[2:23] Next time

[2:42] this week on Your Total Health,

[2:45] >> the Battle of the Bulge, celebrity

[2:46] style.

[2:47] >> I'm frustrated right now. I worked

[2:49] really, really hard.

[2:50] >> Sometimes losing weight is

[2:51] unpredictable.

[2:52] >> Behind the drama.

[2:53] >> Oh, come on.

[2:54] >> The fat smashing diet of VH1's Celebrity

[2:58] Fit Club. For young girls to get a shot

[3:02] or not. A tough decision about a new

[3:04] vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. And

[3:08] oh yeah, let's do it.

[3:10] >> Child's play at the gym. I give it a

[3:13] try. Go girl. Go.

[3:18] Now, your total health with Hoda Cotby.

[3:22] >> Hi everybody, I'm Hoda Cotby. Welcome to

[3:23] your total health. We are going to kick

[3:25] off our program by taking a look at

[3:27] another program, one that ingeniously

[3:29] combines two national obsessions,

[3:32] dieting and celebrity watching. Yeah,

[3:34] I'm talking about VH1's Celebrity Fit

[3:37] Club, the program that pits overweight

[3:39] stars against each other in a race to

[3:41] lose the flab and rekindle the fab.

[3:46] If you think losing weight is hard

[3:47] enough, try doing it on national

[3:50] television.

[3:51] >> You're on my time right now. Let's go.

[3:54] >> That's the challenge these out of shape

[3:56] stars are taking on as part of VH1's

[3:58] Celebrity Fit Club. Now in its fourth

[4:02] season, the show follows eight

[4:03] celebrities as they battle the bulge in

[4:05] a no holds barred competition.

[4:08] >> Who are you Italian sausage stud?

[4:12] This year's cast includes Vincent

[4:14] Pastori, last seen getting whacked on

[4:16] the Sopranos. Oh god.

[4:18] >> Weight loss poster child Carney Wilson.

[4:20] >> Is it normal to be like a little

[4:21] nauseous?

[4:22] >> And Ted Lange. Remember Isaac from the

[4:25] loco?

[4:26] >> Yeah. I've been on the water so much in

[4:28] my career. Uh, margarita. You want a

[4:30] margarita?

[4:31] >> Each week they are held to account by a

[4:33] panel of experts including a

[4:34] psychiatrist, a drill sergeant, and diet

[4:38] doctor Ian Smith.

[4:40] Can we finally put to rest that it's not

[4:43] about being big bone?

[4:46] >> Alongside weekly workout challenges, the

[4:48] contestants are asked to follow Dr.

[4:50] Smith's diet book, The Fat Smash Diet.

[4:53] >> I have to tell you that uh that diet, I

[4:56] mean, my body is very angry at you.

[5:03] But the final test of their progress is

[5:05] measured by numbers on a customdesigned

[5:08] scale. Activate the scale.

[5:14] >> And as with any weight loss plan, it's

[5:16] the losers who come out on top.

[5:22] >> And here to talk about Celebrity Fit

[5:24] Club and his book, The Fat Smash Diet,

[5:26] is Dr. Ian Smith. Dr. Smith, so nice to

[5:29] have you here.

[5:30] >> Good to be here with you. that celebrity

[5:31] fit club looks like a ball. Is Is it

[5:34] tough to get these actors and actresses

[5:36] to participate to play?

[5:39] >> Uh I would say by and large most of them

[5:41] >> Yeah.

[5:42] >> sign up and do it.

[5:44] >> Uh and the reason I think is because

[5:45] listen they are bearing their souls to

[5:47] millions of Americans.

[5:48] >> They are admitting what their

[5:49] vulnerabilities are. They are weighing

[5:51] themselves in front of a national

[5:52] audience. So most of them are motivated

[5:54] by that alone. Uh there are a couple who

[5:57] kind of fall off the wagon and you see

[5:59] those those train wrecks, but by and

[6:01] large these guys are very motivated. The

[6:02] cast we have now

[6:04] >> I've always said is the best cast we've

[6:05] ever had, not just from the level of

[6:07] celebrity, but also from their

[6:09] motivation and their commitment.

