Dr. Fitness found some funny fitness questions people have asked other trainers on the internet. Like is "Is how I'm breathing the reason\xa0why I'm not losing weight?" Yeah it's your breathing not the fact you can't go by a McDonald's without stopping your car. The Fat Guy shared a new french fry invention by Longhorn - they have taken french fries to a new level. And we also discussed how binge eating is the new number one eating disorder knocking\xa0anorexia and bulimia out of the top spot.
