    Whatever, raspberry ketones are amazing. I just sit on the couch all day....

    you do realize that raspberry keytones have NEVER been proven to do anything?


    I don't need science for proof. I eat and eat and eat, take raspberry ketones, watch soaps day and lose weight and build muscle. That's all the proof I need. Lol at those who exercise and eat healthy.

    and they are in better shape than you...lol. Go ahead and keep fooling yourself.

    This may be true, but they don't look better than me naked. And that's all that matters.

    um...I'm sure they do.


    You've seen me naked? Was that you rustling my bushes last night? Mirin my delts??

    giggity! o:)

    Hey there friend!
  • I always eat before bed, a reasonable snack, and I've lost 5 lbs over the last 8 weeks. Most people will believe anything an "expert" says, esp one on TV. Youngsters should google Johnny Carson and Toilet paper.

    While I agree he is not correct on a number of things, many posters are complaining that he promotes nutritional supplements that he actually doesn't. He did an entire episode {one of the few I've actually seen} talking about how companies are using his picture and name illegally to promote their products. Green coffee bean extract being one of the many. He actually asked viewers to send photos and details to the show when they come across these promotions in the stores so he can contact the store/company and take legal action. Just wanted to help set the record straight on one aspect of this thread.

    This is true. He does "blur the lines" a bit and can easily confuse people however, due to his constant topic of weight loss, so that adds to it, but this post from the above poster is correct.

    The sad part of all of this is that when he brings up something true or useful it's not going to get the ratings. His audience wants a magic pill, not useful info. So when he shows organ tissue or runs health screenings, his ratings go down. When he raves about an expensive product as if he were the home shopping network on steroids, his audience cheers and call their friends to tune in too.
    But hey! We all lose weight with science, yo.

    I liked when he got yelled at by Congress.

    THIS. YES!! What a sell-out and snake oil salesman (I sound like my grandmother there!). Wonder what the (former) queen of daytime TV (Oprah) thinks of him now?!?

    Um... she's the one who endorses him. On her network. So she's surely aware and most probably banking on it too.

    He's splitting hairs.

    If he goes on his show and says some nutritional supplement is the greatest thing since sliced bread and you'll lose weight if you take it, then he's promoting it. He may not be saying "Buy Dr. John's Raspberry Ketones" but he does promote taking raspberry ketones to lose weight. Even though there is not one shred of scientific evidence to support that.

    I wonder what ever happened to that 600 lb girl named Melissa......I am pretty sure that was her name. She was dependent on her husband for just about everything, I rememebr that one time it showed her washing her clothes in the washer for the first time in years.....she could barely walk and had to use a walker to ease into the van ........she could not drive, too big....I think she weighed 700 lbs, not sure, but she was a very demanding wife, and turns out, Dr Oz exposed her husbands affair on national TV..... Dr Oz who then turned into a counsellor/psycho analysist then proceeds to tell her why she is obese, and attempts to find out the cause of her addictions......really a bizarre story line

    I do remember this though......they made her stand on the scale, and then she had to go to the TRUTH TANK, and it revealed all her numbers, ie, blood pressure, BMI, LDL, HDL, Triglicerides, etc..........her BMI was off the charts

    after that show, I just stopped watching..........hes only out for publicity and money
    His wife is always on the radio doing talk shows about her latest diets ,and his daughter Daphney is on the CHEW , and they both are writing books..........

    I guess they keep it in the family.........nothing but shysters

    Dude, needs to stick to surgery and give up his day job as a snake oil salesman.

    I don't know about this, either. If I woke up from surgery and saw his face, I would be afraid to look under my blanket for fear of what I would find!
