Tammy Slaton’s weight loss journey on 1000-Lb Sisters has been frustrating for the reality star, as well as the fans who root for her to make more progress, but a seemingly simple fix like a personal chef isn’t as useful as viewers might think. Tammy has tried to lose enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery but hasn’t been very successful sticking to her diet regimen. Although hiring a personal chef might sound like an obvious resolution, here’s why Tammy needs more than just someone that can make food for her.
Both Amy and Tammy strived to lose weight throughout their time on 1000-Lb Sisters, but the pair of Slaton sisters haven’t found equal success. As the duo attempted to lose enough weight to undergo bariatric surgery, Amy and Tammy experienced varied results. Amy was successful in consistently burning pounds and was able to have the operation. After getting bariatric surgery, Amy got pregnant and lead a healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, Tammy hasn’t enjoyed the same achievements as her sister. Although Tammy would demonstrate that she lost weight during her check-ins with bariatric surgeon Dr. Procter on season 1, she usually didn’t lose as much weight as she should’ve. In season 2, Tammy’s doctors discovered the reality star actually gained weight.
As 1000-Lb Sisters season 3 approaches, Tammy’s support system and the series’ fans are concerned that the Slaton sister will continue to move backward in her weight loss journey. In a preview for 1000-Lb Sisters season 3, Amy expressed that she felt like watching Tammy gain weight was like watching the Titanic sink. One suggestion Reddit fans have for Tammy is hiring a personal chef. The main reason why Tammy is unable to make progress in her weight loss venture is that her food addiction gets in the way of the reality star’s diet. Fans hope hiring a personal chef will improve Tammy’s chances of sticking to her diet and finally losing the weight she has attempted to let go of since season one. One Reddit user, Designer_Breadfruit9, wrote, “Why didn’t the family get a personal chef to make healthy food?… Diet just makes more sense as a starting point.”
Previously, Tammy and Amy shared they struggle to stop eating junk food, so employing a personal chef sounds like it would help Tammy eat healthier food consistently. Unfortunately, there are a few reasons why hiring a personal chef wouldn’t resolve Tammy’s weight loss problems. First off, a personal chef is expensive, and Tammy and Amy have been open about their financial insecurity. Another 1000-Lb Sisters fan commented that a personal chef wouldn’t fix the root of the issue, which is Tammy’s excessive eating. The Reddit user explained, “[It] won’t help her when Tammy just wants to binge eat.” Another fan noted it would be a ton of work for a personal chef to accommodate Tammy’s diet, writing, “She eats over 10K calories a day. And she gets HELLA crabby if she thinks someone’s withholding food.” Unfortunately, a chef would be overworked and unable to change Tammy’s weight.
Viewers are scrambling looking for a quick fix to Tammy’s weight loss problems, but a personal chef isn’t the correct solution. Although a chef could make healthier food options, Tammy would likely still be overeating. Additionally, personal chefs are expensive and Tammy isn’t the typical client. Hopefully, Tammy can come up with a more practical solution on 1000-Lb Sisters season 3.
