Radio Show Recap: Dr Fitness Reviews Consumer Reports Top Diets. Weight Loss Tips From Patrick House Winner of Biggest Loser Season 10

May 12, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

We opened the show with a heated debate whether the musician Drake was Jewish – he is. Then later we talked about important stuff like keynoting the FitBloggin 11 conference and other things we have going on. We ended on Dr Fitness giving his take on a recent Consumer Reports review of the Top 10 Diets (The Top 3 were Jenny Craig, Slimfast and Weight Watchers). But guess who funded the study that Consumer Reports relied on – Jenny Craig – and they came out on top – probably just a coincidence.

We then interviewed Biggest Loser Season 10 Winner Patrick House. He seemed like a great guy. He is doing amazing work in South Carolina with his Mindstream Academy which is helping overweight kids battle obesity. He also shared some behind the scenes of the Biggest Loser – he talked about how Bob and Jillian behaved when the cameras were turned off. He also mentioned that his wife lost 60 pounds when Patrick was off doing the show in order to support him better when he came home. He lost almost 200 pounds on the show and has recently run the Boston Marathon. His motivation for winning the show were to lose weight, be a better role model to his kids and he needed the money because he was unemployed.

Does Removing Your Tonsils Make You Fat?

May 12, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

There is a study that just came out that is trying to connect weight in kids to having their tonsils removed. The connection seems non-existent to us but you know these researchers have a lot of time on their hands. They have connected an increase in weight to kids who have had their tonsils removed that kids in their study who didn’t have their tonsils removed didn’t experience. Since only half a million kids get their tonsils removed each year – what explains the weight gain in the millions of other kids?

We think the childhood obesity epidemic is tied to lifestyle issues like children not moving enough and kids eating too much.

Thinking About Liposuction…You Must Read This

May 11, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Did you know that about 500,000 get liposuction each year. I know I thought that number was lower than I expected also. As everyone knows liposuction removes fat from one area of your body – your waist, your thighs, etc. What everyone doesn’t know about lipo, according to a recent study, is that the fat when it is removed from one area in your body comes back to a different area of your body after the procedure. You body defends the fat – it doesn’t want it to really go away – but it is okay with it moving to different location. So if you get liposuction on your love handles don’t be surprised a few months later if you start seeing fat appear on your upper back.

Is Your Belly Button Normal?

May 10, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Is your navel novel? Probably not. Do you have an innie or an outie? Most people have an innie. Do you clean your belly button when you shower? A nice rinse with warm water form time to time helps keep it clean. Is your belly button pierced? Remember, germs like to hang out in moist dark places so you have to be extra careful to keep it clean.

Sauteed Snow Peas Recipe

May 9, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Snow peas are pretty healthy and they are so easy to prepare you should be adding this vegetable to your weekly list of vegetables to eat. I bet you don’t even have that list – you should. In a pan with some olive oil saute some snow peas with lemon zest, your favorite spices, some chopped onion, parsley and some sesame seeds. It doesn’t get easier than that. Some people like their snow peas crunchy and some people like them a little softer. We don’t judge here – as long as you eat them all.

Sake Steamed Chicken Recipe

May 8, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Steaming chicken is new to me but Dr Fitness seems to like it.For this recipe you’ll need 3 1/2 pounds of chicken, some vinegar, sweet sherry, lemon juice, sake, ginger root, garlic, scallions, sesame seeds.

In a steamer throw in your chicken. Now when you fill your pot with water throw in your sake and steam that chicken for at least an hour – maybe as long as 90 minutes. Bring it to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer for the rest of the time. In a sauce pan throw in all the other ingredients to make a sauce. When it’s all done pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Natural Cure For Snoring

May 5, 2011 by drfitnessandthefatguy

Try this natural cure for snoring. Sleep on your side. This works especially well for thinner people. When you sleep on your back you are more likely to cause the breathing problem that causes snoring so make the move to sleeping on your side to see if this helps you snore less. It doesn’t matter which side you sleep on either – left or right side worked equally as well.
