 Interview with dr lisa young portion teller: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to get a handle on the portion size of our meals from Dr Lisa Young, author of the Portion Teller and the Portion Teller Plan.

Dr Young is a nationally recognized nutrition consultant and faculty member at New York University. Dr. Young has been counseling adults and children for more than 15 years,. Lisa is an expert on portion control, and nutrition. Young is regularly featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Self, Fitness, and Glamour. She has also been featured on national television including the Today Show, ABC News, CBS News, and CNN, and was in the film Super Size Me.

The Portion Teller Plan will teach you how to understand portion sizes so that you can lose weight and stop dieting. Are you a mindless muncher who snacks all day, a dinner lover who enjoys one big meal a day, or maybe a volume eater who always wants to sit down with a huge plate of food at every meal? No matter what your eating habits, The Portion Teller Plan offers a personalized eating plan that is right for you.

Instead of giving up the foods you love, learn to smart-size them. Would you ever consider going to the kitchen in the morning and grabbing five slices of bread for breakfast? No? Just one bagel or perhaps a bran muffin is more like it, right? Well, think again. Your morning bagel or muffin is the same as eating five slices of bread, maybe more. That’s most of your grain servings for the day.

And, that steak you ate last night? For all the calories and protein you consumed, you might as well have eaten 18 eggs. More than double the amount of protein you need in a day.

Surprised at just how much you are eating? Dr. Lisa Young isn’t. She has been studying how Americans eat for more than a decade, and what she found is astonishing. Portion sizes have subtly and steadily increased over the past thirty years and are now two to five times larger than they were in the past. Even the average dinner plate has grown several inches to accommodate more food. The portions we’re served are getting bigger and we keep eating. The end result? That’s right. Americans are getting fatter. Not just the Fat Guy. For more information about Dr Young and her books please go to her website www.portionteller.com

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how structure can help you lose weight. We get this info right from the horse’s mouth, Dr Gerard Musante, author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan joined us.

Dr Musante’s says that “Food can be the best medicine OR the worst poison for your body.” Remember that the next time you supersize something!

The Structure House Weigh Loss Plan focuses on changing yourself in deeper, more significant, more durable ways than what you can measure simply by standing on your bathroom scale.

For over thirty years, Dr Musante has helped overweight and obese men and women learn about change at Structure House, the residential program he founded in Durham, North Carolina. Approximately one thousand people participate in their programs there each year. It’s like a college campus. Some people are 10, 20, 30 pounds over their desired weight. Others are even heavier and would be considered obese. Still others are morbidly obese—so overweight that their health is in immediate jeopardy.

Almost all of the people who have come to Structure House understand that being overweight can lead to medical problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other serious health risks. These people stay at Structure House for a weekend or even a month learn first hand about the possibilities for change and about the skills that make change possible. For more information about Dr Musante’s book (which is now available in paperback) and his amazing weight loss program please go to his website www.structurehouse.com

On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how structure can help you lose weight from the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan, Dr Gerard Musante. One of the key takeaways from this interview was Dr Musante’s statement that “Food can be the best medicine OR the worst poison for your body.” Remember that the next time you suck down that Big Mac!

Dr Musante’s book is about change. Not just change in your weight—losing the pounds you want to lose. He says weight loss is important, but it’s not really the change that is most important. Rather, The Structure House Weigh Loss Plan focuses on changing yourself in deeper, more significant, more durable ways than what you can measure simply by standing on your bathroom scale. He talks about changing how you view yourself. Changing your relationship with food. Changing your choices about how to live your life. Changing your attitude about change itself.

For over thirty years, Dr Musante has helped overweight and obese men and women learn about change at Structure House, the residential program he founded in Durham, North Carolina. Approximately one thousand people participate in their programs there each year. Some of these participants are ten, twenty, thirty pounds over their desired weight. Others have even more excess pounds and would be considered obese. Still others are morbidly obese—so overweight that their health is in immediate jeopardy.

Almost all of the people who have come to Structure House understand that being overweight can lead to medical problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other serious health risks.

Next up we had our good friend Nicci Micco, Senior Editor with Eating Well magazine. We thanked her profusely for helping Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy become Editor’s Picks in this month’s issue of the magazine.

Nicci talked about an important article in her magazine titled “10 Steps to Heart Health” She says that you can change your fate just by Eating Well.

In the United States, heart disease affects about 9 million adults, killing one every 37 seconds. 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.

Reduce your risk by following these 10 simple steps.

