If you see these concussion symptoms then get medical attention.

It’s weird – Dr Fitness doesn’t eat shrimp and the Fat Guy hates curry yet Dr Fitness comes up with a curry shrimp recipe that neither one of us would eat. It’s a fast and easy recipe so if you’re in a hurry you may like it. You know that you can swap any other protein for the shrimp – but here goes – you need red curry paste, coconut milk, bell peppers, mushrooms and basil. Saute that stuff up then throw in your cooked shrimp (or any other protein). Serve over brown rice.
Author Dr Melanie Rotenberg explained to us how having fun and laughing helps keep you compliant so you can 
lose weight and keep it off. She said her husband challenged her to get up on stage and try stand up comedy and she did and she loved it.
It’s hard to imagine her being 50 pounds heavier – but she was and that weight gain and subsequent weight loss put her on the path to write this book in order to help people lose weight and keep it off forever.
She says that they key learning is that laughter is the key to weight loss: increasing joy, fun and pleasure in eating and activity decreases stress and negative emotions and results in permanent thinness. She believes that the happier you are then the thinner you can be.

In order to eat more salmon and get all those omega 3 fatty acids that Dr Fitness loves so much we try and give you lots of ways to prepare salmon. This salmon with almonds recipe is pretty easy. Always buy fresh skinless and boneless salmon fillets. In a pan with a little butter cook your salmon. Remember – one flip on each side. Put the salmon aside. Now saute up some green beans and almonds. Spoon that concoction on top of the salmon and serve.
A hobby of Dr Fitness is to debunk the myths about training your abs. For some reason gyms don’t have special bicep or lat classes. But I guarantee that you can walk into any gym in the country and you will find an ab workout class.
