Fat 2 Fit Show #36 - Weight Loss Questions and Answers
Written on July 24, 2008 – 10:32 pm | by Jeff Ainslie
Weight loss questions, diet questions, exercise questions and even a question on diabetes - yes its the email question and answer show!
Jeff gives a little report on his trip to Mexico and saw first hand how the obesity epidemic has even reached the small rural towns there. Not only have we exported obesity there, but also all of our cheap processed food. Then to make matters even worse, our weight loss gimmicks and scams are there too.
With all of the listener feedback coming in, we thought that we would dedicate a show to catching up on all of the good questions that have been coming in. This tended to be a little bit longer show than normal, but we had a lot to say!
Here are the short versions of the questions:
1. Will the McDonald’s diet work without exercise, or will it even work at all in the long term?
2. Is it really necessary to keep a food diary to lose weight?
3. I burn less calories doing High Intensity Interval Training than my regular workouts. Is it going to hurt my weight loss?
4. What is with people who gain weight when they start running?
5. What are the real concerns with diet soda?
6. How do you get/stop/treat diabetes?
7. Is it worth it to get the Nintendo Wii?
8. Are these supplements and herbs helpful?
9. An easy way to get out of a weight loss plateau.

This is unrelated to this specific show, but I thought you both, and listeners, might be interested in these PBS shows. If you go to this link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/takeonestep/
you can watch the full episodes online. The two interesting ones are “FAT: What no one is telling you” and “Heart Disease: The Hidden Epidemic” They’re both really informative and have a lot of useful information. I’m not so sure how I feel about the “Fat” episode, but I thought you guys would find these episodes very intersting as they both discuss current research and public health issues.