[6:10] >> Now Carne Wilson, didn't she have the

[6:11] gast gastric bypass and she's trying to

[6:13] lose more weight.

[6:14] >> She used the gastric bypass poster

[6:16] child. But here's this is why I'm happy

[6:18] Carney's on the show this season because

[6:19] people think gastric bypass is an

[6:21] immediate permanent answer and it's not.

[6:23] It's a conduit to the answer. And what

[6:26] she did was she did the gastric bypass,

[6:28] but then she took on bad behaviors

[6:30] again.

[6:31] >> So, we're trying to teach her that there

[6:32] are behaviors you need to explore and

[6:35] adopt that will help you afterwards.

[6:38] >> Is that is the show really real? I mean,

[6:39] it looked really real when you're when

[6:41] you're up there talking. Is Is that

[6:43] really happening? These conversations,

[6:44] >> the show is as real as the two of us

[6:47] sitting here talking. I mean, it is

[6:48] absolutely there's nothing that's

[6:50] scripted. They come up, they have

[6:52] issues, we respond. There are dramatic

[6:54] moments where we disagree. Car and I

[6:56] actually get into a big fight. You do

[6:57] >> about gastric bypass this season. Uh,

[6:59] but it's real. It's just the tapes roll.

[7:01] >> Tell me how Isaac is from the Love Boat

[7:03] because I love Isaac.

[7:04] >> Ted Lange is a warrior. I mean, he is 58

[7:07] years old. The second oldest. Vinnie

[7:09] Ptor from the Sopranos is the oldest of

[7:11] 60.

[7:12] >> But Ted is the second oldest. And he was

[7:14] such a trooper. He will motivate

[7:16] hopefully baby boomers because he does

[7:18] so well. Now, we have a lot of uh people

[7:20] who come up on the show with a book.

[7:22] Your book's called The Fat Smash Diet.

[7:24] Ian, what makes this book unique?

[7:26] >> The book is unique uh for several

[7:27] reasons. First being that it's a real

[7:29] book.

[7:30] >> It allows you to eat real foods. And one

[7:32] of the problems with many diet books is

[7:33] that people have to eat restricted

[7:35] regimens or they have to spend a lot of

[7:37] money on foods. This is regular foods

[7:39] you would typically buy. It's also very

[7:41] flexible. It allows you to make

[7:43] substitutions.

[7:44] >> The biggest thing people say there's no

[7:45] calorie counting. All you have to do is

[7:47] eat off of the list of foods at the

[7:49] amount that's prescribed.

[7:50] >> And exercise is big in your book, too,

[7:52] right?

[7:52] >> Exercise should should be big in

[7:54] everyone's book because it's just not

[7:55] about losing weight. It's about

[7:57] longevity.

[7:58] >> And I like that it's in a paperback

[7:59] form. And you did this wise, so it would

[8:00] be more accessible for everybody to buy

[8:02] it.

[8:02] >> I told the publisher, if I'm going to do

[8:04] this book, it has to be in paperback. It

[8:06] has to be small. It has to be

[8:08] inexpensive because I don't believe diet

[8:09] should be expensive. And now is the

[8:11] book.

[8:11] >> Can I tell you what I love about the

[8:12] book? Recipes in the back. everybody

[8:15] like and they look pretty simple even

[8:16] for somebody like me and these are great

[8:19] yeah great recipes

[8:20] >> no people people love the construct you

[8:21] know the the four phases of the program

[8:23] are the front of the book and then you

[8:25] have recipes that correspond to the

[8:26] phases but the idea is listen dieting

[8:28] should not be complicated and I wanted

[8:30] to make it simple and I think that the

[8:32] you know the celebrities have shown it

[8:33] and others who've done so well I mean

[8:35] it's bearing out

[8:36] >> so the TV show the book so you're really

[8:38] not very busy you're not really doing

[8:39] much is that right

[8:41] >> I'm playing golf most of the time

[8:42] >> Dr. Smith, thank you so much for joining

[8:44] us. We really appreciate it. And up

[8:46] next, celebrities share a few of their

[8:48] health secrets after this.

