Weight Loss Tips

August 31st, 2009

Losing weight is not an easy task. Many who wish to loose weight usually enroll in several weight loss programs. Joining a weight loss program or going on a diet is the best option available if you wish to lose weight fast. You should also consider buying Dr Oz’s book YOU: On a diet, if you haven’t done that already, it basically covers everything you need to know about dieting. Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen also developed a great diet plan that helped millions of people. I’d say Dr. Oz’s book is one of the best books that you will find anywhere. Make sure to read the tips about losing belly fat on page 11. You will also find a lot of dieting guidelines on the Dr. Oz website!

I will keep adding some lists of healthy foods, I think that this can help more people. On my diet, I noticed that I feel a lot better when I exercise every day and take Aloe Vera (Honey). Really helped me a lot.

The Dr. Oz Show will soon air and the offical show website has been launched featuring a countdown till the air goes live.

On the site you will also findDr. Oz’s Ultimate Health Checklist and Dr. Oz’s diet plan.

Surprise: On September 8th you can apply for free tickets again, isn’t that great?

Dr. Oz will produce many special shows, where only couples, only men or only women can attend to. This is going to be very interesting.

On the official show website “Doctor Oz”, I also found out that the taping time for the very first show is on September 1th. If you call the ticket hotline and bring someone of the opposite sex, you can receive free tickets, but I’d say you should hurry, because the tickets are probably all booked by now, considering that the 1st September isn’t that far away.

You can call the Dr. Oz Show ticket-line Monday-Friday, 9am – 5pm at:

(212) 664-3056. Press Option 4 for “The Dr. Oz Show.”

Taping Times of the Dr. Oz Show

I struggle to find out when the taping times are, the official site says:

10:15 a.m. and 2:15p.m., but they also said before that the 2nd show of the day is at 1:15 p.m.

Drink Red Wine Or Take The Red Wine Pill

August 24th, 2009

Moderate consumption of red wine is healthy. Why is it healthy?

a) Because of the alcohol

b) Because of Resveratrol

Yes, Alcohol does have health benefits. Dr. Oz says that even 1 scotch per day is healthy.

Resveratrol, the red wine pill, has many health benefits. Actually it can help you to do many things at once.

It can help you to prevent many diseases, it’s a great anti-oxidant, it will improve your mood, increase your energy and metabolism and best of all increase your lifespan. All of this sounds incredible, but studies show that Resveratrol is really effective. It is a natural compound that has been found in many plants and foods like chocolate, red wine and cinnamon. Athletes take Resveratrol to run longer distances in a shorter time.

In clinical trials it is being used to treat certain forms of cancer (colon cancer) and other diseases. It may also help to prevent Alzheimer. The french paradox says that the French have a lower rate of heart diseases and Alzheimer than Americans because of their high consumption of red wine.

Cheers!

Dr. Oz about Oprah’s Thyroid Problems

August 24th, 2009

In one of Oprah’s shows (january 5th show), Dr. Oz was trying to help Oprah with her thyroid problems.
Thyroid problems can really cause a lot of problems. I myself suffer from a thyroid diseases (hypothyroid) and know that I will probably have to take medications for the rest of my life.

Dr. Oz said that Oprah has a special thyroid problem and that it can’t be treated easily.

Well, just to be clear, your thyroid problems aren’t the usual thyroid problems. And by that I mean although the ailment itself is common, there’s two issues that can happen with your thyroid. It can underperform—that’s hypothyroidism—or it can overperform—hyperthyroidism. But your issue, Oprah, and you’re so unique, is you were having a frat party in your thyroid. You were having a bunch of different things happening at once. And so you have these two ailments: One was stimulating the thyroid with antibodies; the other one was actually waging war on the thyroid. And so when those two level out, they actually can bring you into a place of peace—which, interestingly, is where you are right now.

A very interesting post (especially for me and others who suffer from thyroid problems) at about.com reveals that Oprah’s thyroid problems weren’t actually cured.
Oprah might suffer from an underlying adrenal fatigue disorder + thyroid problems.

You can read the full report here.

About Carbohydrates, Refined Foods and Whole-grain

August 24th, 2009

Sugar and foods with a lot of carbohydrate and refined foods increase your blood sugar immediately.
Because our body does not know what to do with all the sugar, it will release too much insulin.
Insulin will now lower you blood sugar levels too much and you will feed fatigued.

Our brain requires a lot of sugar, but eating a lot of sugar will have negative effects.

The human body is programmed to process foods like veggies, wholegrain foods and fruits. Therefore, you should eat a lot of wholegrain foods.
Replace all the white-flour foods!

Poll: Are you going to watch “The Dr. Oz Show”?

August 23rd, 2009

I would like to know if you are going to watch the Dr. Oz Show?

The duo Oprah-Oz was really awesome, so “The Dr. Oz Show” will be different. I’ve been listening to Dr. Oz on the radio and he really tries to help and solve a lot of health questions. What I like about him is that he really gives answers that help, he’s able to explain it in simple words even if it’s a highly complex topic.

What do you like about him?
Are you going to watch his show?
