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.

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.
