The host of The Biggest Loser, Bob Harper reveals that the new season that is premiering early next year is all about getting healthy. The extreme weight loss show has evolved with the times and is no longer about which contestant can lose the most weight.

Since 2004,The Biggest Loser was a stapleon NBC for 17 seasons. The extreme weight loss show features obese and overweight contestants looking to transform their lives by losing weight and getting healthier. Not only are they competing to be the "biggest loser" of weight, but they're also competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight. The weight loss competition show has had a successful run on NBC and even ranked among the top 50 shows in the United States from 2004 to 2005 and then again from 2009 to 2011. Though recently,The Biggest Loserhas caused controversy after allegations arose that the contestants were forced to lose weight by any means necessary, including being malnourished, dehydrated, overworked, and in rare cases given weight loss pills in order to get them to have a dramatic weight loss. Though based on studies, it was revealed that the contestants would typically gain their weight back and sometimes even permanently damage their metabolisms from the extreme dieting.

After the show stopped airing on NBC in 2016, and on May 13th, 2019, it was announced that they were working on a reboot of the show for the USA Network, set to premiere in 2020. Longtime host and trainer on the show, Bob Harper promises that the revamped version will be a whole totally different format. He said toPeople,"The whole look of the show is going to be so different."The 54-year-old trainer revealed that the show is working toward a more holistic approach to losing weight and getting healthy. Harper revealed the new concept of the show, saying, "Its not about getting skinny, its about getting healthy."He said the main goal is to see"people getting off medication, reversing their type 2 diabetes, lowering their blood pressure."He continued, "I get to bring in my expertise, and I get to hear about a new approach ...I think theres a really good symmetry here."

While the whole concept of the show has flipped on its head, plenty of aspects from the old show remain, such as the weigh-ins, the team competitions, and the daily workouts with trainers. Though this time around there will be all new trainers, Erica Lugo and Steve Cook. The contestants will be focusing on understanding nutrition, their mental health, and the importance of exercise. Harper also revealed that they make sure the contestants understand"the importance of managing their stress and how important sleep is when it comes to weight loss. We really want to get that whole-body approach."Not only are they helping them on the show, but they also implemented after-care which includes a free gym membership, access to a nutritionist, and getting set up with a support group.

Since we live in a time where overweight no longer equals unhealthy and that skinny doesn't always equal healthy, fans are looking toward new goals for the contestants seeking to want to get healthy. It seems that this whole-body approach, along with the aftercare is a much-needed change in the right direction. It makes fans wonder why it took 17 seasons to realize that the format wasn't working. Fans can look forward to the new and improved version ofThe Biggest Loserearly 2020.
