The ladies of The View discussed the potential dangers of being asked to lose that kind of weight so quickly.

"Their main concern is that rapid weight loss in the period of the show can lead to hazardous things like heart attack, etc," said co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who safely lost her post-baby weight in 14 weeks. "So they're getting more concerned about the well-being of the contestants and I think that's something they'll need to be mindful of," she suggests.
