Tonight we did the show without Dr Fitness who was partying on South Beach probably with Jennifer Nicole Lee and other hot models. But we had in his place the lovely Kathie Larkin and Tiffany Davis Atlanta Editor of the Daily Candy.

On\\ntonight\'s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy\\nget the skinny\\nabout Gourmet Healthy Eating from Dr Gourmet Dr. Tim Harlan. Dr Harlan is an Internist in New\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tOrleans, who has had a love of food preparation since he was a teenager\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\twashing dishes in a restaurant. Along the way he learned cooking from\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tmany fine chefs, and at age twenty-two opened his own restaurant:\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\ta small country-French caf\\xe9. \\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\n\\t\\t\\t\\t

Dr. Harlan originally was going to get a degree in restaurant management, but he ultimately chose to become a doctor.Working\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tas a caterer throughout school, he continued to be involved\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\twith food and cooking but noticed a lack of knowledge in\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tthe medical field about eating healthy and eating well. Neither\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tpatients nor health care providers understood much about a healthful\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tdiet. Patients, it seemed, were usually told not what they could eat\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t \\tbut, rather, what they could not eat.

\\nAnd that is where Dr Gourmet was born. He was uniquely qualified to combine the benefits of creating healthy tasty recipes for his his patients.
His website has eatTHISdiet plans for his patients and anyone else who is interested. There are diets that are low cholesterol, low fat, low sodium. If you have acid reflux / GERD or are on Coumadin / Warfarin and soon if you are lactose intolerant you can find recipes just for you. There is even a section for kid friendly meals and how to safely navigate fast food drive thrus. Please check it out. Dr Gourmet is a great resource www.drgourmet.com

We started the show with the Pasta Queen Jennette Fulda author of the upcoming book Half Assed: A Weight Loss Memoir. Jennette says she entered this world weighing 8\\npounds 5 ounces and came close to leaving it at 372 pounds. After\\nseveral false starts, she started working her weight loss attempt in 2005.\\nShe blogged about it along the way and two short years later she had officially lost 186 pounds, half her weight. She is looking to drop a few more pounds to get down to her goal weight of 160. Her story is truly inspiring - she started out barely able to go a half mile on the treadmill and today she is training for her first half marathon. Please check out her blog and cheer her on to her goal weight. And while your their you can pre-order her upcoming book. www.pastaqueen.com

Then we had on one of the amazing people we met when we attended the Publicity Summit in New York...Carole Brody Fleet The Widow Who Wears Stilettos. Carole was widowed at a young age and has now devoted large part of her life trying to help other young widows get back on track and live a fuller more balanced life. She has a website and an upcoming book. Her book Widows Wear Stilettos: A Practical Guide For The Young Widow is especially timely now with the war helping to create widows as young as 17 years old. Her website which is the first of its kind to deal with women going through this difficult challenge. Check it out at www.widowswearstilettos.com.

Then we had the Fat Guy\'s Favorite drink from 2007 John Paul Lee founder of Tavalon Tea. Tavalon has been called the Starbucks of Tea. But we think they are better than that. Did you know that all tea comes from the tea leaf leaf but how it is processed determines whether it will be green, black or white? John-Paul knows that and so much more. This guy is so passionate about tea and how to give his customers a great tea experience. He talked at length about the health benefits tea. Did you know white tea has the least caffeine and black tea has the most. there are several Tavalon Tea Bars in New York City and I\'m sure there will be many more popping up all over the country. This guy is on to something. So if you are interested in learning more about the ant-aging benefits of tea and want a truly premium tea you must go to www.tavalon.com. They will deliver the finest tea and tea accessories right to your door. The fat Guy says checks they are the best!

And we closed the show with sweet talkin Tiffany "T-Love" Davis from the Daily Candy. Tiffany as always shares websites and resources that you cannot find on your own. She is out there scouring the internet and the streets of Atlanta to find the next hot thing. Like Bacon Salt, two flavors that were born to go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Go to www.baconsalt.com for more info. How about a site that helps you save the world a few grains of rice at a time. Go to www.freerice.com play a vocabulary game and for every correct answer you are donating some rice to hungry people. Tiffany also mentioned that a great way to start the new year off on the right foot is to start a gratitude journal. Every night before bed just take a moment to write down what you are grateful for. This might be a nice gesture from the stranger who held the door open for you or a kind word you child said to you. Only write about the good things that happened to you and you\'ll have a much better attidue the next day. For more great stuff from tiffany please sign up for the Daily Candy newsletter at www.dailycandy.com.

Amazingly\\nthe Fat Guy is being followed by close to 3 dozen people who are interested in\\nwhat he eats each day. Who would have thought?\\xa0 Anyone can follow the\\nFat Guy\'s eating exploits on Twitter.\\xa0 Food\\njournals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying\\nanything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek\\ninto his\\nfood 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.\\nThat\'s right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy\\nTwitters about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try\\nreal hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy

Hot mom, Kathie Larkin was in the studio lending her thoughts and laughter.

Remember\\nwe are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to\\ncreate a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new\\nWellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute\\nfeatures the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given\\nwellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a\\nhealthy lifestyle, etc. We\'re working on ways to make those tips\\navailable to all our listeners. If you have a favorite radio station\\nthat you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an\\nemail telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us\\neveryday too.
