You May Have to Eat More to Lose Weight!
May 17, 2008 by Dr. Chris Axon · Leave a Comment
One of the most common problems with dieting is that people think that they need to starve themselves. An interesting thing happens when we reduce our food intake. If you you take in too few calories, your body thinks that it is starving. This is similar to what happens to hibernating animals. This in turn creates a significant slowing in your metabolism which actually speeds up the storage of fat in the body aka preparing for hibernation. By just eating more food, you can get out of starvation mode and back into fat burning mode.
Stevia…Natures other sweetener!
May 16, 2008 by Dr. Chris Axon · Leave a Comment
Stevia, for those of you who do not know, is an herb that has been used for centuries in other countries as a form of natural sweetener. This form of sweetener can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and should be used sparingly. It is important to note that it has its own distinct flavor and takes some getting used to as with many of the “artificial sweeteners”. Some say it has a hint of licorice flavor. I personally have used it for years. As with artificial sweeteners, this natural sugar substitute does not affect blood sugar levels, so it is safe for use by diabetes patients. This is God’s natural sugar substitute.
Insurance…on the way out?

Insurance as we know it is becoming a thing of the past. The powers that be are raising our deductibles , increasing our out of pocket expenses while reducing benefits. While I don’t agree with the process, as a business person, i certainly understand why.
As a doctor I insurance abused on a daily basis, from both the patients and the doctors. As patients, we go to the emergency at a moments notice for insignificant treatments, such as headaches, back pain and upset stomaches. We rack up claims for conditions that if you just took it easy, would other wise go away on their own. Read more
