore, the doctor in this series even recommended low carbs diet in order to lower and correct the patients' insulin problem for the long run. However this is the exact opposite of the recommendations by American Diabetes Association to consume more carbs - which worsen the insulin problem, and then recommends type 2 diabetes patients to buy more insulin injections/drugs/etc products, and getting the patients hooked for life by buying more insulin related drugs, knowing that the core of the problem is actually the excess of INSULIN in the first place.Now how on earth can you cure type 2 diabetes' insulin resistance by injecting / ingesting more insulin, while in fact it's clearly documented in this series over and over, that by actually reducing / correcting our body's insulin level with doing gastric bypass actually reverses the insulin dependence and cures diabetes type 2 for the long run. What is going on here? Is there a huge corruption link here between the ADA and the big pharmas? The government ought to investigate this scandal.
