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.

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.
