In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we discuss the importance of food selection in the weight loss process.  Most of the attention is placed on calories alone, and very little attention is given to the “type” of food consumed.  There are also many misconceptions about what foods are “healthy.”  Many people end up eating all the wrong “types” of foods, which may be negatively affecting their weight loss goals.  In addition to the type of food consumed, daily meal intake pattern is equally important during the weight loss process.

In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show, we discuss recent research that indicates resistance training, even as little as 2 days per week can improve risk factors for heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.  Normal aging typically leads to a decline in hormones levels, which can results in the loss of lean muscle mass.  This loss of muscle tissue can increase the risk of developing metabolic disorders such as Type 2 Diabetes.  Resistance training can counter act the decline in lean muscle mass and decrease the risk of heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
