Remember to eat your protein!

I am interested in starting a support group for post-bariatric patients who are still struggling with their weight. Tell me what you think about this idea?

It is not unusual for friends and family members to become uncomfortable with your new weight and to try to consciously or unconsciously sabotage your progress Today we had an example of this when one of my patients who recently lost 100lbs informed me that her husband thought her new body was ugly. Do you have diet saboteurs in your life?

Counting carbohydrates is essential for controlling diabetes. Recently one of my new type II Diabetic patient decided to take control of his health. He began counting his carbohydrates and he kept his carbohydrate number below a certain number that we had originally agreed upon. In addition he began drinking a fiber supplement prior to his two heaviest meals and within 4 weeks he was able to stop taking his 25 units of INSULIN. (I am so proud of him !)

The key to weight loss is change in diet. The maintenance of weight loss is exercise.

The purpose of exercise is to maintain your weight loss not as a means to lose weight. Most people can not do the extreme amount of exercise it would take to lose a large amount of weight. Remember you have to burn approximately 3600 calories to lose a single pound of fat.

Today I was talking to a young woman who for the last year was very committed to an exercise program that required her to exercise 1 hour a day 6 days a week along with a calorie restricted diet. During that year she did not lose weight even though she closely followed the program. Have you even been in that situation?

What is fructose? Fructose is a very sweet sugar relatively inexpensive. It is used in baking because it browns very well in baked goods.

Researchers found that after drinking a fructose beverage(eg carbonated cola drink etc) , the brain doesn't register the feeling of being FULL as it does when simple glucose (lemonaide with sugar) is consumed. This may be reason why children are still very hungry after they drank a large cola drink.

The role of insulin is to drive sugar into the cells of the body where it is used as a source of energy. If this energy (sugar) is not used by the cells or is more than is needed, it is converted into an energy storage form known as FAT.

As you know our low fat high carbohydrate diet has not been successful. Obesity and diabetes rates are soaring!
Dr. Richard K Bernstein , author of Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution and others now believe that it is not fat but carbohydrates, that are making us sick and heavy due to elevated insulin levels.

If obesity is now officially considered a chronic illness why are you not talking to your doctor?

Recently I had the pleasure of listening to lectures hosted by Stanford Medical School and the University of Calif San Francisco Medical School on the subject of OBESITY. They all agreed that our epidemic of obesity is more complicated than simply calories in and calories out.

Dr. Daphne Favroth is accepting new patients. Give us a call at 9720669-8400 to schedule an appointment. We have Saturday appointments for working families.

We understand that many people do not go to the doctor because they have high insurance deductibles or no insurance. So we have developed a direct pay program that allows you to know up front what your healthcare cost is before you visit the doctor. Give us a call at 972-669-8400 to learn about this program.

We have finally corrected the phone system after 5 tries. Now when you call the office a live person will answer the phone by the third ring. Tell us what you think!!!!

Many of our children of color are developing light patches on their faces. The most common cause of these light patches is due to SUN exposure. (eg sunburn, eczema etc) Remember to use SUNBLOCK SP 50 OR HIGHER on your child, particularly on the face, to prevent exacerbating these patches. It will take months to see any improvement in their skin so prevention is the key.

A great shampoo for swimmers is Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three because it removes Chlorine and Impurities after your swim. I talked to a hair care specialist who also recommends that you apply the conditioner prior to the swim to block the absorption of chlorine. After the swim you are to shampoo the hair with Paul Mitchel Shampoo Three followed by the conditioner. This will add more protection to your hair during the summer. Again remember to use cool water to rinse the conditioner out of the hair to close the hair follicles.
