A contestant on “The Biggest Loser” loses 50% of his/her body weight during the show. After the show is over the contestant gains 50% of his/her body weight. Is the contestant better or worse off tha

The contestant is worse off than before the show. Assuming the contestant weighed 200 pounds before the show, they would have lost 100 pounds during the show, leaving them at 100 pounds. However, after gaining 50% of their body weight back, they would be at 150 pounds, which is still 50 pounds heavier than their original weight. Losing and gaining weight rapidly can be harmful to one's health and can often lead to metabolic issues, making it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Therefore, the contestant is worse off than before the show as they have gained back some of the weight they lost and are still heavier than their initial weight.
