On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how structure can help you lose weight from the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan, Dr Gerard Musante.

Dr Musante's book is about change. Not just change in your weight—losing the pounds you want to lose. He says weight loss is important, but it's not really the change that is most important. Rather, The Structure House Weigh Loss Plan focuses on changing yourself in deeper, more significant, more durable ways than what you can measure simply by standing on your bathroom scale. He talks about changing how you view yourself. Changing your relationship with food. Changing your choices about how to live your life. Changing your attitude about change itself.

For over thirty years, Dr Musante has helped overweight and obese men and women learn about change at Structure House, the residential program he founded in Durham, North Carolina. Approximately one thousand people participate in their programs there each year. Some of these participants are ten, twenty, thirty pounds over their desired weight. Others have even more excess pounds and would be considered obese. Still others are morbidly obese—so overweight that their health is in immediate jeopardy.

Almost all of the people who have come to Structure House understand that excess weight can lead to medical problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other serious health risks. These participants stay at Structure House for a period of time and, each in his or her own way, learn about the possibilities for change and about the skills that make change possible. For more information about Dr Musante's book (which is now available in paperback) and his amazing program please go to his website www.structurehouse.com


We led the show off with Dr Lisa Young, author of the Portion Teller and the Portion Teller Plan.

Dr Young is a nationally recognized nutrition consultant and faculty member at New York University. Dr. Young has been counseling adults and children for more than 15 years, has published numerous articles on portion sizes, and frequently lectures on nutrition. Widely considered an expert on portion control, Young is regularly featured in national publications including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Self, Fitness, and Glamour. She has also been featured on national television including the Today Show, ABC News, CBS News, and CNN, and was in the film Super Size Me.

The Portion Teller Plan will teach you how to understand portion sizes so that you can lose weight and stop dieting, no matter what your portion personality might be. Are you a mindless muncher who snacks all day, a dinner lover who enjoys one big meal a day, or maybe a volume eater who always wants to sit down with a huge plate of food at every meal? No matter what your eating habits, The Portion Teller Plan offers a personalized eating plan that is right for you.

Instead of giving up the foods you love, learn to smartsize them with the help of one of the country’s leading nutritionists.   Would you ever consider going to the kitchen in the morning and grabbing five slices of bread for breakfast? No? Just one bagel or perhaps a bran muffin is more like it, right? Well, think again. Your morning bagel or muffin is probably equivalent to eating five slices of bread, maybe more. That’s most of your grain servings for the day.   And, that steak you ate last night? For all the calories and protein you consumed, you might as well have eaten 18 eggs. More than double the amount of protein you need in a day.  

Surprised at just how much you are eating? Dr. Lisa Young isn’t. She has been studying how Americans eat for more than a decade, and what she found is astonishing. Portion sizes have subtly and steadily increased over the past thirty years and are now two to five times larger than they were in the past. Even the average dinner plate has grown several inches to accommodate more food. The portions we’re served are getting bigger and we keep eating. The end result? That’s right. Americans are getting fatter. For more information about Dr Young and her books please go to her website www.portionteller.com

Next up we had our good friend Nicci Micco, Senior Editor with Eating Well magazine. We thanked her profusely for helping Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy become Editor's Picks in this month's issue of the magazine.

Nicci talked about an important article in her magazine titled "10 Steps to Heart Health" She says that you can change your fate just by Eating Well.

In the United States, heart disease affects about 9 million adults, killing one every 37 seconds. But the good news—which Dr. Philip Ades, author of the new book EatingWell for a Healthy Heart has made it his mission to spread—is that heart-disease is mostly preventable. Research shows that up to 90 percent of heart disease can be prevented by changing one’s diet, exercising more, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking.

Reduce your risk by following these 10 simple steps.

1- Know your numbers; 2-Calculate your risk; 3-Lose some weight; 4-less saturated fats; 5-lose the junk food. You'll have to listen to get the rest or go to their website for more information www.eatingwell.com. You can get Dr Ades' book there as well.

Next we had on Evelyn Tribole, author of the book Intuitive Eating.

Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, is an award-winning dietitian with a counseling practice in Irvine, California, where she helps clients create a healthy relationship with food, mind and body.  She was the nutrition expert for Good Morning America and qualified for the 1984 Olympic trials in the women's marathon. Although she no longer competes, she runs for fun and fitness. Evelyn had some great tips like eat like a food critic...taste each bite and slowly enjoy it. There were lots more tips

Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body--where you ultimately become the expert of your own body.   You learn how  to distinguish between physical and emotional feelings, and gain a sense of body wisdom.   It's also a process of making peace with food---so that you no longer have constant "food worry" thoughts.  It's knowing that your health and your worth as a person does not change because you ate a so-called "bad" or "fattening" food. 

On the surface this may sound simplistic, but it is rather complex. For example one of the basic principles of Intuitive Eating is the ability to respond to inner body cues, “Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full”, which may sound  like a no-brainer. But when you have history of chronic dieting  or rigid “healthy” rules about eating it's quite difficult because a number of things need to be in place, including the ability to trust yourself!

On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to get in shape for your wedding from the star of Buff Brides Sue Fleming.

Fitness expert Sue Fleming is the creator of the Buff Fitness® workout regimen. The program’s popularity led to a critically acclaimed reality TV series – Buff Brides – on Discovery Health Channel, still in reruns on Fit TV. Sue’s new Buff line of workout DVDs are based on her Random House/Villard book series, which includes Buff Brides, Buff Moms, Buff Moms-to-Be, and Fashionably Buff.

Sue is the newest celebrity trainer to join the roster of ExerciseTV, a new multi-platform television network dedicated to fitness, motivation and sports training.  Segments from each of Sue’s Buff workout DVDs can be viewed free on-demand by all Comcast, Time Warner and Cox digital cable customers.

Sue, a naturally competitive athlete, instinctively knew the better the bride looked and felt out of her clothes, the more magical she would look (and feel!) while donning the breath-taking couture creation of her fantasy wedding. And so was born the Buff Fitness regimen. Far more than another cleverly packaged brand, Fleming has brought a sense of steadfast teamwork to a results oriented regimen that has grown into a global health and fitness empire.

A native of New York’s Long Island, Fleming found her calling early on as she yearned for the camaraderie of team sports first at Riverhead High School and later while attending Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, where she earned her Masters. This proved to be particularly challenging in an era when women in sports were still a relative rarity.  “I was so grateful for women like Chris Evert and Billie Jean King, as they proved that women could be strong and athletic…and win!” recalls Fleming.

Sue says that whether you have six days or six months you can make a huge difference in the way you look and feel.  The real challenge however is to maintain it for 60 years.  That’s where Sue takes over.  Dedicated to working with clients to overcome their fears of fitness and body image, Sue develops the most important muscle of all…self-esteem.

Rather than resting on her well-toned laurels, Sue sees endless possibilities in bringing her message of fitness to the world. That’s why Sue wants women to understand that a fitness regimen is not a quick fix, but a long-term way of life.

A popular fixture in the media... USA Today, Cosmopolitan and InStyle Weddings not to mention a sought after guest on ABC TV’s Good Morning America learn more about Sue on her website www.buff-fitness.com

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio." Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast broadcasting live each week from Atlanta, GA, USA.   To download the show on iTunes please click on this link

On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how about the surprisingly simple weight loss plan for hardworking people who don't have time to diet from Heather Bauer, RD, CDN, author of The Wall Street Diet and founder of  www.Nu-Train.com.

Heather Bauer  is a Registered Dietitian specializing in the interrelation between eating habits, metabolism, and lifestyle. Since 2001, she has offered private diet and nutrition counseling through her New York City-based nutrition practice, Nu-Train.

Ms. Bauer received her RD from the University of Wisconsin and started her career in the pre- and post-natal nutrition unit at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, and as a staff nutritionist at Equinox Fitness Clubs.

Ms. Bauer has appeared as a featured nutritionist in several health and beauty publications including Elle, Marie Claire, Gotham, Self, Seventeen, YM, TimeOut, New York Magazine, and Fitness Magazine. She has also appeared as a guest expert on the CBS Early Morning Show as well as FOX News.

 Her brand new book THE WALL STREET DIET: The Surprisingly Simple Weight Loss Plan for Hardworking People Who Don't Have Time to Diet (Hardcover) by Heather Bauer  is available at her website  www.wallstreetdiet.com.

