On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to eat a heart healthier diet from our good friend Nicci Micco, Senior Editor with Eating Well magazine. After we spent a very long time discussing the Fat Guy’s increasingly high blood pressure Nicci talked about an important article in her magazine titled “10 Steps to Heart Health” She says that you can improve your heart health by Eating Well…that might have been a shameless plug for her magazine though. 

Did you know that in the United States, cardiovascular disease affects about 9 million adults, killing one every 37 seconds. More people die from heart related causes than AIDS, murder and suicide combined. But the good news—which Dr. Philip Ades, author of the new book EatingWell for a Healthy Heart has made it his mission to spread—is that heart-disease is mostly preventable. Research shows that up to 90 percent of heart disease can be prevented by changing one’s diet, exercising more, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking.

Lower your risk for heart disease by following these 10 steps.

1- Know your numbers…blood pressure, hdl, ldl, cholesterol, etc; 2-Calculate your risk; 3-Lose some weight…hear that Fat Guy; 4-eat less saturated fats; 5-lose the junk food…remember No Junk in 2008. You’ll have to listen to get the rest or go to the Nicci’s website for more information www.eatingwell.com. You can get Dr Ades’ book there as well.

We learn how all about the truth behind some of the most common fitness myths out there from one of Dr Fitness’ favorite strength training experts Matt Bryzcki.

Matt is the Assistant Director of Campus Recreation/Fitness at Princeton University and he has written some of the most important books about strength training and exercise in the industry.

Matt came on the show and tried to dispel some more fitness myths for the Fat Guy and the rest of our listeners. Is it okay to eat after a certain time at night? Matt tells us. And did you know their is a right way to use the StairMaster and a wrong way. Who knew? We found out that you burn less calories than the machine says if you are holding on to the rails. The Fat Guy would turn the treadmill on and sit down next to it to watch TV and think he was burning the calories the machine said was being burned. It does not work that way. You have to use the machine properly in order to get the results you want. You’ll have to listen to get the rest of his great exercise tips. Check out Matt’s books at any Barnes and Noble, on Amazon or straight from his publisher at www.cardinalpub.com

A popular speaker and admired life coach, Laura has published over 150 CDs and workbooks covering topics such as stress management, peak performance, public speaking, overcoming illness and much more.

Mrs. King is director and founder of Summit Dynamics, LCC and is a certified hypnotist and certified sport hypnotist.

Radio Show Recap: Busy People Learn How To Lose Weight On The Go With The Wall Street Diet. Frustrated Dieters Learn How To Hypnotize The Weight Off. Megan McCarthy Teaches Healthy Eating 101. And Learn How To StickK To Your Commitments Once and For All

The most entertaining weight loss and fitness podcast show on radio.” Please click on the PLAY button to listen to the latest Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show podcast broadcasting live each week from Atlanta, GA, USA. To download the show on iTunes please click on this link

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn how about the surprisingly simple weight loss plan for hardworking people who don’t have time to diet from Heather Bauer, RD, CDN, author of The Wall Street Diet and founder of www.Nu-Train.com. If your life is busy and chaotic then you should check this out.

Heather Bauer is a Registered Dietitian specializing in the interrelation between eating habits, metabolism, and lifestyle. Since 2001, she has offered private diet and nutrition counseling through her New York City-based nutrition practice, Nu-Train.

Ms. Bauer received her RD from the University of Wisconsin and started her career in the pre- and post-natal nutrition unit at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, and as a staff nutritionist at Equinox Fitness Clubs.

Ms. Bauer has appeared as a featured nutritionist in several health and beauty publications including Elle, Marie Claire, Gotham, Self, Seventeen, YM, TimeOut, New York Magazine, and Fitness Magazine. She has also appeared as a guest expert on the CBS Early Morning Show as well as FOX News.

Her brand new book THE WALL STREET DIET: The Surprisingly Simple Weight Loss Plan for Hardworking People Who Don’t Have Time to Diet (Hardcover) by Heather Bauer is available at her website www.wallstreetdiet.com.

Bauer, a dietician, directs her flexible plan at people who would never go for prepackaged meals or calorie counting. Her clientele are workaholics who grab meals on the go, do business over expense-account lunches and are frequently confronted by unhealthy treats in the conference room or at office parties. Bauer claims her approach makes losing weight a seamless part of the corporate lifestyle rather than an add-on project to an already full schedule.

First, readers are asked to decide if they are a Clean Plate Clubber or a Controlled Eater, as this will help determine the course of their diet in regards to snacking, purchasing food and meal portions. Next, they are allowed to choose a few non-negotiables, i.e., the things they feel they cannot live without.

Once these guidelines are intact, Bauer offers strategies for dealing with the food choices most working people confront daily (for ordering in with co-workers, take note of the healthy menu options beforehand, and don’t succumb to dishes like General Tso’s Chicken). Though Bauer’s diet consists of nothing earth-shattering (avoid flour and refined sugar, control portion sizes, etc.), the specificity of the situations and solutions presented should appeal to its target audience who are busy people.

Next we had on Laura King with www.Lauraking.net

Laura is frequently sought out by Olympians, leading edge CEO’s, professional athletes, prominent physicians, award-winning trainers and parents. She teaches individuals how to utilize their minds to make lasting changes in both their performance and lives.

In her recent book, The Power to Win, King explains how the use of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can easily help anyone conquer fear, build confidence and obtain unprecedented success. A popular speaker and admired life coach, Laura has published over 150 CDs and workbooks covering topics such as stress management, peak performance, public speaking, overcoming illness and much more.

