Well folks we finally made it to episode 20 and both Steve and I have seen some decent progress in our tasks to lose weight and live a heathier lifestyle. I’d like to take this time to introduce to you two websites that well help you keep track of your food intake and all of the working out you have been doing. It’s quite common for people to set a goal (er, resolution) to lose weight during the new year and we at GeekFit wanted to point you in the right direction.
- Traineo.com - helps you lose weight & get fit by letting you track your progress through a unique way of getting friendly motivation.
- SparkPeople.com - Free diet plans customized for you by SparkPeople.com. Other diets do not compare to the free diet tools and resources you get from SparkPeople.
Both websites do about the same thing, Steve and Jason started out using SparkPeople and later transitioned to Traineo. Once you join one of these sites please join the GeekFit group by following one of these two links:
- Traineo.com - http://geekfit.groups.traineo.com/
- SparkPeople.com - http://teams.sparkpeople.com/geekfit

Our new Intro - “WE KNEW Trance Mix” - Big Joey Little Joey by Trap Door
Articles Reviewed
- Too tired or lazy to cut your butter in the morning? Here’s a machine that’ll do it for you, precisely measuring a 35-calorie portion at a time. Keep in mind, butter is 100% fat.
This could actually be useful. If you’re a fanatic about calorie counting, dole out a controlled portion, count it accurately, slim down. While you’re at it, don’t forget to count those crows on the clothesline.
One Click Butter Cutter for cutting calories - Coke Says New Drink Will Burn Calories
Coca-Cola said that it will introduce a new green-tea beverage that has been proven to burn calories. Enviga will hit the market in the Northeast next month and nationwide in January. Coke said it is the product of a joint venture with Nestle and could burn 60 to 100 calories with three 12-ounce servings.
Jason Discusses various drinks:
- MonsterLo-Carb - Decent boost and lo cal.
- Lipton green tea -Jason uses this as a soda replacement while at work.
- Fat Guy Radio gave up all sodas.
Steve comments on:
- “The Filter”for the iPod

GeekFit Episode 16 - Expo Recap
Author: Jason10 Oct
GeekFit.com Podcast #16 - Expo recap & Getting back into the swing of things [41:17m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadDue to a recording snafu on Jason’s side, we lost what was supposed to be the 15th episode and so instead you got live feed from the podcast expo. This is our first actual recording since returning from the expo. On to the show notes:
- Steve starts by complaining about the Ontario airport.
- The guys discuss the portable media expo and all the tom-foolery therein.
- Steve talks about his winter workout schedule - more about that in the next podcast.
- Some confusing talk about the link between serotonin receptors in the brain and exercise - I’ll come up with some supporting articles for the next podcast.
So evidently there’s a little bit of a hiss on the recording. Steve thinks it’s on his side, so he’s going to dink with it a bit and figure out how to get rid of it. Jason’s side is clean and they’re using the same gear. It will be dealt with. Oh yes, it will.

The Secret Connection between Loosing Fat and Eating Healthily
“Resolve to become more healthy and drop the fat automatically. (CLIP: Loosing fat quickly is about willpower — and willpower is cheap — but achieving sustainable and permanent healthand fitness requires persistence and discipline — rare virtues involving hard work.)”
Steve had a hard time reading this one, he almost sounded like Jason when he reads!

“Supermarkets are scarce in low-income neighborhoods, where residents must shell out more cash than their richer counterparts - for less healthy food.”

“Who knew that one day a cactus might help us with weight loss? It’s been recently discovered that for centuries now, Australian aboriginals used the Hoodia Gordonii cactus to suppress their hunger while hunting. As seen on Oprah, the hoodia cactus is now being used as an all natural weight loss supplement with no side effects!”
