This year Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy were fortunate enough to have a lot of great food and drink related guests on our radio show this year. So since all the other big media stars were doing year end lists, I thought I’d do it too. So without further ado, here is the Fat Guy’s list of favorite almost healthy foods and/or drinks for 2007.

Number 5. Lesser Evil popcorn snacks. I like cocoa and cinnamon. My wife likes the Krinkle Sticks.

Number 4. Fizzy Lizzy sparkling fruit drink. All flavors are awesome.

Number 3. PopChips. I love the Barbeque.

Number 2. Holey Donuts. 300 calorie cinnamon rolls - enough said.

Number 1. Tavalon Tea. I must drink the lemon grass green tea everyday or I get even more curmudgeony!

That’s it for now I can’t wait to eat and drink my way through 2008!

We also had on Harrison Forbes the co-host of Pet Talk. The nation’s best pet show on radio. Harrison shared his best dog training tips including his suggestion to use a prong collar when training your dog. He also chimed in on the recent tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo and how he recently appeared on the Larry King Show to discuss it. He also said that a lot of bad dog behaviors like digging or chewing can be traced to your dogs frustration. And you might be able to cure the dog by exercising your dog. Remember when you do exercise your dog do it at dog speed not Fat Guy speed. Harrison talked about his upcoming project he is working on with James Gandolfini and his upcoming book. For more info on everything he is up to be sure to check out his website www.harrisonforbes.com

We led off the show with womens health journalist Karen Bridson author of the book Secrets of Skinny Chicks. Karen interviewed 25 skinny women to learn exactly how they got in shape. She purposely chose women who were not naturally skinny to see what they did and didn’t do to achieve their weight loss goal. It seems that in order to lose weight you must be very mindful of your eating and to exercise a lot more than you think is enough. Her book also touches on the dangers of overdoing it. She shares a very personal story of a friend of hers who suffered from an eating disorder. Please check out her book at Amazon, Barnes and noble and other bookstores.

And we ended the show and 2007 with a great interview with one of our BFF’s Jennifer Nicole Lee. JNL shared some of the exciting things she has planned in 2008. She has got calendars, ebooks, dvds and lots and lots of photos on her website www.jennifernicolelee.com.

Americans have no sense of what an appropriate portion size is anymore. We think that any sized bag of chips is single serving. And some products aren’t helping the cause. How many times have you eaten a snack and glanced to check the calories and thought oh that’s not so bad…but then looked a little closer and saw that that little bag of chips wasn’t one serving but two.

Well good news… snack companies are finally trying to help. They’re advertising and packaging snacks in 100 calorie bags. That way we know exactly how many calories we’re snacking on. You’re defintely paying a premium for them measuring out your portions for you, but to me it’s worth it.

Read all about it here.

The only downside for me now is that it takes 6 or 7 bags to get the same chip high I used to get in one supersized bag.
