Bob Harper
Lose weight with NBC's Biggest Loser blue team coach.
BACKGROUND
Having a personal trainer means working really hard and lots of discipline. The reward is that you always picture yourself with the dreamy trainer - so that makes up for it. With Bob Harper, you get the entire package - a good-looking, personable trainer who is dedicated to helping you realize your full potential. Bob has many years of experience and is certified with several notable fitness organizations.
Bob became a household name and put his mark on the fitness landscape by being one of the wildly popular trainers on NBC's hit show The Biggest Loser. The spring of 2008, Bob continued his success as one of the most respected trainers in the world with the publication of his book "Are You Ready! To Take Charge, Lose Weight, Get in Shape and Change Your Life." The book is a well-rounded and smart approach to managing the emotional side of weight, nutritious eating and regular exercise and physical activity.
Bob has a true passion for his work - and you get to reap the benefits. Exercise is usually as fun as dental work and watching paint dry. However, Bob Harper's practical advice, friendly disposition and consistent motivation make him a valuable partner.

DIET and NUTRITION
On Biggest Loser, he promotes his Eat More Diet. He suggests that all of that food you might be cutting out could be the answer to why you're not losing weight. Your body needs certain calories and nutrients to function properly and become less dependent on fat stores. Bob suggests that by consuming between four and six smaller meals throughout the day, you'll be able to beat hunger before it starts. You'll consume a diet that is low calorie and low carb. Portion control is also important, since you can always have too much of a good (or bad) thing. An example of a day on Bob Harper's Eat More Diet could be: - Breakfast Five egg whites with turkey bacon
Morning Snack: Slice of deli chicken with string cheese and mustard
Lunch: Albacore tuna on a spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette
Afternoon Snack: Laughing Cow light cheese with a celery stick
Dinner: Grilled salmon with steamed asparagus and a tossed salad
EXERCISE
Bob is a trainer, so he is focused on exercise. Should you follow his DVD program through Push.tv, subscribe to the Biggest Loser Club or read his book, you can definitely expect to get moving. Exercise will vary on both programs with Biggest Loser being more customized to your needs.
Harper is also a big practitioner and promoter of yoga, and many of his workouts have a yoga concentration or influence.
CONCLUSION
Bob Harper is certainly making a name for himself in weight loss circles. While he's been a highly sought-after trainer in L.A. for years, working with names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Stiller, he's now more accessible than ever. Bob is a trainer on NBC's Biggest Loser, author of a weight loss book, star of several exercise DVDs and a featured speaker for many events. His approach to weight loss is practical and realistic. He motivates you to start by recognizing important changes on the inside and working toward the physical changes on the outside. Both the DVD videos and Biggest Loser are affordable, and both make losing weight a lot more fun than you've probably had before.

Hey Bob, I want you to know that you are the best trainer in th world. I am a 28 year old from NC, and I am over 400 lbs. I have been overweight most of my life and I am struggling to lose weight. I have lost a little bit, but that's not enough for me at my age. I am asking you to help me. I wouldn't want anybody but you to be my trainer because you're the best at what you do.
I like your smile, your enthusiasm, your motivation, and your love for people. So please if you will help me to reach my goal. My goal is to lose at least 150 lbs.
I hope you get my mail, please e-mail me back I would love to hear from you as soon as possible. I have been a very big fan since the first season of the show and I always will be. I will continue to cheer you on here in NC. You are worth cheering for. I encourage you to keep doing what you do best because it shows. Take care. Love Ya Bob.

Hi Bob: I love Biggest Loser, and have become a big fan of yours. I have a question for you though, I am underweight and have become anemic recently. I know that I need to eat more veggies, my question is how does one get over the mental block of eating veggies when one hasn't eaten veggies in a very long time?
Bob, I have just one question. The bands on the upper arm of the contestents on the biggest loser. Were can you get one? The ones that you can put all your information on the computer with.

Bob,
I love your commitment to incorporating yoga. I used to teach, but gave up my certification. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my certification.? I also just had my 2nd child 2 weeks age and had not lost my weight frm my first child yet. I am 5"7 and 200lbs. I would like some diet and exercise guidance, and I like your style.

Hi Bob, I love watching the Biggest Loser, you are terrific. Why are your workouts not on my cable television any more. I have Comcast and I love working out with you, where did you go?
Shelly
Bob- you are really cool. ure one of the inspirations of why i go to track practice everyday and work my hardest. i LOVE watc hing the Biggest Loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob, My name is Frank, I am retired Navy and have had both my hips replaced. This limits my options on working out. My wife Deidre is on medication for bipolar with side effects of weight gain. What are our options. Do you see a biggest looser for people with disabilities in the future. I weigh 270 my wife now weighs 200
I am not overweight, but know that if I continue to eat the way I do, I will be. I am an emotional eater, have poor eating habits, have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
I really love The Biggest Loser. Since watching your show, I've discovered the real reason behind my "binge" eating. Instead of dealing with my problems, I eat.
I'm planning on going into counseling. I know that if I start eating healthy and excercising, it will make a difference in my health. I've seen the results of the people on your show.
I will remain a fan of yours and Jillian and start following the suggestions you give on The Biggest Loser. Both of you, keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to many.
Joelle commented about a by -pass. My daughter died 17 months out from a by -pass. She bled to death. People need to hear the real facts about weight surgery.
Bob Harper is soooo HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
I love him!
Keep on helping people Bob, your my inspiration!!!!!
Bob,
I'm 12 years old and I love the Biggest Loser! I love sports and i've never struggled with my own weight, but the way you help people is inspiring to me. You are so gentle, kind, cute, and i love you. Watching the biggest loser and seeing how good trainers you and Jillian and helps me become a better person. My ultimate dream is to meet you one day and give you a hug! I love you and keep on helping people. Your my inspiration!!!
Love,
Brianna-
your biggest fan<3
Bought and read your book-its great.
Also have watched nearly every program of the Biggest Loser!! Think you are both
great-but would cry with Jillian yellin at me. Am 72 yrs old have had bilateral knee replacement so am somewhat limited with the exercises. Have a treadmill-but am so out of condition & have the big belly of this age & I hate it!!
Any suggestions?? Am doing 10 min at a time on the treadmill-can't do an incline due to the knees. Look forward to
your suggestions!!
Hey Bob,
I am from your home town in Tennessee. I know several of your family and I tallk to them regularly. I am a few years yonger than you so you had moved from Stroudsville by the time I was born. I am 40 years old and I weigh 270 pounds. I would love the opportunity to work out with you, however I have very bad knees so my exersice is limited until I get some of this weight off. Well, that's hard without exercise! Can you help me? I am a Kindergarten teacher, so is it possible to do a show for teachers only and film in the summer months? That would be my dream come true! Spending the summer with you and lose weight and come home a new healthier person!
Mr. Bob is great. I make sure I am home in time to watch the biggest loser because of him. Because of Bob and Julian, i love reading books on health, where before I would not open a book. I am sorry to hear about his mom. I am sure she was very proud of him . . Keep up the good work Bobby Boy . . .
I would love to have the dvd, but with my husband the only one on social security and limited income, I cant afford it. I have over 300 lbs and I would love to get down to at least 140. My will power isnt good and when you have to cook for a small husband, he expects you to eat right along with him. Im in a rut., Sorry to hear about Bobs mom, God Bless Tammy
Today I was seeing "the biggest loser" special Australia when I heard that Bob's mother is dead! I am sincerly sad and I would like to say to Bob that he is a great star here .From Morocco, I say to him that his mother is proud of him just like I am.He inpires me to loose weight. God bless him.
