The contestants on BL do a lot of resistance training, but they are using relatively light weights and the goal is more to prevent muscle loss than to build a lot of muscle. (20% of contestants actually LOSE muscle mass, while 80% gain a small amount.) In the first week, huge amounts of glycogen from the liver are mobilized for energy because the body is not conditioned for exercise, and a lot of water is lost when the glycogen is used. This accounts for most of the weight loss in week 1.

@JDRKGGDS As you work a muscle, the demand for oxygen goes up because oxygen is necessary to make ATP, the energy the muscle uses. The body senses that the muscle's need for oxygen is now greater than what the body can provide, so it goes into "build" mode, adding mitochondria (which convert oxygen and sugar into ATP) within the muscle cells and more capillaries outside the cells to deliver the oxygen. This building adds weight, but the additional mitochondria burn more calories 24/7.

I dont think they do it because they think we're daft, but I think its for people who missed previous episodes are something.. but it is pretty annoying.
Um, you won't gain muscle mass in one week Miriam.
Also, I wish people understood this muscle vs. fat thing. People use it as an excuse for gaining weight and they don't even understand it!
