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, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about all the weight loss and health benefits of jumping rope from Jump Snap inventor and Brad LaTour. If you want all the benefits of jumping rope but are too uncoordinated to do it properly (like the Fat Guy) you have to check this product out. Jump Snap is a ropeless jump rope. It has handles with a short rope and ball attached. You hold the handles and go through the motions of jumping rope. But there is no actual rope the Jump Snap has a speaker that makes the sound of the rope swinging and it keeps track of calories burned, how many repetitions you done and it even talks to you. How cool is that? Please go to Brad’s website www.jumpsnap.com and check it out. How bad can it be Hilary Swank uses it and she’s pretty hot, right?

We also had on Raymond Francis author of “Never Be Sick Again” and his brand new book “Never Be Fat Again”. Raymond had a spirited discussion about the steps needed to lose weight and keep it off permanently. He was very passionate and almost convinced the Fat Guy that he should lay off processed food. Dr Fitness loved his message and strongly suggested checking out his books. Raymond also does a lot of work trying to help children and the alarming childhood obesity and health crisis in this country. Please go to Raymond’s website www.beyondhealth.com  for great information including a couple of real powerful free reports called “The Roadmap to Ultimate Health” and “The Roadmap to Supplements” And for more information about his non-profit group that helps children learn the basics of good health please go to www.healtheamerica.org

The Doctor had some fitness tips in his latest installment of …Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Get Ready For Your First Spinning Class Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ secrets about the things you should do to see if spinning is for you. Number 1, check out the spinning class before you start - make sure you like the instructor - in group exercise classes the instructor is critical. Number 2, check out the equipment - make sure your gym has good solid equipment - you don’t want the bike to be falling apart mid-ride. And Number 3, when you get on the bike make sure you have the seat at the right height - a good spin instructor will come over to make sure you are on right. He had a few more tips but since I’ve never been anywhere near a spinning class I kind of lost interest but you’ll have to listen to get them.

Kathie Larkin was in the house and she was fired up about landing a big part in a movie that is being filmed here in Atlanta. She told us all about it. You know Kathie as the host of Real Savvy Moms.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for moms that is available on most Public Broadcasting Stations around the US and online.

This week GlaxoSmithKline will release Alli, the first FDA-approved diet drug cleared for over-the-counter sale. The company is expected to spend $150 million on marketing the drug in its first year. Television and magazine ads are already running. E-tailers Amazon.com and Drugstore.com report the drug, which has been pre-sold, already is a top seller - at a cost of $50 - $60 per month.

Here’s the catch people…THE SIDE EFFECTS, which can include oily discharge, diarrhea and uncontrollable bowel movements significant enough for the company to recommend carrying an extra pair of pants until users have acclimated to the drug. Huh? The drug company is recommending an extra set of trouser? How bout throwing a couple of pair with the drug!!!! I think this is insane!!! The side effects alone can force users to eat less. Alli blocks enzymes that digest fat, preventing the body from absorbing about a quarter of the fat eaten. Because Alli can interfere with vitamin absorption, it can affect how medications act in the body, and users are advised to take a multivitamin supplement. Now that’s a relief, a drug company telling us to use a Multi! The drug is not recommended for children younger than 18, people with kidney disease, patients on blood-thinners and certain other medications, and pregnant or breast-feeding women. If you want more information about this story click on this link from MSNBC!

Dr. Fitness Gives it a big Thumbs Down and knowing my buddy The Fat Guy, he’s probably already at Walgreens buying all the “Alli.”

The stars came out on Dr. Fitness and The Fat this week!!!We had Fitness Expert Jim Karas, author of “The Cardio Free Diet,” Susi May, Editor of the fabulous blog site www.Fitsugar.com, Choreographer to the stars like J.Lo and Madonna, Jamie King, and .Lisa Newton, founder of the weightloss site www.weight1minute.com

