How Realistic is My 600-lb Life Show?

When you witness such incredible weight loss results as in these My 600-lb Life success stories, it is only understandable to wonder how real this TV show is. While it is indeed classified as a reality TV series, that doesn’t mean it was completely staged or that the results or depicted events weren’t actually happening.

As with any reality TV show where people are followed around in their daily lives, or in this case, a 600 lb person getting ready for their bariatric surgery, there is a lot that the camera does not see. That said, My 600-lb Life does portray most of the aspects of bariatric surgery truthfully, but in other moments, it deviated slightly from reality, too.

My 600-lb Life doctor, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, is indeed a qualified professional specializing in vascular and bariatric surgery, and all the procedures and aftercare of every 600-pound person appearing on the show are paid for by his hospital. So, while none of the participants are paid to be in the show, their medical expenses are covered one hundred percent.

Who Was the Most Successful My 600-lb Life Participant?

It’s always nice to feel happy about other people’s successes, and My 600-lb Life transformed many lives. Of course, not all the participants succeed in their weight loss goals, but there are more than enough happy stories here, too. So, here we are in our My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now section, and this is the story of Milla, the most successful participant of the series:

Milla Clarke participated in season 4 of the series, and at the time, the 47-year-old weighed 751 pounds. Due to her weight, she hasn’t been on her legs for two years and had her children and husband taking care of her. However, Clarke was determined to stick to her goals, and at the end of her stint on My 600-lb Life, she had lost a staggering 596 pounds.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and her incredible strength and determination are surely inspiring! And if you’d like to see more of these incredible success stories, keep reading this list with 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now snippets. If anything, these people are the embodiment of sheer willpower and unwavering dedication to their goals.

The dr will tell them to lose a specific amount of weight before the next appointment with him, or else he won’t approve them for surgery. It seems like it’s usually 30 lbs, which is 5% of their over all weight at the beginning. The dr. might be a short guy but he has a way, that’s just short of condescending, to talk to them that makes them want to make the goal he sets for them. I’ve watched maybe up to 10 episodes, and even if the person is depressed, hates the world and their family, they still want to please “Dr Now”!!!

Doubtful, since there are plenty of other pictures of all of these folks online. They were all part of a television series, that was about morbidly obese folks, and their incredible transformations. This gal even had a blog, I believe. I assume whoever wrote this article felt this was a flattering picture, or they simply went with a ready made "before and after" photo, that they found when they googled.

I DO understand it, because I went through it. I used to weigh 230 lbs. I NEEVER got to 600 lbs BECAUSE when I went to the store and I couldn't fit into a size 18, I refused to take a size 20 off the rack. That night, I sat up and waited for the "Tai Bo" infomercial to come on and I bought it. THEN, I DID IT. I'm NOT judging these people, we ALL have weaknesses, however, there IS a point at which each of makes a choice to either continue in the behavior OR change it. They chose the food.

Watch an episode or two of the show and you'll see that many (if not most) of them are receiving some sort of welfare and are living with family members or a partner who are the main enablers. The type of s****y food they regularly eat isn't particularly expensive in the US (fast food is quite cheap and loaded with calories).

6points

diane a 6 years ago

I used to work in an Eating Disorder Service. It was part of the Substance Misuse sector of Adult Psychiatry. Literally food is a drug in some instances and some people are unable stop eating as much as they physically are able to. Genetics, etc does not lead to people becoming so vastly obese - just a huge calorie intake.

19points

Nadine Ducca 6 years ago

Many times, people who end up like this are suffering from anxiety, depression, and many also have PTSD from chidhood experiences. It's scary to see just how many people who appear on this show were raped as children. Without the proper support and mental therapy, these people choose to eat to hide their grief, pain, depression, fear, whatever it might be. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's in their genes. It's that specific person's way of coping with problems. Maybe these people are more prone to fall into addiction, and food can act as a drug because it stimulates pleasure areas of the brain. If you're feeling horribly down and alone and food makes you feel good, then you eat. But of course each person is different so not everybody will end up this way after traumatic experiences.

Heather Kong 6 years ago

Oh I remember where I get this idea from. One of our acquaintances looks very obese, but she told us she just bloated up after receiving hormone treatment for some illness. She was very sad after discovering she could not fit into any of her clothes again once she returned home from the hospital, and it hasn't been reverted since. So I was thinking maybe their obesity is pathological. Now I think though my acquaintance's is a rather rare case.

3points

A.R. 6 years ago

It doesn't say it but I've watched the show a few times. They only way these people have been able to lose all this weight is by under going extensive evasive surgery. It is a very painful ordeal to go through and most would not even consider it if they were not already on deaths doorstep. The side effects that come after are long long and can be horrible as well. My cousin wanted to do this as she weighed 300 pds but after going to a seminar and hearing all the facts she decided against it. I am only sharing this so you will know that there is no magic pill or just stop eating. You also have to go through strict mental evaluations because if you don't heal your emotional self, you can very easily gain all the weight back and more. I applaud the hell they have gone thru and will continue to go thru and pray they can remain strong and learn to love themselves. Fat or thin. No one gets this big unless they have some serious issues to deal with and that is prob. the hardest part of it.

As per Hararari's book Homo Sapiens DNA is still working on the regime of hunters-gatherers'. Only during past 10 000 humans started farming and over last 200 we've been operating as urban labourers. Such short time span is a spit in the sea in comparison with all the millions of years Homo has evolved through. We still see greasy, sweet food as rare and we still tend to eat it all at once, even though our fridges are full (as 'we' I here refer to urban culture)

Yup, as he wrote, if we were still hunter gatherers and found a tree covered with large juicy figs, we would stuff ourselves with as much as we could, before the local baboon gang found it.

Nate Higgers has over -3,000 downvotes. I say we give him more! (B******e)

He wants more. He's one of those who are trolling for down votes. Making deliberately disgusting comments. We should stop down voting him.

damn. these are inspirational people. Gaining weight is easy (for most) but losing it, especially on this scale, is either do or die, it's that serious.

I have to ask a question. When people are over 600 lbs, do they really eat themselves into this? Do they have a genetic disorder or something?

I'd like to see the after 5 years - bet many of them would have put on a lot of weight (except for those that have been surgically molested).

I'm thinking there must be surgery involved at some stage. You can't lose that much weight, impressive as it is, and have that much skin just snap back into place around your new body.

The excess skin would be phenomenal on these ex-600 pounders. They've all done incredibly well.

These people are very brave. I say that because my son is almost 500 lbs. He won't listen to anyone. Not his wife or kids. He's 45. Don't think he will make to an elderly age.

Then don't f*****g click on the article. For f***s sake. We're all sick of your f*****g whining, so from now on, when you don't like something, or think it's fake, be an adult and move along.
