Summary: People tend to destroy their diets when they go on vacation. Not only do they not lose or maintain their current weight, but most actually gain weight! Russ and Jeff historically have always gained a few pounds while on vacation, but in the last few years they have managed to limit the damage. From our own experiences, we talk about all of our best strategies to survive a vacation, and yet still enjoy the food that is available. Our first email question dealt with the aftermath of liposuction. We answer questions such as: What does your body do with fewer fat cells after liposuction? Does your body recreate the predetermined number it needs? Does liposuction put your body in an cellular unbalanced state? Does your body shift fat cell from other places to balance or can it re-grow liposuctioned fat cells? Our second listener feedback pointed us towards some free PBS videos that you can watch online for free. The two interesting ones are "FAT: What no one is telling you" and "Heart Disease: The Hidden Epidemic." In our Web Report section, Jeff takes on the marketing claims of Frosted Mini Wheats. It seems that a sponsored study by Kellogs doesn't offer anything new or even remotely impressive, but that doesn't stop them from spinning it into something that it really isn't. Russ talks about Dara Torres, a 42 year old Olympian who is outperforming people half her age. You may not want to be an Olympian, but eating right and working out can keep you in you prime decades longer.
