Doctor Nowzaradan was shocked by what happened in an episode of Lives on the Edge. Like him, so do the spectators.
Lives on the edge is a program broadcast on Real Time for several years, often considered controversial. In fact, the absolute protagonist of this show is Doctor Nowzaradan, who studied in various colleges around the world to achieve the skills that he demonstrates.
However, many activists of the rank against fatphobia saw in this show the seeds of discrimination perpetrated on the small screen. According to them, Lives on the Limit would in fact be a program in which various clichés are brought forward.
Among these is the fact that fat people are lazy. According to this principle, obese individuals would simply lack the will to get back into shape. Activists against fat phobia point out that severely obese people mostly have delicate situations to resolve in a therapeutic way.
In fact, as much as society demonizes even those who suffer from addictionshow is it possible that the smoker is not pointed out as a problematic element? The difference in treatment is glaring, according to them. They also criticize Nowzaradan’s methods.
Nowzaradan’s methods
The doctor is known to be quite passionate in his work. For this reason, the comments he makes to his patients are often particularly harsh. His goal is to encourage them to take steps towards personal well-being, stirring their consciences.
These methods often make extensive use of yelling and screaming, which spectacularizes the weight loss process in the program. In any case, controversial or not, it is undoubted and factual that many Nowzaradan patients have started a new life. An example is Charity.
The loss of Charity Pierce
Charity Pierce is a woman who weighed 356kg. In practice, his life was about to be decidedly interrupted, aggravated by health problems of various kinds, as well as psychological problems. In short, it was a life on the edge. It all happened in Houston, Texas.
However, thanks to Nowzaradan’s intervention, Charity lost 130 kg in just one year. It doesn’t end there: currently, Charity weighs only one hundred kilos. This is an incredible result: the sensational loss of all these extra kilos has given hope to other Nowzaradan competitors and aspiring patients.
