How does it work?

Simple. Once you join The Biggest Loser Club Asia, we'll ask you a few questions about yourself, including your height and current weight. From that info, we:

• Calculate your daily calorie target, in other words the amount of calories you should consume per day in order to lose 0.5 to 1kg per week;
• Recommend a healthy goal weight for you (but you can choose your own as well).

We'll also ask you some questions about the types of foods you prefer to eat, as well as the types and amount of exercise you do, so that we can personalise your food and exercise plan.

Once you've answered all of the questions, The Biggest Loser Asia trainer, Dave Nuku, will talk you through your program with a special personalised welcome video. He'll introduce you to the key tools you'll use to lose weight, including your diary, menu plan and exercise program. If you have any questions, you can post a message on the forums or contact our customer service team.

How long do I have to do it for?

This depends on how much weight you have to lose. Our 12-week program will introduce you to all the key concepts of weight loss. Ideally, you'll stay until you've achieved your goal weight and learned to maintain it successfully. Weight maintenance requires as much effort as weight loss, and we find that many members keep using The Club well after they achieve their goal weight.

Regardless of how long you stick around for, we'll offer you support, great content and all the tools you need at every stage of your journey.

What food and drinks can I have?

No foods are forbidden with The Biggest Loser Club Asia program as long as you stay within your calorie target. However, you'll soon discover how healthier foods in sensible portions can give you the best results.

We provide lots of meal ideas and recipes to help you improve the quality of your diet. Our menu plans are a great guide if you're not sure what to eat. They include treats, such as beer and ice cream, to show you how these foods can fit into a healthy diet.

What sort of exercise do I have to do?

You can do whatever exercise you like: dancing, swimming, walking, cycling... But, when you first start, it's a good idea to follow the balanced exercise plan we put together based on your current fitness and your stated preferences. Your plan will include a range of exercises and easy-to-follow instructions. You’ll find that it will build in intensity as you get fitter. We do not ask you to exercise as hard or for as long as the contestants on the show – our exercise plans are designed for people losing weight at home. There are currently four exercise programs to choose from:

1. A class lover's program, for people who love attending group fitness classes at a gym.
   
2. A home gym program, which includes workouts you can do in your house or apartment.
3. A combo program, including a variety of gym workouts, classes and home sessions.
4. A gym program, for people with gym memberships.

Is it private?

Yes. The Biggest Loser Club Asia is private... there are no embarrassing public weigh-ins and your log-in gives you your own personal space in The Club that no one else can see.
