T ell the winners of the Big Feast Contest that there is no such thing as free meals, and they are sure to disagree. On Saturday eight people , won a three-night-two-day stay in the Aamby Valley home of the Biggest Loser Jeetega contestants, starting Friday . Also, they got an opportu- nity to face the challenges which the contestants did. Although the difficult work-out sessions and diet food wasn't exactly their idea of a holiday the winners did- , n't complain. Trained under Yusuf Khan, they agreed the contest was an eye-opener. Inder Singh Negi, a busi- nessman from Delhi, had never worried about his weight until he came here. He said, "As the tension at work and home gained pri- ority, I did not bother to watch my weight. Now I plan to follow a strict regime when I get back." Siddhesh Patil, another Big Feast winner, Mumbai, believes Mumbaikars have no time for exercise. "Khan helped us realise that exer- cises can be included in everyday activities. I plan to cycle for 45 minutes and climb at least 100 stairs dai- ly." As the first season of Biggest Loser Jeetega contest draws to an end, some of the Feast winners hope to con- test for the next show. Khan, the trainer of the blue team admitted that the contest is not easy . He remarked, "It is diffi- cult to face challenges day after day, away from your family and cut out from the world. Emotions get blown out of proportion." In a reverse of the Shake- spearean saying, " pound of A flesh for money the winner ," receives a lakh for every kilo lost and a chance to live a healthier and more con- tented life.
