On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our pal Dr Cory Kidd, inventor of Autom the most awesome robot 
and your personal weight loss coach who will help you lose weight. Since most people can only stay on a diet for less than a month Cory decided to do something about it. His robot has a 3-5 minute conversation with you each day to ask about your day – what exercise you did, what you ate, how you’re feeling, etc. Autom then shares her thoughts about what you did and gives you friendly advice and encouragement. All the research shows that when you add this kind of interaction then people will stay compliant with their weight loss program much longer than if they are doing it on their own. In fact most people who participated in the testing did not want to give the robot back. We have been following Autom’s rise since 2007 and she is getting ready for the big time. Cory is in Hong Kong right now putting the finishing touches on her. Check out her video demonstration at his website www.myautom.com
