Karla is a senior working towards her health education specialist certification. When Karla hit 180 pounds on the scale she took matters into her own hands to lose weight. At first she was able to lose weight in a pretty healthy manner, but then things started spiraling out of control. She ended up losing half her body weight before she was able to get things back under control. She explained that working with a psychologist who understood what she was going through made all the difference for her. She is now at a healthy weight of around 120 pounds. You can follow Karla’s story on her blog www.healthfulbitesblog.com. Karla will also be doing a regular segment with us on the show, so be on the lookout for that.

Randy Karp Says You’re Misinformed About Food

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on nutrition and human behavior expert Randy Karp joined us. He talked all about how we are totally misinformed about food. For example he says cooking with unstable vegetable oils is bad for you. Instead cook in high heat with extra virgin coconut oil. And be careful with your olive oil. Most olive oils are devoid of health benefits, especially when heated. When asked if he could only eat one food he said it would be avocado. Regarding fish he said that the pro’s of eating fish are that they eat algae which is good for you but the cons are that they also live in water that has toxins. So choose your fish wisely. On his website he has lots of information about healthy eating and healthy foods. He produces his own line of extra virgin olive oil which he makes in very small quantities to ensure quality. And a new product called Just Like Sugar that has only 1 calorie in 5 lbs. You can learn more about his views in his book Misinformed About Food or on his website www.rkinformedliving.com

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the importance of getting an annual mammogram. If you have a family history of breast cancer please get a mammogram every year.

We know a lot of women don’t get these done because they are afraid of what they might find or false positives or because they don’t have health insurance. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
