Eteri Tutberidze became the host of a show about weight loss, before the start of the project she was even compared to an Indian goddess. Sports understands how the methods of the honored coach of Russia will work on adult women who find themselves in a difficult situation.
The post-ironic nature of the new television show on the channel “Friday!” “Big Girls” is off the charts. Several women weighing more than 100 kg were recruited for the project. To make them lose weight, as well as get to the bottom of the reasons for overeating and change their lives, Tutberidze was invited as the main presenter.
Her mission officially sounds like “discipline coach.” It will be up to other people to prescribe a diet and plan a course of physical exercises. Eteri Georgievna will find the right words for the participants to put discipline in order and not let them go astray.
Yes, perhaps, few people can cope with the task of “losing weight” of the heroines of the show better than Tutberidze. She herself has stayed at about the same weight all her life. Her students maintained their ideal shape with superhuman efforts.
Yulia Lipnitskaya ate a powder mixture of protein and fiber for several months before the 2014 Olympics, and eight years later, a “battery” of cans of the same powder stood in Anna Shcherbakova’s room. Alina Zagitova didn’t even drink water before her performances in Pyeongchang – she just rinsed her mouth. Evgenia Medvedeva did approximately the same thing. All the methods worked – among the four of them, all the girls listed have three Olympic golds, two silvers, and even more world and European championship titles.
True, there is a nuance – the sacrificial readiness to achieve results at any cost sometimes, in addition to medals, it also has sad consequences. Lipnitskaya, for example, was officially treated for anorexia. But all this is usually written off as victories and the popular love that follows.
In fact, Tutberidze knows and can do everything that the show has to do in front of the cameras better than anyone else. From regular control weighing to a “control kick-off”, figuratively speaking. And she will even have to kick out the participants based on the results of the weigh-in – everything is like in sports.
It is extremely interesting what kind of motivation Tutberidze will offer to the heroines of the show. How to keep their will? Olympic gold, fame, worldwide success will not work here, like most methods that are effective when communicating with 15-year-old girls. You can't go far on authority alone. Losing weight from hundreds of kilograms to an acceptable weight is long and difficult, even within the framework of a show where all the participants came consciously.
In various projects there is one method that works for a short time – humiliation. People on television and various fitness freaks like to resort to this. They communicate with their charges in the spirit of an ensign from the “9th company”, who stands in front of a line of soldiers and yells, simultaneously punching someone in the gut for greater persuasiveness: “You are shit here! And I will make people out of you.”
However, Kartozia probably had in mind less obvious and bloodthirsty meanings . In addition to all the horrors described, Kali in religion is the most powerful force that comes at the right moment and acts instantly and effectively. And this, of course, hits the bull's eye. We hope that the project participants will not only eat them.
