Variety Show "Result is All" on Channel 8

Have you watched this variety/advert show before? The chinese title is "美就是一切" on Channel 8, presented by a particular slimming center in Singapore. In the show, they bring a "successfully-slimmed" customer on the show and make the guests guess the answers to the questions about this "success" case.

It was pretty amazing how they can attempt SO HARD to make it look like the "success" case is really "successful". It doesn't take a lot of observation for us to notice that the girl looks so much fatter in person than the pictures she took for the advertisements. The short clips of her said that she had slimmed down 12 kg in 2 months and this is no wonder how she already looked fat during the show-recording! Because a rapid loss of wei

ght like that sends the wrong signal to our body telling us to slow our metabolism, which makes further loss of weight more difficult. This is called the "starvation response".

From the clothes that the girl is wearing for the show (extreme right in the picture above), it's pretty obvious she's trying to hide her regained fats, the flower and thick belt at the tummy, the black tights, the cut sleeve... but none of these could hide her "thick" thigh and arms. I found her photo for the slimming center advert in the newspaper, see the difference for yourself!

Can you believe it is the same body in the show? Kudos to photoshop??!

Also, the supposed "expert" from the slimming center who gives "expert" opinions... sigh... not everything that she has said can be heeded to. One of the things which i heard can be translated that, "water retention is due to hormonal imbalance". Yes, but that is just one of the cause of water retention. In fact, hormonal imbalance is really common amongst females pre and post-menses, so that statement really doesn't mean anything. If there is anyone who really has a doctor-certified water retention problem, the person could possibly be suffering from serious health problems like kidney failure, heart problem, congestion of lymphatic system, ate too much salty food, wrong/too much medication etc. These "diagnosis" by these slimming centers can really potentially cause customers to turn away from real health issues thinking it's a weight problem...
