Fun Fitness and Nutrition Sites

Since my surgery I've been listening to this podcast called Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy and I've found some really fun sites I thought I'd share with you guys. Some of them might be "Duh!s" to you guys but they were new to me.

National Body Challenge : Discovery Health - 8 week fitness challenge from Discovery Channel that will set up a plan for you including diet and excercises. They include recipes though most of it won't work for bariatric though you could shrink the portions and it definately isn't low carb. The part I love is the workouts. They have videos for each workout and it tells you how many calories you burn if you put in your weight on your profile.

www.thedailyplate.com - food and excercise tracker with a huge food database plus it allows you to enter new foods and you can use partial or multiple portions easily.

Healthy Recipes, Healthy Eating, Healthy Cooking - Eating Well - Great magazine and website for eating healthy.

Kaboodle - have fun shopping with friends, share and discover new products. - Fun shopping site since we will be or are shopping for fitness stuff and new clothes. Yippee!
