He also chimed in on the recent tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo and how he recently appeared on the Larry King Show to discuss it.   He also said that a lot of bad dog behaviors like digging or chewing can be traced to your dogs frustration. And you might be able to cure the dog by exercising your dog. Remember when you do exercise your dog do it at dog speed not Fat Guy speed. Harrison talked about his upcoming project he is working on with James Gandolfini and his upcoming book. For more info on everything he is up to be sure to check out his website www.harrisonforbes.com

We led off the show with womens health journalist Karen Bridson author of the book Secrets of Skinny Chicks. Karen interviewed 25 skinny women to learn exactly how they got in shape. She purposely chose women who were not naturally skinny to see what they did and didn't do to achieve their weight loss goal. It seems that in order to lose weight you must be very mindful of your eating and to exercise a lot more than you think is enough. Her book also touches on the dangers of overdoing it. She shares a very personal story of a friend of hers who suffered from an eating disorder. Please check out her book at Amazon, Barnes and noble and other bookstores.

And we ended the show and 2007 with a great interview with one of our BFF's Jennifer Nicole Lee. JNL shared some of the exciting things she has planned in 2008. She has got calendars, ebooks, dvds and lots and lots of photos on her website www.jennifernicolelee.com.

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by close to 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.

Imagine a day when you can reach into your freezer pull out a donut or cinnamon  bun , microwave it for a few seconds  and enjoy it without feeling guilty about the gazillion calories and fat you just ate. Well everyone that day is today. Frank Dilullo, a man who was raised in the donut business has figured out a proprietary way to avoid making greasy fattening donuts. These great tasting low fat and low calorie donuts are hand rolled and hand cut, they use a wheat based wheat and avoid any added artificial sweeteners and chemicals. Each donut is hand filled and frosted before being flash frozen and shipped directly to you via Fedex. No, boys and girls, you are not dreaming these massive donuts have been tested in a USDA lab to verify their claims! They passed with flying deliciously frosted colors. A doctor even recommends them, along with Lisa Lillien The Hungry Girl, Donnie Deutsch, and our friends at The Daily Candy. Trust the Fat Guy you will not get a more delicious tasting donut.  A healthy donut is only a few mouse clicks away. Today you can only buy them online at their website, but soon they will be opening franchised stores near you (one is in the works in Beverly Hills).  Go to www.holeydonuts.net and mention Dr Fitness when you give them your email address and order and you get a FREE dozen donuts.

On tonight's show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about getting in shape while on holiday from Anja one of the founders of Escape to Shape.  Escape to Shape offers vacations combining comfort, culture and fitness at exotic locations around the world. Not only will you enjoy luxurious accommodations, delicious food and the latest fitness class you'll also sample some of the best spa amenities available. Anja says that her vacations are perfect for singles as well as couples. Find out where they are headed next, I'll give you a hint...think The Soprano's. For more information about Escape to Shape check out their website www.escapetoshape.com

Tonight we had on two of the Internet's biggest stars John Biggs from CrunchGear who shared with us the fitness gadgets he finds from his travels from around the world. He just came back from Japan where he saw the first personal trainer/cell phone. This device is part pedometer, part heart rate monitor, part phone. the only thing it doesn't do is wipe the sweat off your forehead. John also talked about lots of other cool gadgets and fitness gear but you'll have to listen to get the skinny. For more information check out John's blogs  www.crunchgear.com and www.runninggearreview.com

After John we were so lucky to have Tiffany Davis from Daily Candy in the studio with us. Tiffany is one of our favorite guests and she talked all about fun ways to build a healthy kitchen. As you know she and her staff are always researching the latest and the greatest next cool thing. First Tiffany talked about these super cool flavor sheets you put right on top of your favorite food as you cook it. She also mentioned something about the return of the Snoopy Sno Cone Maker and some other equally wild stuff.  For more information about The Daily Candy please go to their website www.dailycandy.com and be one of the 3 gazillion other subscribers to get their daily email newsletter.