Bauer, a dietician, directs her flexible plan at people who would never go for prepackaged meals or calorie counting. Her clientele are workaholics who grab meals on the go, do business over expense-account lunches and are frequently confronted by unhealthy treats in the conference room or at office parties. Bauer claims her approach makes losing weight a seamless part of the corporate lifestyle rather than an add-on project to an already full schedule.

First, readers are asked to decide if they are a Clean Plate Clubber or a Controlled Eater, as this will help determine the course of their diet in regards to snacking, purchasing food and meal portions. Next, they are allowed to choose a few non-negotiables, i.e., the things they feel they cannot live without.

Once these guidelines are intact, Bauer offers strategies for dealing with the food choices most working people confront daily (for ordering in with co-workers, take note of the healthy menu options beforehand, and don't succumb to dishes like General Tso's Chicken). Though Bauer's diet consists of nothing earth-shattering (avoid flour and refined sugar, control portion sizes, etc.), the specificity of the situations and solutions presented should appeal to its target audience who are busy people.

Next we had on Laura King with www.Lauraking.net

Laura  is frequently sought out by Olympians, leading edge CEO's, professional athletes, prominent physicians, award-winning trainers and parents. She teaches individuals how to utilize their minds to make lasting changes in both their performance and lives.

In her recent book, The Power to Win, King explains how the use of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can easily help anyone conquer fear, build confidence and obtain unprecedented success. A popular speaker and admired life coach, Laura has published over 150 CDs and workbooks covering topics such as stress management, peak performance, public speaking, overcoming illness and much more.

Mrs. King is director and founder of Summit Dynamics, LCC and is a certified hypnotist and certified sport hypnotist. A student of human excellence and positive behavior modification for over 25 years, Laura was trained at the Omni Hypnosis Training Center and the Don Mottin Sports Hypnosis Training Center, and received her NLP training from Dr. William Horton. She also spent over two decades studying with her mentor, Dorothy Gates, Ph.D., internationally recognized authority on child and adult development.

She has an excellent tool to help you lose weight called the Complete Weight Loss / Be Fit for Life Series.

The Be Fit for Life Series - Complete Weight Loss Program gets results by retraining your brain to attain and maintain the ideal weight for your body type. Long-term weight loss is not a matter of willpower, it's about changing thought patterns that trigger behavior. Through self-hypnosis CDs, your subconscious mind puts you on autopilot to get and keep the body that is just right for you. You become focused on healthy eating, speeding up your metabolism, and developing a positive self-image.

 Then we were lucky to have the most popular home chef in Atlanta
Megan McCarthy with www.Healthyeating101.com in the studio with us.

Megan is a former vegan and vegetarian and brings her raw foodist background into real life, incorporating highly nutritious food into a healthy eating lifestyle.

Megan took an interest in healthy eating when she was trying to lose weight after college.  After trying every diet out there, she realized it was all about feeding the body nourishing and smart foods…simply called "Superfoods.”  All-natural and given to us in their perfect form, she transforms Superfoods into everyday eating pleasure.

Megan has been in the restaurant business since she was 16.   Some have included “Karyn's Fresh Corner” raw foods restaurant and several “Lettuce Entertain You” restaurants in Chicago.   She has taught healthy cooking classes for over 8 years.  She teaches in both Chicago and Atlanta for Whole Foods Market, Cook's Warehouse, Latin School"s Live and Learn, Discovery Center as well as many private home classes. Her classes sell out fast, as she is always one the most popular cooking instructors wherever she goes.

Megan also provides professional chef services to national corporate tradeshow clients at FMI (Food Marketing Institute), PMA (Produce Marketing Assoc.) and the International Home & Housewares Show.  She has made guest chef appearances at Crate & Barrel’s Gourmet Pantry and at the NBC Health and Fitness Expos.   She has also made guest appearances on radio and television programs, such as the nationally syndicated show, “Starting Over,” helping the women of the house choose healthier food alternatives.  She was recently featured on DailyCandy.com for her healthy home cooking classes in Chicago. 

And finally we closed the show with Jordan Goldberg who is with the website www.stickk.com

stickK promotes healthier and happier living by helping people achieve their personal goals through the signing of Commitment Contracts. Happier people = happier world!

