Every other Wednesday, Dr. Steve and Sam Francis share a series of resources with listeners that will help with your own fitness and nutrition program.

As we've talked about on a regular basis, the nutritional aspects of John's program are closely aligned with the South Beach Diet. Consider adding these titles to your library. Click on the book cover to purchase from Amazon.com.

Online resources that we've talked about and endorse your use of:

FreeDieting.com
(http://www.freedieting.com/tools)

Here you will find a number of calculators (daily calorie needs, bmi, ideal body weight, body fat percentage, calories burned, and target heart rate).

NutritionData.com
(http://www.nutritiondata.com/glycemic-index)

Here you will find the list of all foods and where they fall on the glycemic index. Keep in mind that John is largely staying to foods which fall at 55 or less. There are occasional exceptions, but this will help you calculate the best prospects for your own nutritional intake.
