Many have read my books about weight loss surgery, fundamentals of weight loss, and our workbook about the laparoscopic adjustable band — and as a result I have recorded several podcasts covering the basics of weight loss and the use of the LAP-BAND as a tool.

This project, however, is different. While I will certainly talk a lot about the charlatans of modern day weight loss, with their diets, supplements, and silliness — there is a whole lot more we will talk about.

Skeptics are wonderful folks. Some of my favorite podcasts can be found through itunes and they include:

Skeptoid by Brian Dunning
The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe
The Skeptic Zone Podcast
Skepchick podcast (I am not a chick, but this is a great podcast)
The Skeptic’s Guide 5 x 5
Skepticality
and — quackcast

Clearly there is overlap among all skeptics, and much has been written about some topics in “complementary medicine,” but there is always room for another.

So, thank you for reading — and I hope you enjoy the podcasts.
