Less than 50% of the products he recommends have scientific backing. I'd look elsewhere for your recommendations0

No. Dr Oz is a quack. I find that consuming home cooked meals using lots of fresh produce and leaner cuts of meet keep me full longer with fewer calories so I'm less miserable while losing weight and allowing some ice cream regularly. No magical metabolism boosting properties.0

Dr Oz is an idiot. He's been in trouble more than once for selling his scam products.0

If you're talking about yesterday's show, the part about fruit and vegetables, then I actually agree with it.
In general, I don't take much stock in everything he shows. I never listen to the supplement crap for example. But the thought that crunchy fruit and vegetables take more work for our digestive systems to break down makes sense to me. We already know that all body functions burn calories naturally. So the thought that high fiber foods take a FEW more calories to break down than say a tbsp of butter makes perfect sense to me.
That said, take everything you see on Dr. Oz with a grain of salt.0 -

What makes sense, and what is scientifically proven fact are often different things. When it comes to this stuff, intuition is usually wrong.
So has there been a study showing how many calories are burnt while digesting a high fiber food as opposed to say, a half stick of butter? If so, I'd love to see the results.0 -

Yes...look for studies on the thermic effect of food.0 -

Dr. Oz is a whackjob. I'd rather take nutritional advice from a 5-year-old than him or his cronies...0

If I'm reading this correctly it seems scientific studies back this one up.

Dr. Oz is a fraud. He was a successful cardiothoracic surgeon who got dollar signs in his eyes and sold out to become a snake oil peddler. Not worth listening to a word he says.0

Even a broken clock is correct twice per day. Some Dr. Oz stuff is good, some not so much.
It pays to be discerning whether it is Dr. Oz, a politician, or your neighbor giving advice to you.0 -

i think, if what he says seems too good to be true, it probably is.0

Not really, because when you look at the food used, they have different macro/fiber breakdowns. The WF group has more protein and more fiber which would play a role in the outcome as the study shows.0 -
Whole foods are great on many levels...and certain foods do increase TEF, but the effect is often substantially overstated.
By and large, Dr. Oz is a quack...I'm not sure what the outcome was, but he was recently involved in senate hearings for basically pedaling bull *kitten*...where there's smoke, there's fire.0 -
It wasn't Dr. Oz saying it---it was his guests Jenna Wolfe , Dr. Neal Barnard , Dr. Drew Pinsky , Dr. Oliver Di Pietro. I don't watch him unless something grabs my interest.0
