Nobody Ever Gained Weight On Survivor

"Nobody ever gained weight on the show Survivor," is a quote that I heard from Alwyn Cosgrove when I was able to spend a week with him earlier this year. For those of you who are not familiar with Alwyn he is known as one of the go to trainers for fat loss. So what is the point of his quote? If you are struggling with your weight stop eating so much. The people on Survivor do not have easy access to food like they normally do. They are forced to hunt and forage for their food and this causes two things to happen. Number one they can't eat that many calories because there is no fridge with food waiting and number two they are forced to eat a natural diet that is low in insulin because there are no refined or processed foods. Couple these factors with more physical activity and it is not to difficult to lose weight. Pretty simple. Many times people take in more than they really need without realizing it. In order to lose weight you must be in a caloric deficit(taking in less than you are burning) and this can be created through eating less and exercising more.
