Really, now. You wouldn't eat that, right?

There is an NBC television show called "The Biggest Loser", where overweight contestants battle each other in the quest of losing pounds and the one that manages to lose the most goes home fit and $250,000 richer. Well, this show has become a skill game on King.com and anybody can now try to be the biggest loser. But, without getting the money prize.

"The Biggest Loser' game extends the television experience for viewers who like to interact," said
Toby Rowland, co-Founder of King.com. "For any show fan, the 'Biggest Loser' game provides a platform to have fun and test their skills at making the right dietary choices and staying in shape."

While playing the game, you should try and stay away from pizzas, hamburgers and sweet tasty candies and eat carrots, lettuce or healthy apples instead. Losing weight won't be such an easy deal, though, since there will be lots of temptations around which will make your life harder. But... you've got the will power and if you think that's not enough, you will also be given special items to help your quest of getting thin and fit.

"The success of the Biggest Loser Club, books, and workout DVDs has shown us how the viewers of the show like to interact beyond merely watching the show," said executive producer of the show, Mark Koops. "Our show appeals to a wide range of individuals and challenges them to eat better and workout. This partnership with King.com provides another innovative, exciting, and interactive opportunity."

Indeed, players are able to share their thought or encouragements via the game's forums. And if being the biggest loser doesn't sound to appealing for you, you should know that this one is not the only skill game from the website inspired from NBC shows. American Idol, Deal or No Deal, and 1 vs. 100 have also been turned into skill games.
