A bit about Dr. Oz.

kprangernix07

I hate going in to the office anymore, so I usually work from home a lot these days, but near me is a lot of religious people at work. I refer to it as the bible belt. When they're not praising Jesus, they're praising dr. Oz. The raspberry ketones thing came up quite a few times. Don't dare tell a dr. Oz fan that raspberry ketones don't work. Also don't discuss the gravitational lensing effect caused by a supermassive black hole in the bible belt either. Hmm or mention the fact that the spear of destiny carried by bishop Adhemar in the siege of Jerusalem during the first crusade was a fake either. Nevermind the fact that the normans, who constantly teased the franks about it being a fake, were actually inside Constantinople and met the emperor who already had one before they even left for Antioch. Experience talking here folks.

WOW> How did we go from Dr. Oz to Constantinople!? Even Evil Kinevil couldnt make that jump!

Someone on here said "Dr. Oz is a Harvard-educated cardiac physician" and goes on to talk about how wrong he is. I love this in that there are quite a few people on MFP that parade their accreditations and certifications in order to make their opinions more important than everyone else.

And isn't every doctor pushing a certain pill or drug company in turn for cruises, pushbacks, commissions, or for govt grants and funding...

People watch him because so many think there is that magic pill somewhere that will solve all their problems.

so freaking true, there is no magic anything, you have work hard and be diligent and then good stuff happens for you.

If there was a magic pill or potion nobody would be overweight and somebody would be extremely filthy rich.

Okay, on a serious note I was at Nutrition Depo getting some BCAAs and this fairly large woman comes in and starts talking down to the associate stating that "It's absolutely ridiculous that you don't have raspberry ketone!".

-_-

In a way I feel bad for those that are always looking for a quick fix i.e."SafSlim, Raspberry Ketone, HydroxCut, Alli, etc." and aren't willing to put any hard work into changing their lifestyle. I feel like people such as doctor OZ should be ashamed that they prey on these people. He must make millions of dollars in endorsements for the weight loss industry. And it's like these people just throw their money away...

Don't worry. I know the name but have never seen or heard any of his advice.

I'm not sure how old you are, but this is very immature. I don't watch doctor Oz. I was just saying rather then focussing on yourselfs and positives, your focussing negative energy on this post .For example I gave my two cents, and everyone attacked me, and mocked me. Kind of feels like highschool, shouldn't this site be used for supporting eachother and focussing on improving ourselfs, not acting like hyenas? I can't believe you guys are still going at this. Who really cares enough about him to talk this much, but until you have a professionals advice like nutritionist, trainor or Doctor's then it's not for you to say whats right or whats wrong.

Are you a doctor, or did you go to medical school and study rigorously? I don't like thate everyone here is trying to loose weight, loosing weight is a postive thing, but yet your focussing your energy on Doctor Oz? Yes the media makes stuff up or makes things bigger then it seems but maybe it is his beliefs and works for him. How can you say it doesn't work when clearly all of our bodies are different and react differently. It sounds and looks like to me with all the negative posters that you guys are miserble with yourself. focus on being happy with yourself, your weightloss goals, rather than immature bashing on a person we probally will never even see in person.

still laughing.
