Summary: In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we briefly discuss the 4th episode of The Biggest Loser, which recently had only a brief 2 minute nutrition segment hosted by one of the past contestants. We mention the fact that even though nutrition is critically important in weight loss success, the TV show tends to focus more on the fitness and exercise aspect of weight loss, which we feel is sending the wrong message to people. Dr. Rob also mentions an article he recently came across that highlights Nighttime Eating Syndrome (NES), which is characterized by no morning appetite, evening and nighttime eating and insomnia. Dr. Rob doesn't agree with this being classified as a legitimate syndrome. Dr. Rob also answers a question from a listener regarding optimal endurance nutrition. For many endurance athletes still follow the concept of carbo-loading to prepare an event; however, Dr. Rob explains why this approach is not very efficient.
