Spinach Orzo Pasta Recipe

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite spinach orzo pasta recipe. Orzo is a kind of pasta that looks like a big single piece of rice. I like the whole wheat orzo the best. It kind of reminds me of the roni in rice-a-roni. Boil the orzo until almost done then pull it out of the water and put in a colander to cool. The dressing is a balsamic vinegar and olive oil combo. Now add some spinach, olives, onions. Lose the cheese to save some calories. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Edamame Rice Pilaf Recipe

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite edamame rice pilaf recipe. Whenever you are making rice (and we recommend brown rice instead of white rice) add some veggies to eat to make it a pilaf – kind of like rice-a-roni but healthier. So for this recipe add tomatoes, onions, chicken broth, a little olive oil, and a bag of frozen unshelled edamame beans. Edamame beans are high in fiber and deliver lots of protein. You can find edamames (both shelled and unshelled) at Trader Joes and other grocery stores that have healthy food options. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Tips on How to Eat Less

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share their favorite tips on how to eat less. Did you know that some supermodels give themselves food poisoning in order to stay slim? You shouldn’t go to that extreme when you have us to help you lose weight and stay in shape. Try inhaling the smell of banana, green apple or vanilla extract when you are hungry to see if that helps you avoid binging. Eating a 1/2 grapefruit before meals also has been shown to help you eat less. Eating a plain baked potato is filling and doesn’t have a lot of calories – so add that to some meals. And when you feel hungry drink a big glass of water – a lot of times we confuse thirst with hunger – especially when it is hot and you might be dehydrated. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Understanding Healthcare Terms

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some common healthcare terms. Health care plans are complicated by design. So we though we’d explain some of the basic terms. Deductible is what you have to pay before the insurance kicks in. Co-pay is the fixed amount you pay to see your doctor or get any medication. Co-insurance is the percentage of the cost of care that you are responsible for. Usually the higher your co-pay and deductible that you are willing to pay will lower your monthly insurance cost. But who knows what will happen when Obamacare kicks in. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
