We start off the show discussing a “60 Minutes” segment about forcing fast food restaurants in New York to list the calories of all of their foods right on their menu boards. Will this encourage people to eat healthier, or will they just ignore the extra info? Jeff’s news stories dealt with a study showing that more children are starting to diet, purge, and use diet pills than ever before, and the growing data that shows that there are now more obese people in developing countries than hungry ones. Russ’ first news story also dealt with the increasing number of Americans who are now obese and a review of 5 common infomercial fitness machines. Our main topic of the show was support in weight loss and fitness. The ideal would be to have a partner who is going through all of the same struggles and challenges that you are in your journey to fitness. In reality, this doesn’t always happen. So where can you go for support? We talk about some traditional “brick and mortar” places for support and some online places that might help you as well. We also mull over the possibility of creating a non-commercial support community at Fat 2 Fit Radio. Links mentioned in the show: The Five Tiers of food yet again!
