On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Dr Gerard Musante from The Structure House in Durham NC. Dr Musante is a renowned clinical psychologist who founded Structure House in 1977 and understands firsthand the struggle faced by overweight people. He has devoted his life to developing and teaching the principles of behavior modification. Today his internationally respected weight control program has helped more than 30,000 people change their attitudes, perceptions and lifestyles with diet, exercise and education. He is also the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan. He shared some great weight loss tips and explained all that is happening on his new website. You can now go online and create a 28 day action plan so you can develop your own personal plan to lose weight. He also shared his thoughts on the Biggest Loser TV show and programs like that that encourage extreme diet and exercise. He feels on the plus side they inspire people who felt that it was impossible to lose large amounts of weight. But he feels a big negative about those shows are that they downplay the dangers of extreme dieting and exercise and that they are not a good way to keep weight off for the long run.