On stickK, you draw up an official commitment contract that binds you to achieving a personal goal, be it big or small. By agreeing to this contract, you publicly state your goal and commit to achieving it. Or, if grand public pronouncements aren’t your style, you can tell only people you select. Either way, you’ve committed to a goal and people know about it - so now it’s your reputation at stake!

To make you accountable as you work toward your goal, you file weekly reports on your success. (And don’t even think about lying -- because you appoint someone you know as a “referee” to verify the accuracy of your reporting!) You also enlist as many Supporters as you’d like to encourage you, via the website, every step of the way. If being part of a group gives you momentum, you can join a community of people on the site who are working toward the same goal as you (this feature will be ready in February). To keep yourself focused throughout your adventure, you record your progress – daily -- in a personal journal.

Want to up the ante? Gamble more than your reputation. Place a financial wager on yourself.

No Dr Fitness' Fitness Tips this week but you can get his tips every day at our new website www.wellnessminutes.com or on iTunes here. Or our  blog www.drfitnessblog.com

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by over 3 dozen people who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's eating exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy Twitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy

Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was  not in the studio lending her thoughts and laughter.   Be sure to check out Kathie's website www.getkathie.com.

Tiffany from The Daily Candy called his family friendly radio show "Hilarious!" This is a great show for your kids.

And finally we closed the show with one of our favorite regulars Nicci Micco from EatingWell magazine stopped by to share all she knows about organic food and the importance of eating local.

Eating organic berries instead of conventional ones can reduce your exposure to pesticides, and recent research suggests that it also may give you a nutrient boost.

According to Marissa Lippert's, M.S., R.D. article in this month's Eating Well magazine the bottom line is...“Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables in general [not necessarily organic ones] is the point,” says Alyson Mitchell, Ph.D., an associate professor of food science and technology at University of California, Davis.

If buying all organic isn’t a priority—or a financial reality for you—you might opt for organic specifically when you’re selecting foods that are most heavily contaminated with pesticide and insecticide residues. According to the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org), those include peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes and pears.

For more information about organics and eating well in general check out Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy's favorite foodie magazine at www.eatingwell.com and when you're their be sure to sign up for some of their great email newsletters.

Dr Fitness' Fitness Tips were done this week by Kathie Larkin. She had some great activities you and your kids should check out...Number 1 -www.ymca.com has information about Healthy Kids Day on April 12  Number 2 - REI is sponsoring a great program called Get Out There to encourage participation in outdoor fun this Spring.  There were more great tips but you'll have to listen to get the rest.

On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how to get in beach shape with Lauren Jones the star of the BAYWATCH Beach Body Workout dvd

This sexy blonde bombshell has appeared on the WWE’s Smackdown; she’s been a soap star on The Guiding Light; a Miss New York USA semifinalist; the star of Fox’s Anchorwoman series; and now she’s donning Baywatch’s very recognizable red swimsuit to star in the new BAYWATCH Beach Body Workout DVD from Rodale.

This 57-minute strength and fat-burning program will get anyone in shape to hit the beach in a smaller, more daring swimsuit within weeks. Designed and directed by fitness expert Terry Simpson (star of Abs Diet Workout 2: Get Fit, Stay Fit, also from Rodale), the workout is credible (and Lauren’s looks are incredible), easy to follow, and challenging. The $14.98 (SRP) DVD will be available wherever fitness videos are sold as well as www.amazon.com.

Baywatch is a global phenomenon that has attracted more than two billion viewers worldwide and was the most-watched TV show of the ’90s. The beach body theme runs throughout the Baywatch DVD. Shot on the beach in Malibu, the workout segments have lifeguard themes like “Rescue Shape” to work the upper body and “Surfing” to work balance. Most of the moves are familiar, like lunges and squats, making it easy to master—yet there are challenging moves like in-and-out push-ups. Lauren guides viewers through cardio segments and muscle-toning exercises, letting viewers know what they can expect. Muscles are worked from head to toe, mostly with the help of hand weights. Bonus segments include “Baywatch Sun Protection Tips” and talent slide shows of Lauren and her two backups, C.J. and Derrick. For more information about Lauren and what she's up to including her  clothing line, her art and more check out her website www.laurenjones.net

On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how to stay motivated in order to lose weight and achieve all of your goals. Donna Krech, creator of the Donna Krech Connection shared her 7 reasons people lose their motivation and what they can do to get back on track. The number one reason was that people get distracted, they lose focus. And in order to stay focused you have to figure out your "Big Why" Why are you really trying to lose weight - she says it's probably not what you think. It's not to fit into your college clothes or get to your high school weight. You're going to have to dig deeper than that.

