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 a website that will help you stick to your commitments. Jordan Goldberg who is with the website www.stickk.com told us all about how a bunch of Yale students and professors devised this simple but effective way to keep someone compliant to their weight loss program, their exercise plan or even their attempt to stop smoking. 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. How about this if you don’t make your goal you donate money to an anti-charity. Go to www.stickk.com and see how that works.

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.

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.

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