[8:51] Plus, in the war on cervical cancer, a

[8:53] new vaccine for girls. What doctors are

[8:56] recommending, and an old-fashioned fad

[9:00] becomes a new way to help you lose those

[9:03] inches. Oh my god. Third grade

[9:05] flashback. Third grade flashback.

[9:07] And now it's time to test your health

[9:09] IQ. The average American woman is 5'4 in

[9:14] tall. How much does she weigh? Is it A

[9:18] 135 lb, B 145, C 155, or D65?

[9:25] The answer in just a moment.

[9:26] >> This segment is brought to you by

[9:28] flufacts.com where you can learn how to

[9:30] spot the signs of flu.

[9:31] >> So, what's your favorite gift, Dad?

[9:33] >> Wow, that's a really tough one. I think

[9:36] it's a tossup between the dad fell

[9:39] asleep on the couch pillowcase

[9:42] and the very stylish dad tried to cook

[9:45] apron.

[9:48] >> Um, aren't we forgetting something?

[9:50] >> Oh, right. The perennial holiday

[9:52] favorite. Dad left the turkey on the

[9:54] counter serving tray.

[9:55] >> If only everybody knew they could put

[9:57] pictures on just about anything by

[9:59] uploading photos to walgreens.com.

[10:02] >> We are family.

[10:29] We are family.

[10:32] Closed captioning provided by

[10:35] >> The secret to great holiday food is

[10:37] Swanson broth. Swanson starts with all

[10:39] natural chicken stock and is simmered

[10:40] with the flavors of garden vegetables

[10:42] and herbs. The secret is Swanson broth.

[10:46] And now the answer to this week's Health

[10:48] IQ. The average American woman is 5'4 in

[10:51] tall. So how much does she weigh? D

[10:54] nearly 165 lb. That's up from the 1960s

[10:59] when she was 5 foot three and weighed

[11:01] 140 lbs.

[11:04] As if girls don't have enough to think

[11:05] about, this school year, female students

[11:07] are facing a brand new decision. And it

[11:10] is a sensitive one. Whether to get

[11:12] vaccinated against the sexually

[11:14] transmitted disease that causes cervical

[11:16] cancer. The vaccine is approved for

[11:18] girls as young as nine. It is

[11:21] controversial and for some families a

[11:23] deeply personal choice. Here's Mike

[11:25] Huffman. Is it good for life or will she

[11:28] have to come back and get

[11:29] >> Ann Actton is a mom on a mission.

[11:32] >> To me, it didn't matter whether or not I

[11:34] had to pay for it or the insurance paid

[11:36] for it. Uh, she was getting the shot.

[11:39] >> She is Actton's 17-year-old daughter

[11:41] Britney. And the shot is Gardil, the new

[11:45] Mercine for the human papilloma virus,

[11:47] the most common sexually transmitted

[11:50] disease and leading cause of cervical

[11:52] cancer. Obviously, abstinence is the

[11:55] best protection for any sort of sexually

[11:57] transmitted disease, and I don't want

[11:59] anybody to think otherwise. It's just

[12:01] one time. That's it. It's only just one

[12:04] time.

[12:05] >> Actton, a school teacher, knows about

[12:07] HPV all too well. She may look healthy,

[12:10] but she's undergoing chemotherapy for

[12:12] cervical cancer that has spread to her

[12:15] lymph nodes. So, she wanted to be among

[12:17] the first in the country to bring in her

[12:19] daughter to get the firstofits-kind

[12:21] vaccine to prevent it. Britney clearly

[12:24] does not like needles, but her mother

[12:26] did not have to twist her arm to get

[12:28] this shot.

[12:29] >> See, that's all

[12:30] >> so bad.

[12:31] >> Even though my mom's sick, it hurts

[12:33] everybody. It hurts. It hurts our whole

[12:35] family. And if I don't have cancer, then

[12:39] then my family won't have to suffer

[12:41] either. Britney falls into the age group

[12:44] between 9 and 26 that a Centers for

[12:47] Disease Control committee recently

[12:48] recommended get Gardil. It's going to be

[12:51] a little thick.

