Fat 2 Fit #101 – Losing Weight Too Quickly


Written on July 22, 2010 – 3:15 pm | by Russ Turley

What do you say to someone that tells you you’re losing weight too slowly?  You are in fact losing weight, just not at the pace that they would like.  Listener Robin has just such a problem.  Even her doctor wants her to use very low calorie  diet Fat2Fit Book Cover and her friends are pushing her to run and do a 5K when she knows she’s not ready.  Who does she listen to?  Shanna wrote in that she’s confused about what her goal weight should be.  We created our calculators for just such an occasion.  But, she considers herself “big boned” and so do those numbers apply to her?

On our Web Report, Jeff has two articles.  One is an infographic that shows how much food Americans eat on a yearly basis, on average.  It splits it up into different categories like dairy, meat, grain and then further by different foods in each category.  Very cool.  The second is a link to a video clip of an interview where Biggest Loser, Kai Hibbard, outs the show for being not completely honest how it portrays the show.  Russ has two articles as well.  They were supposed to be light hearted.  The first is a list of 10 signs that might be gaining weight.  One is, you’re in the market for an F-Cup bra. You’re male.  Check out the list.  Some are regional, but funny none the less.  The second article is about a woman that was being kicked out of New Zealand for being too fat!  She was told she’d be a drain on the national health care system, so out she goes.  Discussion ensues.

It’s official! The book, Fat 2 Fit: Getting There & Staying There is now available for purchase!
