Dr Oz love him or hate him?

ronaldmcyd

I was unemployed for 6 months and I caught Dr Oz every day and things were good . But then that thing happened with the apple juice:explode: . He's been labeled an alamest:noway: and extremeist. People are saying hes gone hollywood:glasses: ....

ronaldmcyd

do you love him or hate him?

I think at one point, when his show first began, he may have been credible. However, I believe that now his show has turned "gimicky" and can even offer unhealthy advice ie exercising first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Apple juice?

never mind I don't want to know.

I don't hate him because I don't know him.

I don't trust anything he says on TV and if his name is associated with anything I stay away from it.

rhonniema

I still watch, only because there is nothing on TV.
Now he tends to contradict himself.

I thank him for introducing me to Zumba though.

SpecialKitty7

i enjoy him, i guess i'd say. He's entertaining, but i don't believe about half of what he says.

XxOMG_ITS_PINKxX

Dr. Oz is a D-bag

Papillon22

I thought he was very interesting when he was with Oprah, and liked him in an interview with Piers Morgan he did not long ago.
His tv show, on the other hand, made me lose all respect for him. I can't even stand watching the commercials for it, because every day he promises to give secrets for this or that (always related to weightloss). Such a shame!

I dont trust a man who is relying on ratings to keep him in the lifestyle that he has become accustomed to.

I liked Dr Oz until I noticed he became a pill pusher! If I was to take all the pills he pushes for this and for that how would that work? :huh:

Everyday is atleast 3 Huge buttles of pills. What's with all the pills?

ronaldmcyd

bad advice:sick:
contradictions:mad:
pill pusher:devil:

he would never say it ain't so...
:brokenheart:

yeah thats what I figured

but at least it's still entertaining

He does more harm than good, IMO. He spreads crap and non-truths about nutrition and has a huge following. I am not a fan.

Neither really!! But my husband pointed out the other day that Dr. Oz was contradicting himself. We were watching a show where he was recommending healthy snacks for a few people he had pulled out of the audience. One of the snacks contained low fat peanut butter. Just the day before he had stated that lowfat peanut butter was just as bad or worse for you then regular peanut butter. So which one is it??? Lol...

And his constant promotion of "new super foods", supplements, and weight loss tips is starting to get a little over the tip. I mean a person would go bats**t crazy trying to do them all. It's starting to sound like he is feeding into the "give me a quick fix/wonder pill" masses in our society. Hard work and diligence will get you farther then running around like a chicken with its head cutt off, trying the latest fads!!

caraiselite

i've never seen his show but he sounds like an idiot.

yeah the guy is a surgeon, not a nutritionist right? what does he know about fixing the body with out a knife anyway

Italian_Buju

I dont mind him, but find all those fancy demos he does pointless......

I remember watching one where he was pouring boiling water into fine crystal and the glasses broke, trying to demonstrate what happens when you have heartburn or something, and all I could think was:

Um, no, you just demonstrated what happens when you pour boiling water into fine crystal glass :huh:

When Oz was doing his own research and talking about things HE actually knew about...he was ok. Since his "team" took over the research and he got some big advertising backers, he has lost credibility. Now they just put words up on the tele prompter and he reads them. They take little things and blow them all out of proportion, contradict other shows, and in my opinion make sales pitches for "snake oil". They don't "get into" subjects, they just kind of gloss over and rush thru them and offer a pill/powder/drop for a solution. Amazingly enough 99% of the pills/powders/drops can be found at your local Walgreens... All the recipes used can be found on the Weight Watchers web site....if you are paying for the service. In my opinion he has sold out.

Broscience. Broscience everywhere.



he is (almost) as bad as Yahoo Health

Pepper2185

Can't stand him, personally.

Sox90716

I don't hate him. I think he's another manufactured celebrity like Dr. Phil and the Jersey Shore cast.

Bobby_Clerici

There is some value in his advice, but I never get the impression he is speaking from the heart like Jack Lalanne did for 60 years.
The passion is not there - too programmed - too careful in his topics and presentation. Too polished.

jedibunny

The man is a crony. No thanks.

Scalesareforthefishes

So many pills and supplements O_O
He annoys me.
And when he has hungry girl on there.. don't even get me started about her. No wonder she's hungry.

This. Hate is a strong word, but there's a special place in hell for people who lie about health and nutrition to idiots.

Dave198lbs

he's a *kitten* available to anyone willing to pay him

Suziq2you

Walking, talking infomercial.

loneworg

i've never seen his show but he sounds like an idiot.

your damn lucky then, the guy is an idiot.

NBabi91

I don't like how all of his healthy eating seems just to be diet gimmicks and quick tips that aren't healthy life choices

funkyspunky872

I've only seen a few shows and was quite astounded by all the pills he pushed. I thought some of his info seemed credible.. I'd read it before on reliable medicine websites like webMD.... But other than a snippet of fact or two, he's like the ultimate fad diet.

Strive2BLean

I love how he explains things and the visuals he uses. He is Hollywood though. I would like to know where he finds the time to be a brilliant surgeon.

alexbusnello

Use to be a fan.

He will say do things like say one thing is healthy on one show, and then the next show he'll say it's unhealthy.... And he recommends pills and too many supplements I think. I only take One-A-Day Women's Multivitamin.

And what he claims as healthy actually isn't, I noticed. And he likes to say things like, "blast belly fat with this super food!" or, "This meal or dessert is Designed to help reduce belly fat!" just because if has one ingredient that does help with fat, but you can't spit reduce fat. Especially if you're combining only one food item to a dessert that helps, to a sugary dessert. You need to workout and eat right.

I say if you want something sweet that's not healthy, have a bit. And don't call it cheating on your diet... I hate when people call it a cheat snack or a cheat meal. It makes it sound like you failed and gave up. Just eat that piece of cake and own up to what you just did. It's meant to be enjoyed, it's not meant to make you feel like you did something wrong. It's called a treat for a reason. You gotta live, still! Have fun and enjoy ALL the foods and drinks you love, just use moderation.
