The Omentum...HOW GROSS IS THIS?! MOTIVATION FOR SURE.

The omentum is almost a filter for toxins and fats that hangs off the bottom of your stomach.
The image on the right shows Dr. Oz holding the omentum of a person who is ONLY 30 lbs overweight. Oprah is holding a healthy person's omentum. This is seriously disgusting! This is motivation for me for sure. I hope this motivates all of you to keep on track and get your omentum looking healthy again.
The functions of the greater omentum are:
Fat deposition, having varying amounts of adipose tissue
Immune contribution, having milky spots of macrophage collections
Infection and wound isolation; It may also physically limit the spread of intraperitoneal infections.
The greater omentum can often be found wrapped around areas of infection and trauma.

Not sure I can really take anything associated with Dr. Oz as motivational in any sort of sincere way. But if it works for you, then great.

Meh. It's not gross, it's cool! Hooray for how awesome our bodies are and how cool it is that they function even when we feed them crap and don't take them out for walks! I think it's pretty awesome.
Oh and in my mind, this is what's happening when I eat:
And that:
is just what happens when the party gets too wild and someone pukes in the bathtub0 -
Just get yourself some raspberry ketones or green coffee bean extract and it'll all be fine. Really! Dr. Oz said so!0

How many healthcare professionals do you think use Oprah for continuing professional development?0 -

OMG really guys?! Even though Dr. Oz is a quack it is literally right in front of you. It is disgusting to see how unhealthy it is to be overweight! The point is not that I am like obsessing over Dr. Oz or something, but look at the crap that is stuffed into your body. And I'm not sure why everyone thinks he is a quack. Whatever he says shouldn't be taken as SERIOUS medical advice...I really like this episode about the omentum though. Not a lot of people know what it is or what our insides really look like. SO anyone who is being MEAN and negative needs to shut up and be more positive!
Just another way to motivate you...Sorry if I "Lost you at Dr. Oz"....
Look up the facts for yourself if you don't believe Dr. Oz.0 -

Which medical or scientific website do you suggest for 'facts'?0 -

Let me be a little more blunt ... I am far from the only person on MFP qualified to degree level in a healthcare discipline.0 -
So glad to see this visual post, my friend and I were just talking about this today. Not a big fan of Dr. Oz, but have heard other people in the medical field state facts along these lines too. My omentum has way too much momentum! Hoping to work on that with diet and exercise. Just started getting back in the routine today. Oh and couldn't think of the word today when my friend and I discussed...thanks!0