On tonight’s show, Doctor Fitness and the Fat Guy get the skinny about how a dancer from Madison,Wisconsin transforms himself into one of the hottest dancers/choreographers in the world. Jamie King, the creator of the “Rock Your Body with Jamie King” dvd and book shares his story of growing up in Wisconsin, struggling as a background dancer, meeting his mentor Prince then being plucked out of the American Music Awards by Madonna. Today Jamie is on top of the world with his sponsorship by Nike, his work with greats like Shakira, Madonna, and just about everyone else as well as his brand new exercise dvd Rock Your World and the book that tells his story. He has got a great story and his dvd will get you moving that is for sure. Check out Jamie’s website www.jamiekingofficial.com or Nike’s dance fitness site www.nikewomen.com or www.rockyourbodyprogram.com

We also got to spend time with Jim Karas, the author of “The Cardio Free Diet” His book shows you dispels the myth that more time running on the treadmill is the key to losing weight. He’s got a great web site with great information and a great blog that he writes in daily. He believes that if you want to lose weight you must be strength training and eating right. Jim was very clear about the benefits of strength training for losing weight and he was also very clear on if you are training for a sport like tennis or basketball or soccer, cardiovascular exercise is very important. Jim is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Business Plan for the Body and Flip The Switch. He is the Fitness Contributor on ABC’s Good Morning America (he helped co-host Diane Sawyer lose 25 pounds) in addition to being the host of Couch Potatoes on ABC News Now.

The Doctor had some his latest installment of …Dr Fitness’ “Things You Can Do Today” To Lose Weight Tomorrow. Here are a few of Dr. Fitness’ secrets about how to watch out for seemingly healthy choices that pack a lot of calories at some of your favorite restaurants. Number 1, Ruby Tuesday’s Veggie Burger has over 900 calories, bet you didn’t know that. Number 2, Chili’s grilled salmon meal gives you 8 oz of salmon some rice and veggies for about 700 calories - probably more than you thought but it sounds good to the Fat Guy. And Number 3, beware the Macha Green Tea Blast at Jamba Juice…that 32 ounce smoothie will cost you well over 600 calories. For that amount of calories I’d much rather have the salmon from Chili’s. He had a few more tips but you’ll have to listen to get them.

Kathie finally came back to the studio and she promised that she would be around more often. She was in Cancun and New York filming the Real Savvy Moms TV show.  Real Savvy Moms is a great show for moms that is available on most Public Broadcasting Stations around the US and online.

Kathie was still away doing something for the Real Savvy Moms TV show.  If she doesn’t come back soon Dr Fitness is going to send out a search party to find her. Remember she is one of the top feet and legs model’s out there… she is so hot she got to be a body double for Alyssa Milano a few weeks ago. Be sure to check out Kathie’s website www.getkathie.com. Also check her out on www.RealSavvyMoms.com.

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!!!

Dr. Fitness and The Fat Guy are now on Thurday nights at 7 PM and this past Thursday was a ton of fun!!!Our new engineer, Kavita, joined us and we had lots of laughs. The Fat Guy Was in rare form and had me laughing till my sides hurt!!! If you want to get the skinny on sun block and the abc’s of skin protection, you must listen to the show.

On this week’s show, Dr Gerald Musante joined us and he is the founder of 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. It is a wonderful read and definitely makes it on the Dr. Fitness and The Fat Guy “Must Read” List. 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

Wade Meredith, the brains behind www.Healthbolt.net, a fun and informative blog devoted to science and health, also chatted with us. 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!”

Finally, the very attractive, Lisa Cohen, 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. I thought she meant a “Lap Dance.”
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.

Don’t forget about this weeks show when we have Fred Hahn, co-author the book “The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution, Former Playmate and Current Super-Hottie, Carrie Stevens who talks about losing 70 pounds with “Diet Classics,” and the always fantastic Jennifer Nicole Lee to talk about Bikini Booty Camp!!!!

Remember, Tomorrow’s another day so keep fighting!!!!

I had a great holiday weekend and I am happy to be back to do another great show!! I was down in Miami visiting my fiance’s family. It’s been a while since I visited the great beaches of Florida and there is nothing like those red flags and strong riptides to keep you on your “A” game especially with little kids. So I didn’t get eaten by sharks but I did get to see a gator while on my morning run. The guy who stopped me along the way to show me of his discovery said it was 6 feet long. I just responded that they are very fast going forward but not known for there change of direction or abilities to go backward. I did ,however, get attacked by two birds along the way on another run. I thought I was making this up in my head until these two birds kept doing “fly bys” inches from my hea
