Wendy Beckers Lost A Lot of Weight And Now Yells At Her Fat

Wendy Beckers Lost A Lot of Weight And Now Yells At Her Fat

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Wendy Beckers with Yell At Your Fat.

Her story is very inspirational She said the reason why she decided she needed to lose weight started at a football game. She was 328 pounds, and had decided to take her father to an NFL game in Tempe. While they were in line to get in, a man started choking on a hot dog. No one was doing anything to help this guy — so she ran over to him as fast as she could and proceeded to give him the heimlich. He was able to cough up the hot dog and she ended up saving him. It was a surreal experience, and afterwards, she realized how precious life is. And how silly it was to care so much for the life of a stranger, yet she didn’t care enough about her own life to do something about her weight. That night, from the hotel room in Tempe, she and her my husband called Jenny Craig. The next day, they started with the Jenny Craig Vegetarian plan, and lost a combined weight total of 231 pounds. Interesting development from losing weight: she and her husband appeared in a national commercial for Jenny Craig– starring them with Valerie Bertinelli!

Count Calories. Lose Weight?

Count Calories. Lose Weight?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how counting calories can help you lose weight. Studies say that their is a better chance for you to lose weight if you keep track of the amount of food (calories) you consume. By writing down what and when you are eating you have a greater awareness of how much and why you eat. Write things down as you eat and drink them rather than waiting until the end of the day and trying to remember – because invariably you will forget that handful of candy at your friends desk or that bite of hamburger your kid didn’t finish. And beware – restaurant calories are much higher for the same foods as home cooked meals because restaurants love to use a lot of butter in their dishes which adds lots of extra calories that you wouldn’t have at home. Remember, if you bite it – you write it. (Same with drinking – but I don’t have a rhyme for that.) Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Essential Weight Loss Tips

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of our most essential tips to help you lose weight. Before you can begin to change any behaviors it is important to assess exactly where you stand in the present. So use a diary or journal and write down what and when and why you eat and exercise. Once you see where you are and decide you truly want to change then you are ready to tackle one behavioral change. Start slowly. A first change might be to drink less sweetened beverages each day – with the objective to cut them all out over time because you don’t want to be drinking your calories. Another change might be to add some exercise or fitness into your daily routine. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
