How come Hurley hasn't lost an ounce of weight on "Lost"?
It's been a month of eating virtually nothing, shouldn't he be losing significant amounts of weight?
I mean you can see the loss of the participants on "Survivor", so wouldn't Hurley losing in real life to remain true to the show be something that should have been executed and how could it be explained otherwise?

Well there have been a few deaths prior to Boone, right? Maybe he figured "why let all that good meat go to waste?"

A better question: 43 survivors and yet only about a dozen actually do anything worthwhile? What the hell are these other 30 yahoos doing? Why do they only show up when someone dies or has a baby?
I understand the nature of tv casts, regulars and whatnot. But at the same time, it wouldn't hurt to include one of these random people in something eventful every once in awhile (other than simply being 'red shirts').

Hurley is eating all the boar meat that Locke catches for the group. Everyone know boar meat are filled with a lot of fat. That's why Hurley is not loosing as much weight as we think he should be loosing.

Can you by sight tell the difference between 650 and 600 lbs?
How about 175 and 125?

Would have been funny if they had hired a skinny actor to play Hurly, then filmed episodes in reverse order, so the actor could have time to pork out.
Actually filming in reverse order would be a great idea, if only to force the writers to have a firm storyline, instead of making it up as they go.

I remember an interview with the writers that mentioned that Hurley isn't going to look radically different or emaciated anytime soon, because even with all the episodes we've already seen, it's only been maybe a month since they've been stranded. Don't have the exact number of days (I'm sure someone's tracking it) but every ep. seems to be about a day or so of time.
