Weight Loss Tips from Zone Diet Creator Dr Barry Sears From His New Book Toxic Fat

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Dr Barry Sears, creator of the Zone Diet. Dr Sears is the leading authority on the dietary control of hormonal response. His theory is that you have to keep your hormones in a zone that is not too high or too low. He believes that the food you eat has the biggest impact on your hormone levels and therefore your weight and your health. He says when your hormones are out of whack you become sicker, fatter and dumber. His solution is to get rid of all the vegetable oil in your pantry, eat less processed foods, eat less foods with Omega 6 fatty acids, eat more foods with Omega 3 fatty acids, eat smaller portions, eat more vegetables and have some cod liver oil everyday. He says your Grandmother was right – as you will notice that is the same advice she was giving you. He also gave a great tip on how to check out your fish oil supplement to make sure it is good. Here is Dr Barry Sear’s Fish Oil test – take a handful of fish oil supplements cut them open and dump the oil in a shot glass – then put the shot glass in the freezer. After a few hours check on the oil – if you can put a toothpick through the oil and it didn’t freeze then it is probably okay – if the oil is solid then it probably is not pure fish oil and you should look for another brand. Dr Sears talked about the new Anti-Inflammatory Diet and what he calls silent inflammation. He also has a new book out titled Toxic Fat.

Fitness Tips From LeBootCamp Creator Valerie Orsoni

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Valerie Orsoni, creator of Le BootCamp, Europe’s favorite online weight loss and fitness support website with over 600,000 members. Valerie shared details about the new Vampire Diet that she wrote about in the Huffington post – that is sweeping Hollywood. It seems those fad diet loving Hollywood folks are now eating something red at every meal. It seems like a subtle Twilight promotion, but this diet is very limiting – name some red foods: tomato, red pepper, red meat, cherries – see the list is pretty short. A better weight loss tip is to take small steps each day rather than looking for a miracle diet. Valerie says that every day just try an be healthy – that means move more and eat healthier. She also gave our listeners some of her favorite diet and exercise tips. To learn more about LeBootCamp go to their website www.lebootcamp.com and be sure to mention DRFITNESS when you join and you will get 50% off membership.

How The Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life she shares details about her inspirational story and offer health and weight loss tips to other who are struggling to lose weight and make major life changes.

Winning Man Pete Thomas Lost 185 Pounds on the Biggest Loser TV Show

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Pete Thomas from the Biggest Loser TV show. Pete did such a great job living this new healthy lifestyle that the morning after the competition ended he went out for a 90 minute run. And when he came back the other contestants asked him if he ever turns it off – and he said he doesn’t because an active lifestyle is now just part of his daily life. Pete walked away from the show $100,000 richer because he lost the most weight out of all the contestants that season. The amazing things about that weight loss success story is that he lost 123 of the 185 pounds while working out on his own. When he was voted off the ranch he knew that he had all of the tools to lose the weight on his own and sure enough he did. Pete also gave us a glimpse behind the scenes of the Biggest Loser TV show – he shared some stories about fitness trainer Jillian Michaels and he revealed that the contestants are put through a vigorous training regimen for weeks prior to filming the shows – we’re talking 4 hours of exercise 6 days a week for weeks so they can get in good enough shape to do the activities on the show. After going through this experience Pete feels that there has to be a different weight loss plan for people who are extremely overweight – he said that the weight has to come off fast in order to keep the obese person motivated so he has written a book titled Lose Big to help those people who are extremely overweight. To learn more about his amazing weight loss success story please go to his website www.winningman.com

Andrew Wood and the Mayo Clinic Say the Gruve Activity Monitoring Device is NEAT for Weight Loss

Andrew Wood and the Mayo Clinic Say the Gruve Activity Monitoring Device is NEAT for Weight Loss

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened with Andrew Wood with Muve. His company has created a device called The Gruve which is a positive feedback activity based wellness solution to monitor and increase your activity and help you lose weight. You wear the Gruve on your waistband of your pants and it records all the activity you are doing throughout the day. You then plug it into your computer and you can literally see a minute by minute graph of your daily activity. The Gruve is based upon the work of Dr James Levine’s non-exercise activity thermogenesis or NEAT. They created this device because one of the main differences between fat people and thin people is that thin people move more throughout the day than fat people do. And we are not talking about thin people exercising like crazy and running marathons they are just moving around more. Created with help from the Mayo Clinic the Gruve encourages and tracks all of your movement – in accordance with the NEAT method of exercise and weight loss management. It actually vibrates when you are sitting around too long in order to encourage you to get off your butt and move a round a little bit. During their research in creating the Gruve they discovered that Gruve users increased their activity behavior and that caused a drop in their blood pressure and blood lipid levels along with weight loss. To learn more about getting your Gruve on check out their website www.muve.me