Donna is a successful entrepreneur, speaker and published author with over 25 years in the weight loss and fitness industries. She truly has lived the American Dream AND is an expert in teaching others to do the same.  She has shared the stage with motivational speakers like Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy…etc.  These are people she looked up to and admired when she was struggling and no she shares the stage with them at events.

She’s taught her proven methods to 1500 audiences in 26 countries.  As a media personality, she hosts Fitness Insider (Oprah’s Oxygen network); dedicated to illustrating that fitness can be fun!  Observing a 97% re-gain of weight in commercial weight loss organizations, Donna’s cutting edge, ahead-of-the-trend companies are changing statistics.  She gets her audience enthusiastically involved as they come to understand the REAL solution to permanent and profitable weight loss.  Because of her systems, her 71 Thin&Healthy locations are seeing dreams come true and millions of pounds lost. Learn more about Donna, and get a ton of great information at her website www.donnakrechconnection.com

We also had on regular contributor and Senior Editor of Eating Well Magazine Nicci Micco. Nicci explained to us the difference between farm raised Atlantic salmon and wild salmon. She said that health-wise eating most fish and especially salmon is good for you. But from an environmental perspective eating wild salmon is probably the way to go. To learn more about this issue please go to Dr Fitness' favorite food magazine's website www.eatingwell.com Remember pick up this months Avocado issue at Whole Foods or  subscribe online.

We also had on Susan Bellone and Matt Jones. These two inspirational people have teamed up to help feed the hungry. Susan started Potatoes for Pounds where she has donated 10 pounds of potatoes for every pound she has lost. And she is encouraging others to follow her lead. Matt is a gallery owner who does events and encourages his patrons to donate potatoes and other food as their ticket into his events. He has been doing this for years and has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to food banks.  These two are encouraging everyone to get involved start a challenge in your community. For more information go to their websites www.mashedpotatoes.org www.myspace.com/potatoesforpounds and their new www.paintdancing.com

Ellen Barrett also joined us to discuss her new exercise dvd project. Ellen has been called the country's best fitness instructor by Self magazine. She encourages women to Sweat Glamorously. She has targetted modern workouts for modern women. In additon to working with Hollywood's hottest stars like Christina Ricci, Ellen has carved out a huge following of exercise dvd lovers with an impressive library of her work. Check out her The Studio series:  Yogini Workout, Fat Burning Fusion and Slim Sculpt. For more about Ellen please go to her website www.ellenbarrett.com

And we closed the show with Pam Vetter, a celebrant from Los Angeles. For those not in the know a celebrant helps families heal with uplifting funerals. PAm has done celebrity funerals like Richard Pryor's but spends most of her time helping regular folks go out in a way that really celebrates their life instead of a typical sad preachy service from a religious leader who in some cases barely knows the departed. Funeral's don't have to be a buzz kill they can really be meaningful, fun and inspirational. Visit Pam online at www.thefunerallady.com or www.celebrantpam.com

No Dr Fitness Fitness Tips and no Rachael the Intern's hot internet finds this week. 

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by over 3 dozen people who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's eating exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy Twitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy

Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was nowhere to be found. she's usually in the studio lending her thoughts and laughter.  You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for hot moms, fat moms, all kinds of moms and is available on most PBS' around the US and online and now on in Atlanta. So be sure to look out for that. Remember Kathie is one of the top feet and legs model's out there... she is so hot she got to be a body double for Alyssa Milano in that Veet commercial that is on TV 24 hours a day. Be sure to check out Kathie's website www.getkathie.com. Also check out her hosting skills on www.RealSavvyMoms.com.

Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. Now these Wellness Minutes are available online.  If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too.