[12:52] >> MK says Gardil could reduce the number

[12:54] of new cervical cancer cases worldwide

[12:57] from half a million to 150,000. Health

[13:01] care experts agree it's a crucial first

[13:03] step in winning the war against HPV. I

[13:07] think the HPV vaccine is one of the best

[13:09] things that's happened to women's

[13:11] healthcare in years. It has the

[13:13] potential to save thousands of lives in

[13:15] the United States.

[13:16] >> But this isn't just a story about

[13:18] science. It's also about politics. Last

[13:21] spring, when conservative groups heard

[13:23] about the vaccine, they balked.

[13:26] >> This is not a a silver bullet that is

[13:28] going to make uh suddenly make sex safe.

[13:31] They worried the vaccine might give

[13:33] teens a license to have sex, but

[13:36] ultimately they decided to endorse the

[13:38] vaccine.

[13:39] >> And what we did was to reach out to them

[13:41] and have conversations about um HPV and

[13:44] and what the vaccine was all about.

[13:47] >> Still, that relationship may be put to

[13:50] the test. Some state legislators are now

[13:52] considering the issue of mandatory

[13:54] school vaccinations for young girls, and

[13:57] that conservative group say they will

[13:59] not endorse. But right now for Anne

[14:02] Actton and her daughter, the choice

[14:04] about whether to get the vaccination is

[14:06] clear.

[14:07] >> I know I'll sleep better at night

[14:08] knowing she is protected at at least

[14:11] against this one cancer. Maybe not from

[14:14] them all, but at least this one.

[14:18] >> Coming up, a new twist on an old

[14:21] favorite.

[14:21] >> Can I ask you about your waistline just

[14:23] because it is so Wait, look at how tiny

[14:25] this waist is.

[14:26] >> Plus, celebrities share their secrets

[14:28] for beating stress.

[14:30] Okay, first answer unedited.

[14:32] >> Working with that left hand.

[14:36] >> Thanks for the death, Mom.

[14:38] >> Simple everyday moments can be the

[14:41] perfect time to talk to your kids about

[14:42] not smoking so you don't have to plan a

[14:45] big discussion.

[15:07] A lot of times being a teenager means

[15:09] living with labels,

[15:12] you know, like the ones other people

[15:13] give you and the ones you give yourself.

[15:18] If you're feeling overwhelmed by

[15:19] problems at school, at home, or anywhere

[15:42] up when you bought this. When are you

[15:44] going to let me give you a quote?

[17:01] >> The world of health is changing all the

[17:02] time. Let's check out some of the latest

[17:04] developments in Health Now. The risk of

[17:08] dying from cancer in this nation

[17:10] continues to drop. The latest data from

[17:12] the leading cancer organizations show

[17:14] from 1993 to 2003 annual death rates

[17:18] dropped 1.6% for men and8% for women.

[17:24] Researchers speculate the greater

[17:25] decline for men is due in part to their

[17:28] decrease in tobacco use. When it comes

[17:30] to superersized fast foods, your eyes

[17:33] may be smaller than your stomach. A

[17:35] study in the Annals of Internal Medicine

[17:36] finds people substantially underestimate

[17:39] the calories in large fast food meals

[17:42] and they don't have that same problem

[17:44] with small meals. And earlier in the

[17:47] program, we told you the height and

[17:48] weight of the average American woman.

[17:50] Now, for the average American man, in

[17:53] 1960, he was 5' 8 in tall and weighed

[17:57] 166 lb. Today he is 5' 9 and a half

[18:00] inches and a substantial

[18:03] 191 pounds and that's this week's

[18:06] health. Now

[18:09] here's a fact that may shock you. In

[18:10] this country every 8 seconds a baby is

[18:13] born. Now that's a lot of joy and a lot

[18:16] of work. Enough work in fact that more

[18:18] and more expectant couples are hiring

[18:20] professional help for extra support in

[18:22] the delivery room and beyond.

[18:25] Push.

[18:27] Lisa Gould Rubin's job is literally a

[18:30] labor of love.

