In today’s Wellness Minute we give you some of the most inexpensive healthy food choices at the grocery store. So if you are on a budget, and who isn’t these days pay attention.  For more fiber try eating more oats. The Fat Guy eats Trader Joe’s steelcut oatmeal which costs about $.75 a serving. It comes frozen and you just microwave it for 3 mintes and you are ready to go. Eggs are an anti-oxidant and protein rich inexpensive option as well. And eggs are not just for breakfast. Kale and sweet potatos are vitamin packed veggies that are pretty inexpensive. And don’t forget the apples they are fiber rich, crunchy and delicious – try the honeycrisp apple they are hard to find but worth it. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute we share some more tips to survive eating out at more popular restaurants. Eating healthy at popular restaurants is really pretty easy. You just have to have the mindset that the chef at each restaurant is really your personal chef and have them make whatever you order in a more healthful way. Some people call me high maintenance when I order at a restaurant – no sauce, dressing on the side, hold the mayo, can you grill that instead of frying that, etc. At Olive Garden go with their minestrone soup and at Red Lobster try their jumbo shrimp garden salad – ask for the shrimp steamed not fried.

In today’s Wellness Minute we share some of the reasons why the French are so skinny. Some people think people from France are skinny because of their constant smoking or their quiet disdain for anything American. Sure they eat a lot of cheese and drink a lot of wine, yet somehow they are skinnier and healthier than the rest of us.  That’s why it is called the French Paradox. The big reason they stay slim is that they look at food differently. They savor each bite like a food critic. They also eat smaller portions than we do – about 25% smaller in fact.
