Anyone see yesterdays show, where Dr Oz came down on Colleen(she weighed in at (703,bs ) about only losing one pound over one month. She wasnt getting it, so he took her to his hospital where he works and took her down to the basement and showed her how obesity kills. Youd have to see the show to know what his point was..........she was sticking her head in the sand, while carrying around an extrea 500 lbs while having blood pressure of 180/110........her vitals were mind boggeling and scared the hel out of Dr Oz , and shes still dragging her feet..................
Kind of a scarry show, but for me, it did help me understand the amount of damage that fat causes an obese person........They literally had the mans organs layed out on the table, after his autopsy..........Fat and obesity killed him and took a toll on his liver, which he has cirrosis of the liver, yet never drank, fat on the belly, and his heart had severe swelling and heart disease, This body was ravaged and he was only 100 lbs overweight....Colleen was 5 times more overweight that he was.............
Trust me, next time I think about wanting those Twinkies, Ill remember that show........talk about shocking the shat out of you, just watch the show, its on DrOZ.com and look for yesterdays show, the one with the 700 lb woman and autopsy
Seeing the effects of obesity really wakes you up..............Lloyd

I wanted to see that show, but I missed it. Sorry (not much of a Dr. Oz fan). But it sounds like it was a really great one to see.0

btw, i HATE twinkies0 -
Wow. I'll definitely remember this next time I feel the urge to binge..atleast I hope I will.0

Didn't see it but I love Dr. Oz!0

The cream filling in twinkies is animal lard..... Gross.0

You have deff peaked my interest. It's always the visuals that get me to stick to the straight and narrow!0

Dang, I was really wanting to watch that one, but I forgot to set my DVR. I wonder if there is anywhere to watch it on the web. I see first hand at the hosptal how morbid obesity affects people's health and that is a huge motivator for me. I know that if I continue on the path I'm going to head that direction.0

Actually, they are made with eggs, but no longer beef fat....so technically ovo-vegetarian...still!!!0 -
Thanks for posting !0

I can't get the videos to work! Only the part 4 video works for me. Parts 1, 2, and 3 just keep looping back to the advertisement before the video. Is anyone else having problems or is it just me?! lol0
-
i feel as though the link to the videos . . that those videos were missing bits and pieces . . . i didnt get the full effect that i feel everyone else did0

I was able to watch parts 1 and 2, but part 3 won't work for me. It just skips right to 4.

Didn't see that one but I saw the one day before yesterday where he compared Carbs to Cocaine. VERY interesting show
As an obese person I've NEVER liked twinkies...such a cliche.0 -
Also, has anyone else who's ever tried a Twinkie noticed that they actually taste rather salty? For a cake, anyway. Blech.0
-
Hmm that's interesting - I'll have to look at the links later when I'm not at work. Thanks for posting. There are also some good shows on Discovery Health about people with super obesity - it is amazing how much the human body will tolerate - and what it won't!
I never liked twinkies much either. At least not the yellow cream filled ones. Ew. But obviously there are a gazillion other bad things I do like!!0 -
bump...to watch later0

I will say this....If that doesnt wake her up...
Then Dr Oz should insist she speak to a Psychologist (specilizing in Weight disorders) she is using food satify something (psychological). Just my opinion...0 -
Aw crap - we deleted that one to make room on the DVR.0