And that wasn't it, as you know the Fat Guy is always researching quality, kind of healthy, delicious snacks. And he found another one. PopChips. PopChips are kind of healthy chips. These are never fried, never baked, all natural chips. Since these amazing bites of crunchy goodness are popped instead of fried they can fit more fo them in the bag for the same calories. For example, an old school chip company might fit  10 chips in a 100ish calorie  bag with PopChips you'll get twice that for about the same calories. That's right more crunches per calorie. the Fat Guy loved the BBQ and Dr Fitness loved the Wasabi. Try them for yourselves. Go to there website for all the locations you can find them or to order them online. www.PopChips.com

Dr. Fitness was back with his tips on how to adjust your workout and attitude to the changing weather. He said 1-bring your workouts indoors; 2-chnage up the workouts...if you were biking and running now try yoga or stretching classes 3- change your wardrobe to accommodate the changing weather...remember no white after Labor Day. He had more great fitness tips but you'll have to listen to get them.

Due to Technical Difficulties (actually the Fat Guy started using Alli and we couldn't get him out of the bathroom) we are replaying one of our most popular shows from October of 2006. Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy are very sorry and promise to be back next week with a new show featuring more great weight loss and fitness experts.

On tonight's show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about the hottest diet out there...The Shangri-La Diet by Seth Roberts. Stephen Dubner, author of Freakonomics said that this is "A weight-loss theory that just might benefit a few million people." Check out all the Freakonomic spin on The Shangri-La Diet at http://www.freakonomics.com/times0911.php The Fat Guy is going to try this diet as long as he can. So far he has drank one bottle of sugar water and is feeling full. According to Seth you should either drink some olive oil or sugar water a couple of times each day in between meals. This will lower your caloric set point, which will help you eat less calories each day which will help you lose weight. Sounds pretty easy, Check out The Shangri-La Diet website to get tips and great information from the online forum of active dieters as www.shangriladiet.com

The Doctor also shared his tips on how to make exercise a top 3 non-negotiable priority. Number 1, when you are exercising you are being a good role model for your family - teaching your kids that exercise is an important part of each day. Number 2, schedule things around exercise - don't use your work out time as time that is flexible to eliminate or move around. And number 3, you will have to listen to the show to find out that one and all the rest of these great exercise tips.

Another highlight of this show was the Fat guy giving his how to peel a pomegranate tip. the Fat Guy has mastered the intricate technique you need to effectively peel this wonderful fruit. So search the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy blog to see how it's done.

On tonight's show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about some of the hottest exercise classes that are sweeping the gyms from Social Diva Lexi Tabback.

We also had John Biggs on from CrunchGear and RunningGearReview sharing his take on the latest fitness gadgets.  Before you buy any gadget I strongly suggest you check out both of these websites. On this show John told us all about: wireless headsets, an ipod pedometer combo, a stereo bluetooth headphone thingy, a waterproof mp3 player case and so much more. His blogs are must reads for gadget lovers. Check them out at www.crunchgear.com and www.runninggearreview.com

And what a special treat it was to have the return of Nicci Micco and Eating Well magazine. If you haven't already, check this magazine out offline and online. You will not find a better photographed, more intelligent food magazine. Tonight Nicci told us all about milk. She talked about cow snd goat milk, soy milk, almond milk , hemp milk, organic milk. She even explained to the Fat Guy that it is truly impossible to milk a cat. they have a lab where they test things so that must be true. You can listen to the show and learn all about milk or check out the article in the latest issue of Eating Well magazine. Also go to their website and subscribe to their free email newsletters they are awesome www.eatingwell.com

But that's not all, this show also had on Charles Staley the author of Muscle Logic and other great books. He has appeared on the TODAY show as well as The CBS Early Show and shared his counter-intuitive approach to weight training and fitness. Charles told the fat guy to invert his reps when he strength trains for better results. Dr Fitness had to tell Charles that the Fat Guy doesn't get into the gym much. Charles recommends that instead of 3 sets of 10 you do 10 sets of 3 in the same amount of time. Less reps more sets. The Fat Guy calls this "The Joy of Sets" To learn more check out Charles website www.staleytraining.com and www.charlesstaley.com

And the Fat Guy wants to give a big thanks to RedGrrl who emailed him and said nice things. Believe it or not, the Fat Guy does not get a lot of fan mail. So thank you RedGrrl for taking the time to email him. And yes hot mom, Jennifer Nicole Lee is "that peppy." By the way, this weekend is JNL's  bikini bootcamp in South Beach. Good luck to her with that.