Mrs. King is director and founder of Summit Dynamics, LCC and is a certified hypnotist and certified sport hypnotist. A student of human excellence and positive behavior modification for over 25 years, Laura was trained at the Omni Hypnosis Training Center and the Don Mottin Sports Hypnosis Training Center, and received her NLP training from Dr. William Horton. She also spent over two decades studying with her mentor, Dorothy Gates, Ph.D., internationally recognized authority on child and adult development.

She has an excellent tool to help you lose weight called the Complete Weight Loss / Be Fit for Life Series.

Long-term weight loss is not a matter of willpower, it’s about changing thought patterns that trigger behavior. Through self-hypnosis CDs, your subconscious mind puts you on autopilot to get and keep the body that is just right for you. You become focused on healthy eating, speeding up your metabolism, and developing a positive self-image.

Then we were lucky to have the most popular home chef in Atlanta Megan McCarthy with www.Healthyeating101.com in the studio with us. Megan is a former vegan and vegetarian and brings her raw foodist background into real life, incorporating highly nutritious food into a healthy eating lifestyle.

Megan took an interest in healthy eating when she was trying to lose weight after college. After trying every diet out there, she realized it was all about feeding the body nourishing and smart foods…simply called “Superfoods.” All-natural and given to us in their perfect form, she transforms Superfoods into everyday eating pleasure.

Megan has been in the restaurant business since she was 16. Some have included “Karyn’s Fresh Corner” raw foods restaurant and several “Lettuce Entertain You” restaurants in Chicago. She has taught healthy cooking classes for over 8 years. She teaches in both Chicago and Atlanta for Whole Foods Market, Cook’s Warehouse, Latin School”s Live and Learn, Discovery Center as well as many private home classes. Her classes sell out fast, as she is always one the most popular cooking instructors wherever she goes.

Megan also provides professional chef services to national corporate tradeshow clients at FMI (Food Marketing Institute), PMA (Produce Marketing Assoc.) and the International Home & Housewares Show. She has made guest chef appearances at Crate & Barrel’s Gourmet Pantry and at the NBC Health and Fitness Expos. She has also made guest appearances on radio and television programs, such as the nationally syndicated show, “Starting Over,” helping the women of the house choose healthier food alternatives. She was recently featured on DailyCandy.com for her healthy home cooking classes in Chicago.

And finally we closed the show with Jordan Goldberg who is with the website www.stickk.com

stickK promotes healthier and happier living by helping people achieve their personal goals through the signing of Commitment Contracts. Happier people = happier world!

On stickK, you draw up an official commitment contract that binds you to achieving a personal goal, be it big or small. By agreeing to this contract, you publicly state your goal and commit to achieving it. Or, if grand public pronouncements aren’t your style, you can tell only people you select. Either way, you’ve committed to a goal and people know about it - so now it’s your reputation at stake!

To make you accountable as you work toward your goal, you file weekly reports on your success. (And don’t even think about lying — because you appoint someone you know as a “referee” to verify the accuracy of your reporting!) You also enlist as many Supporters as you’d like to encourage you, via the website, every step of the way. If being part of a group gives you momentum, you can join a community of people on the site who are working toward the same goal as you (this feature will be ready in February). To keep yourself focused throughout your adventure, you record your progress – daily — in a personal journal.

Want to up the ante? Gamble more than your reputation. Place a financial wager on yourself.

Please go to her website www.t-tapp.com and you will find all her stuff plus: contests, a ton of testimonials, amazing before and after pictures and a directory of certified T-Tapp trainers and a whole bunch more….She told us how she developed her amazing techniques while working with top models in Europe. I’m talking Claudia Schiffer and others. Remember models really don’t care what they weigh as much as how they fit into their clothes. So Teresa’s T-Tapp is very comprehensive in delivering fat loss, weight loss and inch loss as well as increasing your overall heath, energy and fitness. You don’t have to be superfit to do her technique in fact she had Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy doing some of the exercises on the air. She was talking us through it and the Fat Guy almost did it. I wish we had a webcam so you could have seen it. I can’t wait to get my hands on Teresa’s DVD…my new crush!!!!

And if that wasn’t enough, you listeners were lucky enough to hear the brilliant Dr. Judith Beck, author of “The Beck Diet Solution,” which is rocketing up the bestseller lists. Dr Beck has been appearing everywhere, in fact, when I got home from the show, I opened my Health magazine and there she was in there. Well Dr Beck is an authority in cognitive therapy and she uses those techniques to help people lose weight. This book is a MUST READ on Dr. Fitness’ Top Weight Loss Books.

It’s worth your time. I was blown away by how helpful this book is and I give it 2 Big Thumbs Up!


We love our Daily Candy and we were lucky enough to have Tiffany Davis from The Daily Candy in our studio…I even included a picture of her!!!! Tiffany leads a life that everyone should be jealous of…I know I am. It is her job to discover the hippest places, the finest restaurants and the coolest clubs. It’s not easy being her. Tonight, Tiffany shared some places you could go in Atlanta to get an unconventional workout. We talked about kickball leagues, we talked about rock climbing centers we even talked about pole dancing and stiletto heel workouts. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of great info. If you are one of few remaining women who don’t subscribe to Daily Candy then hop to it … go to www.DailyCandy.com and sign yourself up. They have city centered issues in a lot of big cities, they have special kid issues and more.
