Summary
In this episode we take inspiration from the culture of the 1980's to teach the concept of viewing the world through the goggles of a fitness minded person to get active!In the late 80's to early 90's kids use to use the term PHAT to describe a girl who was Pretty Hot And Tempting (PHAT), Dr. Ray, however, has a different meaning for the acronym PHATa€¦this acronym will open your eyes to the endless possibilities for activity in an average day.A Also in this episode we discuss the 20 "Metabolic Off Switches" as described by Dr. Robert K. Cooper in his book, Flip The Switch, Lose the Weight! The 20 Off Switches are:Starting the Day On the Wrong FootGiving in to activity inertiaWeakening muscle fibersLiving in the darkStarving yourself of oxygenBecoming dehydratedMaxing out on caffeineOverimbibingSlumping your way to fat gainRaising body temperatureLiving with hormonal imbalancesTensing upGiving into stressSkipping meals or snacksFalling into the sugar blahsGetting stuck on the fat trainStarving for proteinAccidentally overeatingCollapsing when evening comesNot getting enough sleepA

| 0:00.0 | Alright, hello everybody, it's Dr. Ray Heimisch, and I'm joined here in the virtual studio |
| 0:25.7 | with none other than Blife Allberg, hey Blife? |
| 0:27.6 | Hi guys, how's everybody doing today? I hope everybody's having a great fat-cutting day. |
| 0:31.5 | I'm sure they are. They're a little bit angry with us for taking such a long hiatus. |
| 0:35.3 | Oh, guys, you have to understand it's summertime and we do need a little teeny bit of time off. |
| 0:41.7 | No excuses, Blife, no excuses. |
| 0:43.7 | No, you know what? You're going to put out regular biweekly podcasts. |
| 0:50.3 | That is our ultimate goal. We have to keep these things coming for people because a lot of |
| 0:54.4 | our listeners report that they rely on these podcasts for their kind of biweekly motivation, |
| 0:59.2 | so to speak. It's what keeps them on track and we need to keep people on track. |
| 1:02.4 | You know what? You're right. No excuses. |
| 1:05.9 | Okay, so here's my idea for today's podcast, okay? My brother posted on Facebook. He was walking |

| 1:31.3 | listeners. I don't know how things go. I'm not a terribly cultured fella in the sense that I've |
| 1:35.7 | never traveled outside the US. I don't know what it was like in the 80s in those countries. |
| 1:40.4 | But here, flat tops were like the rage. It was like that flat top haircut. |
| 1:45.2 | Yeah, I remember. Oh yeah, I'm sure you remember. |
| 1:48.5 | You know, it's funny. Is I saw somebody with one of those just two or three days ago? |
| 1:52.9 | You know what? Lauren posted, they just saw it in the mall. A couple of different kids had |
| 1:57.1 | flat tops. And the person I saw was a child, probably like a 12-year-old. |