Since Dr Fitness was back he came up with crazy segment about how colors affect your health. He says red gives you energy, green is calming and more stuff like that. but the real reason to listen to this segment is to hear him try and pronounce turquoise. Too funny.

On tonight's show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about  menopause and other women things that made the Fat Guy very uncomfortable from TS Wiley the author of "Sex, Lies and Menopause" and "Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival."  TS also developed The Wiley Protocol the only HRT that has been developed under the scrutiny of a practicing Oncologist. Her revolutionary discovery is the fact that it's the rhythm that matters in the replacement of hormones. TS developed this protocol when she asked the question "if hormone replacement was made of real bio-identical hormones and dosed to mimic the ups and downs of the hormone blood levels in a normal menstrual cycle of a 20 year-old woman, would all the symptoms and disease states of aging decline? Well you'll have to listen to the show to hear her answer. She also revealed one of the first symptoms of menopause.

Before I get into the show notes I'd like to give a very special shout out to Bertha from Georgia she is this week's winner of a great exercise DVD.

Either way you can win!

Now on with the show...

On tonight's show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about an innovative copyrighted series of movements that will help you lose inches without weights, equipment or jumping called T-Tapp. T-Tapp was developed by the off the charts with energy Teresa Tapp. She told us how she developed her amazing techniques while working with top models in Europe. I'm talking Claudia Schiffer and others. Remember models really don't care what they weigh as much as how they fit into their clothes. So Teresa's T-Tapp is very comprehensive in delivering fat loss, weight loss and inch loss as well as increasing your overall heath, energy and fitness. You don't have to be superfit to do her technique in fact she had Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy doing some of the exercises on the air. She was talking us through it and the Fat Guy almost did it. I wish we had a webcam so you could have seen it. Teresa has a book called "Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes as well as dvds and an information packed website. Please go to her website www.t-tapp.com and you will find all her stuff plus: contests, a ton of testimonials, amazing before and after pictures and a directory of certified T-Tapp trainers and a whole bunch more.

And you listeners were lucky enough to hear the brilliant Dr Judith Beck , author of "The Beck Diet Solution" which is rocketing up the bestseller lists. Dr Beck has been appearing everywhere in fact when I got home from the show I opened my Health magazine and there she was in there . Well Dr Beck is an authority in cognitive therapy and she uses those techniques to help people lose weight. She doesn't care as much about which diet you are using as long as you eat less calories she cares more about how you are going about the weight loss process. It is here where she is very helpful. Some of the weight loss tips she gave our listeners were: pre-plan your eating each day; only eat sitting down, remind yourself that hunger is never an emergency. She had many more tips but you'll have to listen to the show with a pencil and paper to get them all. Go to her website www.beckdietsolution.com for great downloads you can use today, information on her book "The Beck Diet Solution" and her new workbook that is coming out soon as well as info on Dr Judith Beck herself, there's also a blog. It's worth your time. Dr Fitness was blown away by how smart she was and how good and helpful her info was...so check it out.

And what would Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy show be without some candy...we love our Daily Candy and we were lucky enough to have Tiffany Davis from The Daily Candy in our studio with us this evening. Tiffany leads a life that everyone should be jealous of...I know I am. It is her job to discover the hippest places, the finest restaurants and the coolest clubs. It's not easy being her. Tonight Tiffany shared some places you could go in Atlanta o get an unconventional workout. We talked about kickball leagues, we talked about rock climbing centers we even talked about pole dancing and stiletto heel workouts. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of great info.

Number 2, improper technique, pay close attention to your form when you are strength training. this will give you better results, faster and help you avoid getting hurt. And Number 3, mix things up, a lot of people do the same routine over and over for weeks at a time - variety is the spice of life - your body gets used to the same routine so you have to challenge it differently in order to get good results. Dr Fitness had a few more tips and he gave lots more detail in these tips but you'll have to listen to get them.

Gary Marino is on a mission to help fight obesity. He has gone from being a 397 pound hopeless food addict to a nearly svelte 240 pound healthy activist for change. Gary went on a Million Calorie March down the Eastern Seaboard in an effort to bring attention to the obesity crisis that is gripping America (especially our youth). He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for this cause and has helped inspire thousands of people to lose weight. Gary's book "Big & Tall Chronicles: Misadventures of a Lifelong Food Addict" tells his uplifting story in a humorous and poignant way. And soon you'll be able to watch the movie version of the book "Million Calorie March: The Movie" will be released later this year at the Boston Film Festival.

