Weight Loss Secrets From Structure House. HealthBolt Is Our Blog Of The Week. And A Bariatric Surgery Survivor Tells All.

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio." Please click on the POD button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast.  

On tonight's show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about the Dr Gerald Musante's World Renowned Weight Loss Clinic and book called "Structure House" The Structure House Weight Loss Plan is rocketing up the best seller lists because it is less a diet and more about strategies and tools you can use to permanently change your poor eating behaviors and your relationship with food. Dr Musante spent a lot of time patiently explaining to the fat guy tips and techniques he could use to lose weight.  A great weight loss tip from Dr Musante was to eat only three meals a day. During the interview everyone agreed that the best chance for the fat guy to lose weight and keep it off would be through an intervention at the Structure House in Durham, North Carolina. For more information on this great, logical and easy to implement weight loss plan please check out Dr Gerald Musante's website www.structurehouse.com

We also got to spend time with Wade Meredith, the brains behind Healthbolt. Healthbolt is a fun and informative blog about all things health related. Wade is not a real doctor like Dr Fitness but he is a pretty sharp guy with a passion for health. His blog delves into topics like "What happens to your body if you drink a Coke right now" or "If you stop smoking right now" He also has  a bunch of health tips that are so easy the fat guy could do most of them. Please go to his blog at www.healthbolt.net for all the tips, information and more. It's a great read and we're happy to make Healthbolt our blog of the Week!

Lisa Cohen also joined us to share her experience with bariatric surgery. Now we have had bariatric surgeons on the show before but Lisa was the first bariatric survivor to join us. She has lost 75 pounds and kept it off for almost 2 years now. The surgery worked great for her and she has not had any setbacks. If you are considering bariatric surgery - Lisa did the lap band you have to listen to hear all about her experience. This surgery set her back a lot of money that she had to pay for out of pocket - but she does share a way that her mother got the surgery done for almost nothing. And this did not require a trip to a medical clinic in a third world country.  Also go to the Dr Fitness' blog to see unbelievable before and after pictures of Lisa.

The Doctor had to bring some great health tips on ways to protect yourself from the sun this summer. So we had a new installment of ...Dr Fitness' "Things You Can Do Today" To Not Get Sunburned Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness' secrets about how to avoid a bad sunburn...Number 1, use lots of sunscreen a minimum of spf 30. Put on more than you think you need and reapply if you go in the water. Number 2, if you have fair skin wear a big brimmed hat and sunglasses. And Number 3, stay out of the sun during peak times of 10am and 2pm. He had a few more tips but you'll have to listen to get them.

Remember we are now on Michigan radio station WKNW this day. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each day. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. We're working on ways to make those tips available to all our listeners. If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too.

Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My nine year kid Max made his radio debut in his new show "Kid Power Radio." This is a great show for your kids. It is kind of like a kids version of David Spade's "Showbiz Show" on Comedy Central or Entertainment Tonight. Max recaps the week in entertainment and gives his take and review of what he liked and didn't like on TV, at the movies, video games, in books and in music and even restaurant reviews. Please go to his site and download the show for your kid. And if your kid sends Max an email he'll read it on the air next week. The show can be found at www.kidpowerradio.com and you can email Max at RadioStarMax at Yahoo.com. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
