On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get their chocolate fix without any of the guilt. Sarah Endline founder of SweetRiot grew up in a small farming community and dreamed of one day owning her own mission based business. Sarah discovered the cacao bean on one of her travels and decided to build a business around this delicious fruit/bean. She partnered with a Latin American company in order to have a direct connection with the cacao countries that grow the beans and where the farmers create their livelihoods.  Sarah is part of the Equitrade movement which takes free trade to a whole new level. SweetRiot sells dark chocolate covered cacao beans in adorably artistic and reusable tin canisters. These low sugar, anti-oxidant rich nibs are perfect for those chocolate cravings. Celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker and Eva Longoria have been spotted with Sweet Riot’s tins knocking back a handful of nibs. You can find these addicting snacks at Whole Foods and other gourmet food shops and at just 140 calories a tin why not go for it. To learn more please go to Sarah’s website www.sweetriot.com

In today’s Wellness Minute we give you some of the most inexpensive healthy food choices at the grocery store. So if you are on a budget, and who isn’t these days pay attention.  For more fiber try eating more oats. The Fat Guy eats Trader Joe’s steelcut oatmeal which costs about $.75 a serving. It comes frozen and you just microwave it for 3 mintes and you are ready to go. Eggs are an anti-oxidant and protein rich inexpensive option as well. And eggs are not just for breakfast. Kale and sweet potatos are vitamin packed veggies that are pretty inexpensive. And don’t forget the apples they are fiber rich, crunchy and delicious – try the honeycrisp apple they are hard to find but worth it. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute we share some more tips to survive eating out at more popular restaurants. Eating healthy at popular restaurants is really pretty easy. You just have to have the mindset that the chef at each restaurant is really your personal chef and have them make whatever you order in a more healthful way. Some people call me high maintenance when I order at a restaurant – no sauce, dressing on the side, hold the mayo, can you grill that instead of frying that, etc. At Olive Garden go with their minestrone soup and at Red Lobster try their jumbo shrimp garden salad – ask for the shrimp steamed not fried.