[18:31] >> Deep breath in.

[18:33] >> For the past two decades, Lisa has been

[18:35] part handholder, part coach.

[18:37] >> Roll a little more forward so the baby's

[18:40] off your back. 20 years ago, people had

[18:43] no idea what it was that I did. They

[18:44] thought I worked for the unions. I said

[18:46] I did professional labor support. Lisa

[18:49] is a doula. According to the term, it

[18:52] means mothering the mother. It's

[18:54] somebody that is hired to help a couple

[18:57] through labor and delivery. I am both a

[19:01] labor support doula and a postpartum

[19:03] doula so that I can help with continuity

[19:05] of care. Doulas are not midwives. They

[19:09] do not participate in the medical side

[19:11] of child birth. But when the time comes,

[19:13] they are advocates and comforters hired

[19:16] to help ensure that expectant moms and

[19:18] dads have a good, positive, and healthy

[19:22] birthing experience.

[19:23] >> My overall goal is to see how I can help

[19:27] everybody in that room work together

[19:29] universally to help that couple have the

[19:31] best birth experience possible. From

[19:34] emotional support to advice on breathing

[19:36] techniques, Adoula can help alleviate

[19:38] the pressure, especially for first-time

[19:41] parents like Sandro and Jen Prosperino.

[19:44] I had an issue during delivery where the

[19:46] baby's head was turned the wrong way and

[19:48] I wasn't progressing as fast as the

[19:50] doctors had wanted me to. So, our doula

[19:52] had the idea that if I would rotate on

[19:55] my side to go from side to side, it

[19:57] would free up the baby's head, which we

[19:59] did. And within an hour of doing that,

[20:01] we delivered the baby where the doctors

[20:03] were all ready to do a C-section at that

[20:05] point.

[20:06] >> But doulas are not always welcomed.

[20:09] >> When we told the doctor that we were

[20:10] going to use a doula, he was a little

[20:12] hesitant, tried to discourage us from

[20:14] using it.

[20:15] >> There are some physicians and others in

[20:17] the field who question the benefits of

[20:19] hiring a doula. Dr. Dr. Dennis McCroy,

[20:21] an OBGYn, is among those who are

[20:24] supportive, but he believes a doula's

[20:27] experience level plays a significant

[20:29] role in childbirth.

[20:30] >> In my experience, the newer doulas

[20:33] sometimes do not prepare the patient as

[20:36] well. And the for us, it feels like

[20:38] there's an extra person between the

[20:39] doctor and the patient. But in general,

[20:41] once they've made that decision, I

[20:42] support it. I think my overall

[20:44] experience has been good with doulas.

[20:46] >> The popularity of doulas has exploded in

[20:48] the past decade. Membership in the

[20:50] leading doula organization in North

[20:52] America has risen from 1,200 in 1995 to

[20:57] almost 6,000 in 2005.

[21:00] >> I really do believe that it doesn't

[21:01] really matter how you have a baby as

[21:04] long as you end up feeling good about

[21:06] it. That's what's the start to good

[21:08] family.

[21:34] >> and lock the door so no one bugs you.

[21:37] >> To relax, I like to lie down.

[26:12] hula hoops. What gave you the idea to

[26:13] take a regular old hula hoop and turn it

[26:16] into something more?

[26:17] >> Well, I've always loved a hula hoop. And

[26:20] after I had my baby, I had a lot of

[26:22] weight to lose. So, I had a plastic hoop

[26:24] at home and I would exercise with that.

[26:26] And I thought about this, you know, if I

[26:27] added some weight to this, it probably

[26:29] be really challenging.

[26:30] >> How much heavier is this than your

[26:52] that. Trust me, you're working that core

[26:55] of the body. Swing it.

[26:56] >> In fact, tests performed on the heavy

[27:20] grade flashback.

[27:21] >> Okay. So, how long do you have to go

[27:23] before you burn off the 8minute mile?

[27:25] >> 10 minutes of pooping. You do it

[27:26] beautiful. So, don't even think about

[27:28] it. You feel like that hoop to bend into
