On\\ntonight\'s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how structure can help you lose weight from the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan, Dr Gerard Musante.

\\n\\n\\n\\n

Dr Musante\'s book is about change. Not just change in\\nyour weight\\u2014losing the pounds you want to lose. He says weight loss is important, but\\nit\'s not really the change that is most important. Rather, The Structure House\\nWeigh Loss Plan focuses on changing yourself in deeper, more significant, more\\ndurable ways than what you can measure simply by standing on your bathroom\\nscale. He talks about changing how you view yourself. Changing your\\nrelationship with food. Changing your choices about how to live your life.\\nChanging your attitude about change itself.
\\n
\\nFor over thirty years, Dr Musante has helped overweight and obese men and women learn about\\nchange at Structure House, the residential program he founded in Durham, North\\n Carolina. Approximately one thousand people\\nparticipate in their programs there each year. Some of these participants are\\nten, twenty, thirty pounds over their desired weight. Others have even more\\nexcess pounds and would be considered obese. Still others are morbidly obese\\u2014so\\noverweight that their health is in immediate jeopardy.
\\n
\\nAlmost all of the people who have come to Structure House understand that\\nexcess weight can lead to medical problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular\\ndisease, hypertension, and other serious health risks. These participants stay\\nat Structure House for a period of time and, each in his or her own way, learn\\nabout the possibilities for change and about the skills that make change\\npossible. For more information about Dr Musante\'s book (which is now available in paperback) and his amazing program please go to his website www.structurehouse.com

\\n\\n

We led the show off with Dr Lisa Young, author of the Portion Teller and the Portion Teller Plan.

\\n\\n

\\n\\n

\\n\\n

Dr Young is a nationally\\nrecognized nutrition consultant and faculty member at New York University. Dr. Young\\nhas been counseling adults and children for more than 15 years, has published\\nnumerous articles on portion sizes, and frequently lectures on nutrition.\\nWidely considered an expert on portion control, Young is regularly featured in\\nnational publications including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal,\\nUSA Today, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Self, Fitness, and\\nGlamour. She has also been featured on national television including the Today\\nShow, ABC News, CBS News, and CNN, and was in the film Super Size Me.

\\n\\n\\n\\n

The Portion Teller Plan will teach you how to understand\\nportion sizes so that you can lose weight and stop dieting, no matter what your\\nportion personality might be. Are you a mindless muncher who snacks all day, a\\ndinner lover who enjoys one big meal a day, or maybe a volume eater who always\\nwants to sit down with a huge plate of food at every meal? No matter what your\\neating habits, The Portion Teller Plan offers a personalized eating plan that\\nis right for you.

\\n\\n

Instead of giving up the foods you love, learn to smartsize\\nthem with the help of one of the country\\u2019s leading nutritionists. \\xa0 Would\\nyou ever consider going to the kitchen in the morning and grabbing five slices\\nof bread for breakfast? No? Just one bagel or perhaps a bran muffin is more like\\nit, right? Well, think again. Your morning bagel or muffin is probably\\nequivalent to eating five slices of bread, maybe more. That\\u2019s most of your\\ngrain servings for the day. \\xa0 And, that steak you ate last night? For all\\nthe calories and protein you consumed, you might as well have eaten 18 eggs.\\nMore than double the amount of protein you need in a day. \\xa0

\\n\\n

Surprised at\\njust how much you are eating? Dr. Lisa Young isn\\u2019t. She has been studying how\\nAmericans eat for more than a decade, and what she found is astonishing.\\nPortion sizes have subtly and steadily increased over the past thirty years and\\nare now two to five times larger than they were in the past. Even the average\\ndinner plate has grown several inches to accommodate more food. The portions\\nwe\\u2019re served are getting bigger and we keep eating. The end result? That\\u2019s\\nright. Americans are getting fatter. For more information about Dr Young and her books please go to her website www.portionteller.com

\\n\\n\\n\\n

Next up we had our good friend Nicci Micco, Senior Editor with Eating Well magazine. We thanked her profusely for helping Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy become Editor\'s Picks in this month\'s issue of the magazine.

\\n\\n

Nicci talked about an important article in her magazine titled "10 Steps to Heart Health" She says that you can change your fate just by Eating Well. \\n\\n

\\n\\n

In the United\\n States, heart disease affects about 9\\nmillion adults, killing one every 37 seconds. But the good news\\u2014which Dr.\\nPhilip Ades, author of the new book EatingWell\\nfor a Healthy Heart has made it his mission to spread\\u2014is that heart-disease\\nis mostly preventable. Research shows that up to 90 percent of heart disease\\ncan be prevented by changing one\\u2019s diet, exercising more, maintaining a healthy\\nweight and not smoking.

\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n

Reduce\\nyour risk by following these 10 simple steps.

\\n\\n

1- Know your numbers; 2-Calculate your risk; 3-Lose some weight; 4-less saturated fats; 5-lose the junk food. You\'ll have to listen to get the rest or go to their website for more information www.eatingwell.com. You can get Dr Ades\' book there as well.

\\n\\n

Next we had on Evelyn Tribole, author of the book Intuitive Eating.

\\n\\n

\\n\\n

\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n

Evelyn Tribole, MS,\\nRD, is an award-winning dietitian with a counseling practice in Irvine, California,\\nwhere she helps clients create a healthy relationship with food, mind and\\nbody.\\xa0 She was the nutrition expert for Good Morning America and qualified\\nfor the 1984 Olympic trials in the women\'s marathon. Although she no longer\\ncompetes, she runs for fun and fitness. Evelyn had some great tips like eat like a food critic...taste each bite and slowly enjoy it. There were lots more tips

\\n\\n\\n\\n

Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how\\nto\\xa0create a\\xa0healthy relationship with your food, mind,\\xa0and\\nbody--where you ultimately become the expert of your own\\nbody.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0You learn how\\xa0 to distinguish between physical and\\nemotional feelings, and gain a sense of body wisdom.\\xa0\\xa0 It\'s also a\\nprocess of making peace with food---so that you no longer have constant\\n"food worry" thoughts.\\xa0 It\'s knowing that your health and your\\nworth as a person does not change because you ate a so-called "bad"\\nor "fattening" food.\\xa0
\\n
\\nOn the surface this may sound simplistic, but it is rather complex. For example\\none of the basic principles of Intuitive Eating is the ability to respond to\\ninner body cues, \\u201cEat when you\'re hungry and stop when you\'re full?, which may\\nsound\\xa0 like a no-brainer. But when you have history of chronic\\ndieting\\xa0 or rigid \\u201chealthy? rules about eating it\'s quite difficult\\nbecause a number of things need to be in place, including the ability to trust\\nyourself! For more information and to get her book please go to her website www.intuitiveeating.com

\\n\\nNo Dr Fitness\' Fitness\\nTips\\nthis week but you can get his tips\\nevery day at our new website www.wellnessminutes.com or on iTunes here. Or our blog www.drfitnessblog.com

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by over 3 dozen\\npeople who are interested in what he eats each day. Who would have\\nthought?\\xa0 Anyone can follow the Fat Guy\'s eating 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 Twitters about it and you\\ncan follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the\\nFat Guy.
