How to Raise A Healthy Teen

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to raise a healthy teen. With the number of overweight and obese teenagers skyrocketing it is critical that parents control what they can control in regards to their teen. While it is becoming increasingly difficult to monitor your teens eating while they are out of your home – you can control what food is inside your house. Get rid of the unhealthy snacks and bring in the fruits and vegetables. Try and make time to eat together as a family and when you do eat together prepare healthy meals. Involve your teen in the meal preparation as well. This way you can show him/her what a portion size looks like and how to make healthful food substitutions. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips. Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy’s Wellness Minutes improve your health in 3 minutes a day or less. iTunes Follow me on Twitter @FatGuy

Perfect Portions Every Time with Heather Harvey’s Measure Up Bowl.

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Heather Harvey creator of the Measure Up Bowl. Heather shared her story about how she created this innovative weight loss product. She had gained some weight during her pregnancy that she was having trouble getting rid of. So a nutrition coach suggested she should measure and weight the foods that she ate. So Heather figured out a clever way to measure foods you put into bowls. And by the way, she lost about 80 pounds. The Measure Up bowl is one of those product that once you see it you think, why didn’t I think of that – it is so obvious. The Measure up Bowl has subtle lines telling you how much you are putting into each bowl in quarter and half cup increments. You will not find a better product to control your portion sizes. Especially with cereal. Heather did a great job with the design and quality. These bowls are dishwasher and microwave safe. And Heather is trying to get them into a retail setting like Bed Bath and Beyond or Macy’s. So if you have any contacts with buyers there please let Heather know. Remember portion control is connected to weight control. Check out her bowls at www.measureupbowl.com