1- Know your numbers; 2-Calculate your risk; 3-Lose some weight; 4-less saturated fats; 5-lose the junk food. You’ll have to listen to get the rest or go to their website for more information www.eatingwell.com. You can get Dr Ades’ book there as well.

Next we had on Evelyn Tribole, author of the book Intuitive Eating.

Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD, is an award-winning dietitian with a counseling practice in Irvine, California, where she helps clients create a healthy relationship with food, mind and body. She was the nutrition expert for Good Morning America and qualified for the 1984 Olympic trials in the women’s marathon. Although she no longer competes, she runs for fun and fitness. Evelyn had some great tips like eat like a food critic…taste each bite and slowly enjoy it. There were lots more tips

Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how to create a healthy relationship with your food, mind, and body–where you ultimately become the expert of your own body. You learn how to distinguish between physical and emotional feelings, and gain a sense of body wisdom. It’s also a process of making peace with food—so that you no longer have constant “food worry” thoughts. It’s knowing that your health and your worth as a person does not change because you ate a so-called “bad” or “fattening” food.

On the surface this may sound simple, but it’s tricky. For example one of the basic principles of Intuitive Eating is the ability to respond to inner body cues, “Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full”, which may sound like a no-brainer. But when you have history of chronic dieting or rigid “healthy” rules about eating it’s quite difficult because a number of things need to be in place, including the ability to trust yourself!

 Interview with skinnysongs heidi roizen: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Please click PLAY to listen to this recent interview from the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Radio Show. Or now you can subscribe to just the interviews from our radio show on iTunes by clicking this link.

We learn how all about the hottest inspirational weight loss cd sweeping the country SkinnySongs with creator Heidi Roizen. Heidi came into the Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy studio right from a recent appearance on Martha Stewart’s TV show, Oprah and Friends and an article in USA Today. She shared her amazing story about the origins of SkinnySongs and gave some juicy behind the music stories. This is the cd you listen to in the car that inspires you to go to the gym instead of the drive thru.

What do great music and losing weight have in common? According to one of Silicon Valley’s best known venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, Heidi Roizen… just about everything. “In May I hit my all time high weight,” Heidi begins, “so I decided to commit myself to losing it for good this time. I wanted to find music that would keep me motivated about getting in shape and sticking to my diet. While I normally exercise to music by artists like Pink and Carrie Underwood, and their music is great, their lyrics didn’t speak to me about what I was trying to do. I figured, there is great, empowering music about all sorts of topics, there must be for this too. But, I searched for it, and just couldn’t find any.”
That is when Heidi decided to create her own hip music. She wrote the kind of lyrics she herself wanted to hear – stories about making a commitment, sticking to a plan, and getting into that skinny pair of jeans in the back of the closet. She then collaborated with accomplished music producers David Malloy (who has forty Number One Awards to his name) and George Daly (whose career has included senior roles at Columbia and Atlantic Records), to create songs that range in style from driving rock to jamming hip hop, featuring amazingly talented emerging artists. With such empowering songs as Objects in the Mirror Will Get Thinner Than They Now Appear, The Incredible Shrinking Women, You da’ Boss, I’m a Hottie Now, You Can’t Buy Thin and Skinny Jeans her music celebrates commitment, strength, and sex appeal.

Now, the 50 million people in America alone who take the annual pledge to lose weight will be able to find a voice – and some support and encouragement in Heidi Roizen’s music.
“We are all incredibly proud of our work,” states Heidi. “We know that we are going to make a difference in encouraging people to right size themselves. It certainly has worked for Heidi – by sticking to her fitness and diet plan with some help from Skinnysongs, she has lost 30 pounds, and recently zipped up her own skinny jeans.
SkinnySongs is available on Amazon, iTunes and her website. Read more about the artists and hear some music samples and check out lots of apparel and other goodies at www.skinnysongs.com. This cd has been playing in the Fat Guy’s wife’s car for weeks now. We can’t recommend this cd enough - everyone who has listened to it has loved it…including Dr Fitness, the Fat Guy, their wives, past guests…even our ultra hip engineer Sean liked it. So please check it out for yourself.

Please click PLAY to listen to this recent interview from the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Radio Show. Or now you can subscribe to just the interviews from our popular weight loss and fitness radio show on iTunes by clicking this link.

We learn how all about how hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you lose weight and live a healthier life from 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.

The Be Fit for Life Series - Complete Weight Loss Program gets results by retraining your brain to attain and maintain the ideal weight for your body type. 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.
