Season 4 "bad boy" Neil Tejwani says he's a "lovable teddy bear"

1. There aren’t many people I get to interview at my blog who can understand what it feels like to weigh over 400 pounds and then lose about half of it like I did. But today’s guest here at the “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb” blog did indeed weigh 421 pounds when he started his quest to better health on the hit NBC reality weight loss television program “The Biggest Loser” in Season 4. He’s Neil Tejwani and we’re so happy to have him here to talk about his appearance on the show, the astonishing turnaround in his weight and health, and what he intends to do henceforth to remain fit and trim for life.

But you were telling me that your weight was even higher prior to beginning this journey with “The Biggest Loser” and that you were thinking about having gastric bypass surgery. How big did you get and how did you weight loss progress differ once you got on the show compared to your own efforts? Incidentally, from day one of the show to the final weigh-in, how long is that? That’s never been clear to me in the past few years of watching “The Biggest Loser.”

Click here to read the full interview with Neil Tejwani as he discusses what it was like training with Bob Harper on "The Biggest Loser," his hindsight take on the "game play" he engaged in during the show, and what he plans on doing to help curb the obesity epidemic into the future. You're gonna LOVE this interview (which includes some updated photos of Neil today!).
