Fri, 15 September 2006 Resting Energy Expenditure (Basal Metabolic Rate) and Weight Loss, and Should You Eat Soy? This week we look at calculating resting energy expenditure, which is similar in concept to basal metabolic rate, and how to use this information to help you lose weight. We ask the question - do you really need to worry that much about basal metabolic rate? We also answer a question from Dave at ZAP 120 about soy products and how much should you eat.

Sun, 3 September 2006 Healthy Weight, Exercise Capacity, Nicotine, Adam Tinkoff Interview Part 2 In this episode I answer listener questions about what is a healthy weight, and what is "maximum exercise capacity" and why is it important? I also take to my soapbox about a recent news item regarding the tobacco industry's continued efforts to increase the addictive potential of cigarettes. The program wraps up with part 2 of the interview with Adam Tinkoff discussing how he successfully lost twenty pounds, and how he stays fit while traveling around the world.