It has handles with a short rope and ball attached. You hold the handles and go through the motions of jumping rope. But there is no actual rope the Jump Snap has a speaker that makes the sound of the rope swinging and it keeps track of calories burned, how many repetitions you done and it even talks to you. How cool is that? Please go to Brad's website www.jumpsnap.com and check it out. How bad can it be Hilary Swank uses it and she's pretty hot, right?

Number 2, check out the equipment - make sure your gym has good solid equipment - you don't want the bike to be falling apart mid-ride. And Number 3, when you get on the bike make sure you have the seat at the right height - a good spin instructor will come over to make sure you are on right.

He believes that if you want to lose weight you must be strength training and eating right. Cardio does not really help you lose weight in fact he believes that it could hinder your weight loss. A man after the Fat Guy's heart. I don't know if Dr Fitness totally bought in to his theory but the Fat Guy is with Jim 100%. Jim is the Fitness contributor for Good Morning America and has worked with clients such as: Hugh Jackman, Diane Sawyer, Emma Thompson, Candace Bergen and more in his studios in New York and Chicago.

The Doctor had some his latest installment of ...Dr Fitness' "Things You Can Do Today" To Lose Weight Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' secrets about how to watch out for seemingly healthy choices that pack a lot of calories at some of your favorite restaurants. Number 1, Ruby Tuesday's Veggie Burger has over 900 calories, bet you didn't know that. Number 2, Chili's grilled salmon meal gives you 8 oz of salmon some rice and veggies for about 700 calories - probably more than you thought but it sounds good to the Fat Guy. And Number 3, beware the Macha Green Tea Blast at Jamba Juice...that 32 ounce smoothie will cost you well over 600 calories. For that amount of calories I'd much rather have the salmon from Chili's. He had a few more tips but you'll have to listen to get them.

We also got to spend time with Tanya Shorrock, Diet Nutritionist for Diet Classics. If you have listened to Dr Fitness for any length of time you know that he is dead set against any diet pill. So interviewing Tanya was pretty intense. She held her own with the Fat Guy and there were plenty of laughs. Her feelings are if you are going to spend money for diet pills at least Diet Classics pills are half the price of the name brand ones. Tanya is a nutritionist and a personal trainer in California and she herself doesn't use these pills and all she is trying to do is to give some good information to those people out there who are going to try diet pills anyway. She knows that the only way to lose weight is through eating right and exercising.

The Doctor had to bring some great workout tips because of the quality of the guests we had on and he did. So we had another installment of ...Dr Fitness' "Things You Can Do Today" To Lose Weight Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' secrets about how to make sure you are doing a well balanced workout when you strength train...Number 1, always do a full body workout. Don't do arms one day and legs another day. Number 2, only do 8-12 exercises when you workout at the gym. And Number 3, don't spend too much time on one body part, especially your core. Those one hour abs classes are a waste of time and you can get hurt.

Kathie was in Michigan doing something for the Real Savvy Moms TV show but she did give away some of our books which made the doctor happy. She'll be away for the next couple of weeks as she films her Real Savvy Moms show in hot spots around the world.

The Doctor had to bring some great eating tips because of the quality of the guests we had on and he did. So we had another installment of ...Dr Fitness' "Things You Can Do Today" To Lose Weight Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' secrets about how to eat healthy when you go out to eat...Number 1, always get half of your food to go. Do this before they even bring it out to the table. Restaurant portions are so large you can get half to go and not even notice it. Number 2, if you are going to get a dessert just get one and share that around the table. And Number 3, start eating the low calorie healthy foods first and slowly work your way to the meats and starches. Hopefully you'll get full before you get to those higher calorie foods and stop eating. There were a couple more tips from Dr. Fitness, but you'll have to listen to the podcast or go to his blog to get the rest.

Give me a break. Sarah shared some of the pillow fighter techniques and training tips. She said that fighters do get hurt and this is not like the kind of pillow fights you had when you were a kid.

