On today's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened the show with journalist and author Sam MacDonald who talked about his book The Urban Hermit. In it he chronicles his journey from being an underemployed Yale party guy who was in debt and obese to being a happily married debt free semi-success like the rest of his Yale buddies. And he did this all by eating lentils, hard boiled eggs and tuna fish sandwiches.  It is a hilarious piece of non-fiction that shows that you can lose weight and keep it off by spending $8 a week on food. While even Sam doesn't recommend you follow his weight loss plan - it did work for him. Please go to Amazon and check this book out.Next up we had on our good friend The Nutrition Twins Tammy and Lyssie Lakatos. They talked about their new book coming out in September called The Secret To Skinny and it's all about how salt makes you fat. Their old book Fire Up Your Metabolism: 9 Proven Principles For Burning Fat and Losing Weight Forever is available at their website www.nutritiontwins.comAnd we closed the show with Dr Fitness' favorite Exercise Science Guy direct form Princeton Matt Byzycki shared his thoughts about the 200 pound guy who is suing because he thought it was a good idea to bench press 150 pounds while lying on an inflatable exercise ball. Well that ball exploded, he hit the floor and hurt himself pretty bad. Matt has a couple of books you should check out - one is on dumbell training and the other is on Youth Fitness.Don't forget to sign up for the Roswell-tree a great fun run and race held each year on July 4. This year the Fat Guy has agreed to race as long as they promised to give him a crown made of bacon if he wins. This is an invitation only event that benefits the Atlanta Community Food Bank. All participants get a cool designer t-shirt and your choice of either a tiara or a baseball cap, plus an awesome award breakfast immediately following the race.

Amazingly the Fat Guy is being followed by thousands of people who are interested in what he does each day. Who would have thought?  Anyone can follow the Fat Guy's exploits on Twitter.  Food journals are great ways to lose weight and the Fat Guy is always trying anything in order to lose those last 20 pounds. So take a peek into his food diary. You never know what he'll write. Somehow he can stay compliant to writing on Twitter but he can't fit in exercise each day. That's right, moments after he eats something the Fat Guy used to Twitter about it and you can follow him so that one day if you try real hard you too can look like the Fat Guy. Please go to www.twitter.com/fatguy Remember we are now on every morning in Michigan. On radio station WKNW. They asked us to create a Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy "Wellness Minute." So now a new Wellness Minute runs on that station each morning at around 7:40. Each Wellness Minute features the doctor and I going over 5 of his best tips on a given wellness subject like: losing weight, getting in shape, living a healthy lifestyle, etc. Now these Wellness Minutes are available online.  If you have a favorite radio station that you think would benefit from our Wellness Minutes send them an email telling them about it and who knows maybe you can hear us everyday too. Also once again, I need you to please do me a favor. My kid Max has been doing a radio show called "Kid Power Radio" for awhile now and you should check it out. Tiffany from The Daily Candy called his family friendly radio show "Hilarious!" This is a great show for your kids.
