Getting Started on my own experiment. I have seen it all over Tv Dr. Ozz, The Ellen show, CNN, and Fox. Now I'm seeing it on a daily bases on social media. Went to my local health food store and got the ingredients. Raw apple cider viniger, pure hunny, and skinny Garcinia. This is not under $5. Only the apple cider if you get the small jar is under $5. Total bill for ingreadiance was $56.73. 1st try. Not bad! I warmed water too much and ended up using a 16 oz instead of an 8 oz.

Ok after taste is yucky but tolerable0

What are you making with those ingredients? 56 bucks should be a lot of salad dressing.5

What is this supposed to do for you?
And I don't understand the title: "What's loss merical?" Do you mean to say, "Weight Loss Miracle?"3 -
I've got a bridge you can buy. It's cheaper than $56.4

This.1 -
I have some bad news. If you see weight loss info on Dr. Oz, the truth is probably pretty close to the exact opposite. These things aren't going to do anything for you, unfortunately.
That said, just keep here on MFP - accurately logging food/exercise and keeping to your goals, and you'll succeed.2 -
There is no such thing as a weight loss miracle, especially when it comes to any weight loss plan that is endorsed by Dr. Oz. The only reason you are seeing this concoction all over social media, etc. is because those mechanisms are being used to sell their product(s), or to promote the social media itself.
There is no magic to weight loss. Just eat less than you burn of real food and you will lose weight.0 -
The best thing to do with anything you see on Dr. Oz is to ignore it. He's nothing but a bought and paid for snake oil salesman who will offer his endorsement to anything which will make him money. That concoction you're making/drinking will make you lose weight in your wallet, but nowhere else.

Also, @hotfroggymama, I see you've lost 20 some odd pounds of 40 some odd. Why are you doing this odd drinky thing?1
-
It sounds awful. Maybe the taste makes you so nauseated you don't want to eat.
OP anything from Dr. Oz just put in the entertainment file and don't take seriously.1 -

Oh, I'm slow. I read it as "What's loss, Merica!" and thought it was going to be, I dunno, something about the US losing our way.4 -

Too late for that.

Dr. Oz will present a LOT of things people are doing in their efforts to lose weight, and people think that means he's endorsing them. He's not. He's just presenting them as things people are doing and if other people want to try it, then so be it.
Admittedly, I did try green tea extract, raspberry ketones, and a few other things that had been brought up as possible things to help with fat loss. The only thing they did was Totally freak out my liver.
I've b even able to lose weight without the use of those things. BUt I know people who swear by them.
ONly you can determine what's best for you, and whether those are useful or not on your path.0 -

The people who "swear by" those woo magic potions are the ones who properly reduced their calorie intake (and maybe engaged in an exercise program), which created a calorie deficit, which allowed them to lose weight. Those silly magic weight loss potions didn't do a single thing to help that, they would have lost the weight without them just as easily.
Dr. Oz is a charlatan and was censured by the U.S. Congress, where he admitted that the snake oils he pushes "don't have the scientific muster to present as fact" and that the language he used to promote them was "flowery". He's a fraud and a huckster who sold his soul (and his reputation in the medical field) in the name of the almighty dollar.1 -
Sounds like what's loss is your money on your magic potion drink.2

It's dishonest, unethical and he is doing it solely to make a buck. he may have been respected in his specific field (which has nothing to do with weight loss or nutrition), but he has gone off the deep end and we would be better off if his show was cancelled and he was no longer mentioned.

I think "Weight Loss, 'Murica!!" is probably pretty accurate seeing that it was touted on Dr. Oz.2 -
Dr Oz? You cannot be serious.
And you just wasted a crap-tonne of money.
