Tonight's show is sponsored by The Card Mom, Celeste Katz. If you are looking for a great easy to implement system for sending out personal hand stamped greeting cards please check out Celeste's great website www.thecardmom.com On tonight's show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how structure can help you lose weight from the author of The Structure House Weight Loss Plan, Dr Gerard Musante.

Dr Musante's book is about change. Not just change in your weight—losing the pounds you want to lose. He says weight loss is important, but it's not really the change that is most important. Rather, The Structure House Weigh Loss Plan focuses on changing yourself in deeper, more significant, more durable ways than what you can measure simply by standing on your bathroom scale. He talks about changing how you view yourself. Changing your relationship with food. Changing your choices about how to live your life. Changing your attitude about change itself. For over thirty years, Dr Musante has helped overweight and obese men and women learn about change at Structure House, the residential program he founded in Durham, North Carolina. Approximately one thousand people participate in their programs there each year. Some of these participants are ten, twenty, thirty pounds over their desired weight. Others have even more excess pounds and would be considered obese. Still others are morbidly obese—so overweight that their health is in immediate jeopardy. Almost all of the people who have come to Structure House understand that excess weight can lead to medical problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other serious health risks. These participants stay at Structure House for a period of time and, each in his or her own way, learn about the possibilities for change and about the skills that make change possible. For more information about Dr Musante's book (which is now available in paperback) and his amazing program please go to his website www.structurehouse.com

The Portion Teller Plan will teach you how to understand portion sizes so that you can lose weight and stop dieting, no matter what your portion personality might be. Are you a mindless muncher who snacks all day, a dinner lover who enjoys one big meal a day, or maybe a volume eater who always wants to sit down with a huge plate of food at every meal? No matter what your eating habits, The Portion Teller Plan offers a personalized eating plan that is right for you.
