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

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Dr Gerard Musante from The Structure House in 
Durham NC. Dr Musante is a renowned clinical psychologist who founded Structure House in 1977 and understands firsthand the struggle faced by overweight people. He has devoted his life to developing and teaching the principles of behavior modification. Today his internationally respected weight control program has helped more than 30,000 people change their attitudes, perceptions and lifestyles with diet, exercise and education. He is also the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan. He shared some great weight loss tips and explained all that is happening on his new website. You can now go online and create a 28 day action plan so you can develop your own personal plan to lose weight. He also shared his thoughts on the Biggest Loser TV show and programs like that that encourage extreme diet and exercise. He feels on the plus side they inspire people who felt that it was impossible to lose large amounts of weight. But he feels a big negative about those shows are that they downplay the dangers of extreme dieting and exercise and that they are not a good way to keep weight off for the long run. Please check out Dr Musante’s Structure House at www.structurehouse.com
