Hey, if you missed the show today - these are the times you should use for optimizing weight loss and fat burn:

6:30 am weigh yourself
6:35 am exercise
7:30 am breakfast
8:00 am metabolism boost (1 cup of ice water)
10:00 am grocery shop
12:00 pm lunch
6:15 pm fiber supplement
6:30 pm dinner


Changing up my day a bit, but this sounds very do-able and hey, if it doesn't work, at least we tried! (this reminds me a lot of the big breakfast diet, which was nice when i stuck to it...)

    If I was a stay at home wife that would be just fine. As it is I'm at work by 730 and don't leave until 430(or 5).

    Who can grocery shop every day at 10AM? That just seems crazy to me.

    Um.. I'm a SAHM and I cannot follow this regimen very well.
    Those morning times are actually PRIMETIME for a SAHM. I have three children, I tend to THEM, not myself, that early in the morning. I have to make them breakfast, nurse my infant and there is barely anytime for me to exercise with doctor/dentist appointments, tutoring, boyscouts, Lacrosse, swimming lessons, preschool, soccer etc.
    Maybe when all of my children are significantly older could I follow that schedule.

    I think he is just saying get up and move at 10am. When you grocery shop is not really fast. Its a browsing type movement so take a walk or whatever just to get that heart rate slightly elevated.

    I suppose not having seen the segment means a lack of context. That would have helped explain that the 10AM grocery shopping really means "take a break from work/being a mommy/whatever and walk around or do something physical".

    Glad you got a good laugh out of people's responses. Hopefully it was as hard as I laughed at that schedule!!!! :laugh:

    The person that posted it earlier had a note that Dr. Oz said to shop at 10 because you're full from breakfast and won't over shop.

    I didn't mean to sound Mean. I just wish I had more time in the day to do this stuff. My work schedule just doesn't allow it to go that way. Its a bit of a flawed plan for most of us, we all have priorities that prevent many of us from following a plan like that.

    Interesting, wake up and excercise on an empty stomach. I don't do that. Maybe that is important. I was always under the impression u should eat within the first hour of waking up also. What do u guys think? I've also heard about the ice water thing.

    People, I didnt watch the show and I know what she meant and Dr. Oz. Basically, exercise first thing in the morning. Have breakfast afterwards, don't forget to eat lunch and have dinner. Its just an outline. Personally, I am tired of all these excuses. I work 12 1/2 hours and day and STILL find the time to work out and eat. If you can't get out of bed an hour early or even 20 mins to work out, then what are you doing to lose weight??

    I saw that episode, or maybe it was similar to it. I don't stick to those times exactly but I do them in that order. I have to get up between 4 and 4:30 to get my workout in before getting the kids up and all of us ready, out the door and at school by 7:30 (I'm an elementary school teacher). I think the theory behind these times is accurate. Doing those tasks in that order and time increments makes complete sense to me.
    Although I understand there are many that just can't abide by that schedule It's pretty rigid. It's unrealistic for MOPS, those that have to be at work before 8, those who work late/multiple shifts, etc. My schedule isn't super strict but I try to do my routine in the same order:
    - weigh (Saturdays only)
    - exercise
    - ready for day
    - breakfast
    - mid-morning snack (between 8:30-9:30)
    - lunch 11:00 - 11:30
    - afternoon snack 3:20
    - dinner
    - after dinner snack (this includes tea but not every night)
    I'll try to work in fiber sometime between my mid-morning snack and dinner. I hardly ever go to the grocery store during the week; I live out in the country. That usually happens just before or after lunch. I have to do things in that order or they won't get done.

    Was the excuses thing aimed at me? Because I was not making excuses, just laughing at the 10AM grocery thing. I am losing plenty of weight.

    ***edit - nevermind, I saw 'people' as 'purple'! Sorry.

    I've heard both. That you shouldn't exercise on an empty stomach cuz then you don't have the energy. And that you should exercise before you eat anything for the day so everything you're burning is fat cal, not food cal.

    Personally, I need something in my stomach before I workout or I get sorta queasy feeling about halfway through. So even if I do a morning workout, I have a light breakfast first then a post workout snack.

    And to the person that said folks were making excuses, I don't see people making excuses. I see people laughing at what is a truly unrealistic schedule for most anyone that has a job or is a parent. He may be a doctor, but he's a celebrity doctor and has probably gotten to exist via whatever schedule works out best for him because he doesn't actually have anyplace to be on a regular time schedule every single day. I make my eating, shopping and working out schedule work based on my personal schedule, as most of everyone else that posts here likely does. And it's clearly working pretty well based on the tickers I see around this forum. ;)