When you use phrases like that your mind spends a lot of time and energy helping you get things you lost back. Marisa thinks that is partially the reason why diets don't work. In addition to being too restrictive they  have you focusing on the wrong things. Instead try thinking about how you have a super fast metabolism. You have to listen to the rest to get all her great tips. Marisa Peer also has a new book called "Think Yourself Thin Forever."

Eating slowly and chewing deliberately will help you feel full faster. And Number 3, listen to your body. Pay attention for cues that you are full. And when you feel full - stop eating.

On tonight's show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about an amazing weight loss story from Shauna. She lives in Scotland and she has been blogging as DietGirl for over 6 years now. She has transformed herself from weighing over 350 pounds to now less than 180 pounds. That's right she has lost well over 170 pounds and kept it off. You must check out her blog at www.dietgirl.org if you want to be inspired and see for yourself that it is possible to lose weight, even a lot of weight if you stick with it and keep plugging away day after day. We are so proud of what Shauna has accomplished. She is a wonderful role model for all of us who know that we should lose weight but struggle with the enormity of the task. She talked about the importance of persistence not perfection. And also said not to put your life on hold until you get skinny.  I think that Shauna is truly amazing and if you are a book publisher you should contact her and offer her a deal, because what she did and is still doing is worthy of being shared with everyone.

Dr. Fitness seemed to have read the news this week and he had some thoughts about mindless eating from a study by Cornell University and he was freaking out about the increase of obesity related surgeries that are happening. The Fat Guy thinks obesity surgeries are good for everyone but Dr Fitness has a problem with people taking the easy way out.

The tips segment is now called Dr Fitness' "Things You Can Do Today" to squeeze in activity into your busy schedule. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' tips...Number 1, always take the stairs. Number 2, set your watch to beep every hour...then get up and do some light exercises for 5 minutes. Do things like jog in place or squats. If you do this 6-8 times a day you have done a nice easy workout. And Number 3, always park far away, the walk will do you good. Remember exercise has a cumulative effect every little bit helps.

Then we spoke with Michelle Ufer-Herold the Spa Director at Chateau Elan, Atlanta's best kept spa and resort secret. 

Everyone knows that losing weight is difficult because it is so tough to stick with your exercise program for any length of time. That's where The Fitness Challenge comes in. This game is for any age or fitness level. Players compete against each other during their 8 week game. Exercise 3 times in a week and you get a bunch of stars. The player with the most stars wins a prize. And this is where the fun comes in, the loser has to pay up. That could mean washing the winner's car, cleaning their house or babysitting their kid. This game is a great way to keep compliant. Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy are about to go head to head and give it a try. Check out Vicki's website www.fitnesschallenge.com for more information and all the places you can get the game. Vicki lost 60 pounds on it!

When Dr Fitness took his girlfriend to the Chateau Elan for a romantic getaway he was blown away by the great food, the relaxing atmosphere and the superb service. He and his girlfriend left relaxed, recharged and refreshed. Michelle Ufer-Herold, the Spa Director shared some of the services and events that the doctor missed. For instance, each year you can stomp the grapes at the award winning vineyard that is on site. They also have a heated indoor pool, golf, tennis and horses for your pleasure. There is so much more to see and do, please check out their website www.chateauelan.com and see for yourself. They are having Valentine's Day specials so be sure to think of that if you want to be a star for your significant other this V-Day.

As you know Dr Fitness is a chiropractor and he helps people deal with pain on a regular basis. He came across the Painmaster patch and he can't stop talking about it. This small portable device uses micro current therapy which uses small pulsating currents of electricity that cannot be felt on the afflicted area in order to alleviate the pain. You just slap a couple of these patches on the area that hurts and forgot about it for a few hours. Then low and behold you will be amazed at the improvement in the pain. It is common for patients to have pain at an 8 level when they go to sleep then wake up and the pain is down to a 3 or 4 level when they use the patches. Only doctors can prescribe this therapy so be sure to ask your doctor about it. If they have any questions they and you can check out Fran's websites www.painmastercanada.com or www.painmasterpatch.com Fran said that if you want to try the device risk free have your physician send an email to chris at painmasterproducts dot com and (for a limited time) he will send a device to your doctor for you to try at no charge. This device does a great job at reducing inflammation and helping injured cells to heal.

