Dr. Oz...IT'S A TRAP!

So I'm at work, and my boss has the TV on turned to Dr. Oz. Now I know how A LOT of you feel about him and his methods, but this REALLY takes the cake. On his show today, he's got about 10-12 morbidly obese women sitting there, including the world's fattest woman.
I really want to just go to these women and tell them that he is the anti-christ, and that the path to weight loss isn't some superfood or miracle diet of the week -- BUT it is cutting back the amount of food you do eat and being generally aware of what you put into your body. I mean, for chrissakes...they showed a woman SHOVING a huge slice of pizza into her mouth. I'm sorry, but that is not entertainment. It's embarrassing, and I'm sure they'd be ashamed to see themselves in that bad lighting/reality.
Want to lose weight? Turn off Dr. Oz, get up off your *kitten* and take a walk. Then repeat.
Bad, Dr. Oz...BAD!!!

I've never seen his show but had my mom here for the week and the one she was watching had every single person in the audience holding a fricking plastic container with their pee in it and he was making everyone smell them and tell him what they thought there urine smelled like to them. I wasn't grossed out by it or anything but it just seemed really lame and totally inappropriate for regular TV. He bugs me for some reason I don't know why but he just does.0

Wow. Yeah, I'd really love to tell my friends & family about appearing on that episode.

I avoid that show at all costs.0

those women you saw on his show got paid by men to eat and get fat! they get off on it. they are called feeders. SICK! those women were proud of themselves and saw no reason to be concerned about their health. REALLY? he was willing to help if they wanted help, some of them walked of the stage. never heard of feeders before that show. quack? really?0

My mom swears by Dr Oz. It makes me crazy. She sends me information based on whatever he says. The funny thing is, I have lost 60 lbs doing a diet he said you should never do! LOL! She thinks rainbows come out of his *kitten*. I can show her all the research that proves he is a crackpot and is only after making people feel inadequate in some way, but she just doesn't believe me. It is very sad.0

I have never liked Dr. Oz, just for the simple fact I feel like he just talks to talk. He has the most extreme case diarrhea of the mouth. I really think he is one of those people if they didn't know the answer to something, instead of just saying I don't know, they will bull crap an answer just so everyone knows they know everything. He gets on my nerves, always has.
Of course that's just my opinion, I have family members who think he poops butterflies and marshmallows.0 -
Lol golden0 -
Hummmm.....do you think he gets alittle something for all those vitamins and supplements he tells you to take to "stop cancer cells" or to "burn fat"...if we took every pill he show cases on his shows we would be taking hundreds daily....You only need to see his show once or maybe twice and then you have seen it all...He pretty much does the same show over and over just hawking some different supplement each day....0

I never thought about him that way, I liked one health magazine that I bought and he was giving some good tips in it. I don't think he is all that bad. I read a lot of Artichels, magazines and books about good food vs bad and they are all contradicted, for example I made a reaserch about soy and found out that the soy in the USA is not the good kind that is used in Aisa and it's really bad for you. Some people think it's super good and all, and I think with Dr. Oz's tips and suggestions it's the same thing. I just take what I think is good and ignor the rest.0

LOL I totally A.D.D.'d on that too! But yes, I'm guilty of watching his "show" on several different occasions and every time I turned it one, there was some new weight loss fad. Can we say overpaid info-mercial?0 -

Totally! LOL0 -

Oh man, if you only knew. I don't watch it personally, but my boss has the TV on. (We have security cameras that run through the cable.)
But at my last job, when I was a manager, at my location - I was next to the TV department, so every single day I could look forward to watching American Chopper, Sunrise Earth and whatever else was playing on Discovery HD. That's why I gained weight, because I was sitting on my butt (we weren't that busy) watching TV all day.0 -
Every time I go to my local Starbucks and order my Skinny latte, the SAME barista always says "You know, Dr. Oz says sugar free anything is actually going to make you gain weight. It's very bad for you. Did you know that?"
One day, I got so fed up with hearing this (I normally brush it off, but I was in a horrible mood) that I just sniped back, "Can Dr. Oz tell me then why you're still fat, yet I'm now a member of the thin brigade? No? Didn't think so." and just walked out.
She never mentioned that effin' quack since.0 -
He pushes far too many pills and supplements. I do enjoy the food ideas and thats where I learned about Lisa Lillien
. I just think that if all those pills; teas and powders worked, none of us would be fat. He is one of those "grain of salt" things. 0 -
BUT HE TAUGHT US ALL ABOUT THE S-SHAPED POOOOOOO!!!!0

I feel the same way about Dr Phil. Another monstrosity. As someone working in the field he gives out such ridiculous info and markets everything. He didn't even bother to renew his license. Despise him.0 -
I agree that he needs to quit talking about all these "miracle" supplements and push healthy eating and exercise. He knows his stuff in lots of other areas but I think it's another case of doing what it takes to get ratings. People don't want to hear that you have to eat better, eat less, and exercise. They want to hear there is a quick fix.0

Totally! LOL
This definitely says it all! I canNOT stand this man.0 -

Dang, now were know why your name is AngryGuy. lol
I can see how people can get sucked in but I thought he offered good enough information. I watched the episode on how to find energy throughout the day & it was a good. But I stopped watching the show because I thought I had everything he talked about!! Oh No, my poop doesn't come out in a C form, I'm dying....LMBO!!! You have to have a take this, not that mentality when watching him!0 -
actually, i was thinking more like this:
