Q. I feel like a 'treat-aholic'. How do I cut out junk food forever? Mary-Kate

A. Hey Mary-Kate. Thanks for the question. Treats are tasty, but they take their toll. Don't they? I'm not an extreme kind of trainer. I normally recommend keeping the not-so-good for you snacks to under ten percent of your daily consumption. Can you do that? Would you be able to ensure that throughout the day you choose plenty of fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains, and non-caloric beverages? If so...just pick one favorite treat per day and enjoy the heck out of it.

If though, having one treat sends you on a binger...you may want to gradually cut them out almost completely. I imagine you have a specific list of 'treats' you prefer each day. Make a detailed list of them and then set your goal to delete one each week. For example. Your treats may tend to be: muffin in the morning, chips at lunch, 100 calorie snack pack of cookies in the afternoon, and frozen yogurt after dinner.

Start by ditching the morning muffin. Replace it with Light Wheat toast and sugar free preserves to let you start the day with something sweet yet healthy. Do the same for the rest of your treats weekly, and you'll slowly wean yourself away. And just FYI, I believe in having cake on your birthday. Cutting anything out 100% often leads to insanity. Don't do that to yourself. My best to you, Fitz.

Q. What's up Fitz! Do I really have to wear shoes in the gym shower? What are the odds I'll catch Athlete's Foot? Jackson

A. Ummm. Jackson. Yeah. You need to wear those shoes. The fungus that causes Athlete's Foot adores warm damp places, so the odds are actually pretty good you'd catch this itchy infection in the gym shower. In fact, it's hard to conjure up a better location for this germ. Think about it. Dozens or hundreds of guys each day strutting around naked on that soapy tile. Not to be gross, but folks do some nasty things in the shower. Do you honestly want to smear your tootsies in all of that shower gunk? Not me.

Invest in a silly pair of flip flops and keep them with you. It'll be the best $1.99 you've ever spent.
