Dr. Brent Hella
, an Internal Medicine physician who specializes in disease management with a special interest in diabetes and weight loss joins It Takes Two in the studio along with
Tracey Dillon
, a Licensed Registered Dietitian from
ima Healthcare
to talk about summer weight gain.
Ironically, at the time of year when we have the greatest ability to exercise outdoors and eat garden fresh food – we are gaining weight instead of losing it.
Fair food, BBQs, erratic schedules, vacations and a tendency to drink more alcohol are all factors that contribute. Dr. Hella even notes that activities like mowing and gardening are exercise, but a very low impact exercise and not getting our heart rates to an adequate speed to make up for the additional caloric intake.
When the phone lines open up for Dr. Hella and Tracey, listeners are curious about things like “sugar-free” or artificial sweetener based drinks. Some are better than others, but nothing is better than clean water. There are side effects to artificial sweeteners that might surprise you. Dr. Hella sheds some light on those side effects during our conversation.
Tracey gets some questions about what is an appropriate diet for someone who is looking to not only lose weight – but keep it off. Some great tips that include suggestions such as portion control and whether or not a keto diet is good for the average person.