Dr. Fitness also chimed in with his tips about what to do if you have a lot of weight to lose. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' tips...Number 1, set short term goals. Number 2, manage your expectations...you didn't gain the weight in 30 days and you definitely won't lose the weight in 30 days. And Number 3, don't have an all or nothing mentality. If you only have time to exercise for 10 minutes do that...a little bit each day is better than nothing. There was a lot more from Dr. Fitness, so you will have to listen to the show to find out all the rest of these great tips.

"The funniest weight loss and fitness radio show on the internet." Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy show.  

On tonight's show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about how to survive Halloween without putting on too many extra pounds. This is Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy's 2nd Annual Halloween Calorie Saving Tip Show. Last year we were lucky enough to have Lisa Lillien, the Hungry-Girl on our first Halloween Show and she is back again this year. This year we also pulled some strings and had on Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, the Nutrition Twins. And for the first time we had on one of New york's best personal trainers, who was recently featured in Oprah's O Magazine, Michael Gonzalez-Wallace.

We started off with Michael telling us about "The Workout That Does It All" this workout strengthens your mind as well as your muscles. It boosts your immune system while burning calorie after calorie. Micheal is a former professional basketball player from Spain who is now taking over New York City with this awesome exercise program. Check out his website www.sportstrengthtraining.com and see clips of his brand new DVDs. You can also learn all about the Neuromuscular Strength Training system he specifically developed to help his clients on the upper East Side of Manhattan. His Upper East Side Workout video was filmed in Central Park so you won't find a more picturesque looking exercise dvd. Micheal lost 9 pounds during the filming of these videos so imagine how much weight you'll lose if you use them a couple times a week. If you mention Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy when you order his exercise dvds Michael will knock off 15% of the purchase price.

Next we were joined by Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, the Nutrition Twins. They recently were kind of regulars on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy TV show. They can also be seen all the time on WABC news in New York giving all kinds of nutrition advice, recently they did an extended segment all about Halloween Candy.  And that's what we talked about tonight on our show. The Nutrition Twins are big fans of Tootsie pops and other lollipops for treats. They also love Adora Calcium Supplements, which can be found at www.AdoraCalcium.com. For some reason, we also talked about tips to help you start gaining weight. Probably because Nicole Richie is in the news struggling with gaining weight. Yeah, her and 3 other people out there.

Please, check out Tammy and Lyssie's website www.NutritionTwins.com It is filled with lots of great information about losing weight and healthy eating. They will answer your nutrition questions and send you great recipes when you subscribe to their newsletter.  You can also get their wonderful book "Fire Up your Metabolism: 9 Proven Principles for Burning Fat and Losing Weight Forever."

Then last, but certainly not least we had on Lisa Lillien, The Hungry-Girl herself. She has without a doubt the Number 1 email newsletter for hungry girls and hungry boys. Go to www.Hungry-Girl.com check it out and subscribe. It is my wife's favorite newsletter and she can't wait to get it each morning. We use more recipes and calorie saving techniques from Hungry-Girl than any other source. 

Lisa talked about her mad scientist laboratory, I mean kitchen, where she mixes and matches low fat and low calorie ingredients to come up with her very own tasty concoctions. Her tips for this Halloween are more candy corn and peeps and less Snickers and Reese's. She also mentioned her tip for using Fiber One as a bread crumb substitute, but you'll have to listen to the show to see how to do that. 

Dr Fitness also shared his tips on how to deal with the curve balls life thows you to knock you off your exercise program. Here are Dr. Fitness' tips...Number 1, start today, do not put off exercising until Next week or New Years. Number 2, Get involved in a team activity. And Number 3, get a partner to watch your back. You need support, everyone does. You will have to listen to the show to find out all the rest of Dr Fitness' great exercise tips.

The Fat Guy gave his Sarah Reinersten on the Amazing Race 10 on CBS update. Sadly she and Peter were eliminated. They had finished first the week before, but kept bickering, they got lost and finished well behind the rest of the other teams. She is the triathlete with the fake leg. So this marks the end of the Amazing Race updates. Check out the Amazing Race website here http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race10/ and Sarah's website here www.iamsarah.org

Another highlight of this show was the Fat Guy and Dr Fitness arguing over the basketball coaching merits of Red Auerbach.
