The winner was Marco, with a total weight loss percentage of 40.65%, equivalent to 58.6kg (129.2lb); he received a prize of €50,000.[1] The eliminated contestant that achieved the biggest weight loss percentage – and won a prize of €25,000 – was José, with 38.08%, equivalent to 65.3kg (144lb).[2]
This season's host was television presenter Bárbara Guimarães, who replaced Júlia Pinheiro.[3] Returning from the first season were personal trainer Rui Barros,[4] nutritionist Teresa Branco,[5] and the Commando. Season one trainer Sara Freitas was replaced by fitness instructor Conceição Gonçalves,[6] while Nuno Queiroz Ribeiro was introduced as the show's healthy cuisine chef.[7]
