Netflix's latest tell-all documentary focuses on one of the most popular television shows in the United States a few years ago - The Biggest Loser.
The reality series featured a competition between overweight and obese people as they looked to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of their body weight.
Though popular, the show attracted criticism.
According to LiveScience.com, "physicians and nutritionists worry the show's focus on competitive weight loss is, at best, counterproductive and, at worst, dangerous."
Netflix goes behind the scenes in the new documentary, titled Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, which comes to the platform on 15 August.
The official description of the show from Netflix reads:
'Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser is a three-part documentary series that takes an inside look at the making of the hit reality TV competition, exploring the good, the bad, and the complicated. Featuring interviews with former contestants, trainers, producers, and health professionals, the documentary examines the show’s approach to transformation, the support systems in place, and the unique challenges of filming reality television. The series explores how the experience shaped the lives of those involved with the show long after the cameras stopped rolling and invites viewers to reflect on the balance between entertainment and well-being, and what it truly means to pursue lasting change.'
