We haven’t updated our SobeFit magazine Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Weight Loss Challenge in awhile because I think it’s over – we did not lose 50 pounds combined – we lost over 30 pounds combined which isn’t too shabby. Marta Monetenegro, the founder of SobeFit, is our coach will be coming on soon to recap. We are still trying to lose more weight so please send your tips and words of encouragement or sabotage to adam @ drfitnessandthefatguy.com or to @FatGuy on Twitter. And remember to check out SobeFit magazine at www.sobefitmagazine.com

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with a guy who wrote into our website complaining that we should go to diet jail for telling people about Holey Donuts – he also said we were mean to Gary Taubes. This critic has a major man crush on Gary and said we spent too much of the interview goofing on him rather than letting him share his low carb wisdom. He also says our show is a sham and we are the reason everyone is overweight. So you don’t want to miss his part.

The real show began with Rory Freedman, author of the NY Times Bestseller Skinny Bitch who came on to talk about Skinny Bastard. which is that kick in the butt men need to lose wight and get buff. Rory has a bunch of great advice for men who need to drop a few pounds. to learn more about this book please go to www.skinnybastard.net

Next up we had on Robert Davis, author of the Healthy Skeptic. Robert is an award winning health journalist. He shared some tips on how to understand who to believe when it comes to health and science claims. It’s like they said in All The President’s Men – follow the money – who is paying for the study. To learn more about Robert and his book please go to his website www.everwell.com

Next up we had on Thomas Madden, inventor of the Knife and Fork Lift. While all our listeners know Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy have been talking about weighted silverware since we started the show, Thomas actually went out and invented it. He is a doer and we are just dreamers. His mini barbell like fork and knife set will definitely slow down your eating, just like we have been saying for years. To learn more please go to his website www.knifeandforklift.com

We closed the show with Rob Luka, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with.

Quit Your Crying Eat More Onions

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why you should eat more onions. Sure if you don’t know how to chop an onion you’ll have tears running down your cheeks. But that is no excuse not to add onions to your diet. They have lots of health benefits like flavenoids which has been shown to help lower blood pressure, lower your risk of colon cancer and is an anti-bacterial. When picking out an onion avoid the ones that have sprouts coming out of them. And cooking them does lower the vitamin content a little bit. And don’t store them in the refrigerator either.

Gary Taubes Explains The Difference Between Good Calories, Bad Calories

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with award winning science journalist Gary Taubes, author of the controversial book Good Calories, Bad Calories. Fats, Carbs and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health. He believes that the fewer refined carbohydrates we eat, the leaner we will be because carbs increase insulin levels which causes obesity, increases your hunger and decreases your metabolic efficiency. Not only that but he says that refined carbohydrates, starches and sugars are the most likely dietary causes of Alzheimer’s, cancer and other diseases. He says exercise does not make us lose excess fat – it just makes us hungry. And obesity is the result of excess fat accumulation not overeating and not a sedentary lifestyle. So according to Gary eat all the protein you want, he says their is no upper limit on your protein consumption – just avoid the carbs and you’ll lose weight and also be healthier. Put down the broccoli and pick up the pork rinds! His mostly protein based eating plan is a favorite of Atkins and South Beach diet lovers like Jimmy Moore with Livin La Vida Low Carb www.livinlavidalowcarb.com . You can find Gary’s book on Amazon and in bookstores everywhere.

Dr Fitness’ Favorite Go To Weight Loss Tips

Dr Fitness’ Favorite Go To Weight Loss Tips

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite weight loss tips. You have to pre plan things if you are serious about losing weight. That means on the weekend cut up a bunch of veggies that you will throughout the week. It also means knowing what you are having for dinner so you know how much to eat for breakfast and lunch. Write things down – nothing will stop you from overeating if you have no idea how much you’ve already eaten that day. If you can look at your food journal and see that you’ve eaten half your calories by lunch time that means you better put the brakes on for dinner. Losing weight is math. If you don’t keep track of the calories you’re consuming you’ll never see the numbers on the scale get smaller. Get exercise in as much as you can – and make it vigorous. Strolls to the mailbox might be good when you are just starting out but after awhile you have to crank up the intensity. Don’t starve yourself – when you are famished bad things happen (like blowing your diet on one Ben and Jerry fest) – using healthy low cal snacks to take the edge off those crazy hunger pangs.
