\\n\\n\\nWe haven\'t updated our SobeFit magazine Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Weight Loss Challenge in awhile because I think it\'s over - we did not lose 50 pounds combined - we lost over 30 pounds combined which isn\'t too shabby. Marta\\nMonetenegro, the founder\\nof SobeFit, is our coach will be coming on soon to recap.\\nWe are still trying to lose more weight so please send\\nyour tips and words of encouragement or sabotage to\\nadam @ drfitnessandthefatguy.com or to @FatGuy on Twitter. And remember to check out SobeFit magazine at \\nwww.sobefitmagazine.com

On\\ntoday\'s\\nshow\\nDr\\nFitness\\nand\\nthe\\nFat\\nGuy\\nopened\\nthe\\nshow\\nwith\\na guy who wrote into our website complaining that we should go to jail for telling people about Holey Donuts - he also we were mean to Gary Taubes. This guy has a major man crush on Gary and said we spent too much of the interview goofing on him rather than letting him share his low carb wisdom. He also says our show is a sham and we are the reason everyone is overweight. So you don\'t want to miss his part.

The real show began with Rory Freedman, author of the NY Times Bestseller Skinny Bitch who came on to talk about Skinny Bastard. which is that kick in the butt men need to lose wight and get buff. Rory has a bunch of great advice for men who need to drop a few pounds. to learn more about this book please go to www.skinnybastard.net

Next up we had on Robert Davis, author of the Healthy Skeptic. Robert is an award winning health journalist. He shared some tips on how to understand who to believe when it comes to health and science claims. It\'s like they said in All The President\'s Men - follow the money - who is paying for the study. To learn more about Robert and his book please go to his website www.everwell.com

Next up we had on Thomas Madden, inventor of the Knife and Fork Lift. While all our listeners know Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy have been talking about weighted silverware since we started the show, Thomas actually went out and invented it. He is a doer and we are just dreamers. His mini barbell like fork and knife set will definitely slow down your eating, just like we have been saying for years. To learn more please go to his website www.knifeandforklift.com

We closed the show with Rob Luka, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor\'s office. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with.

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by thousands of\\npeople who are interested in what he does each day. Who would have\\nthought?\\xa0 Anyone can follow the Fat Guy\'s exploits on\\nTwitter.\\xa0 Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is\\nalways trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek\\ninto his food diary. You never know what he\'ll write. Somehow he can stay\\ncompliant to writing on Twitter but he can\'t fit in exercise each day. That\'s\\nright, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy used to Twitter about it and you\\ncan follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the\\nFat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy\\n

\\nRemember we are now on every morning in Michigan.\\nOn radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy\\n"Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station\\neach morning at around 7:40. Each\\nWellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a\\ngiven wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy\\nlifestyle, etc. Now these Wellness Minutes are available online.\\xa0 If\\nyou have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our\\nWellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe\\nyou can hear us everyday too.
