A friend of mine that does not work during the day watched Dr Oz and said he is recommending this supplement for belly fat called 7 Keto. Did anyone ever hear of it and/or use it???? She claims it is a hormone we lose as we age. So needless to say she ran out and bought a bottle and said the health food store employee was all for it....I am skeptical when it comes to taking anything however she never is....Oh well just thought I would ask my very smart myfitnesspals...thanks!!!

Dr Oz is a snake oil salesman.0

If it were that easy, we'd all have flat abs.0

I can't stand Dr. Oz.. I would never follow most of his advice he gives out. Used to watch the show pretty often.0
-
Dr. Oz tells you about something new everyday we would owe the vitamin companies our life savings if we listened to him.....0
-
He will recommend what ever product he get payed for. He has no credibility0
-
Whats funny is I watched him today flipping channels and I think I counted 14 products he says are "everyday needs". Some were even blatant advertising like certain brands. Why do I need a certain brand of food as an everyday need? Ha ha..0

This thread gave me hope for humanity. Seeing so many Dr. Oz haters warms my heart!0
-
Sadly, he is an example of a highly skilled and reputable doctor who now has celebrity status and gets kickback from companies he endorses. Because being a cardiovascular surgeon and professor just wasn't enough.0

I watched that show. Dr. Oz should be ashamed. He had these women come on the show who had sent in pictures of themselves in a sports bra and shorts to get on the show (a la biggest loser). They were all in tears and so embarrassed of being fat. He mortified them by asking them how they felt when they looked at their picture. It was horrible and I finally turned it off. He was pitching a bunch of crap like 7 keto. Ridiculous.
There is no silver bullet to losing belly fat. You have to eat right and exercise. End of story.0 -
He recommends a new miraculous product every day. I wouldn't waste my money if I was you.0

safeslim..it dont work ..i am fortunate to have money to buy crap like that to try out..fortunately for all of you i can tell you what works and what doesnt so you dont waste your moola like i did. it tastes good though but i didnt lose not one stinkin' inch of belly fat from it ..0

That is what I argued with her about that he promotes something different everyday!!!! She just thinks he has all the answers and what really ticks me off is she never watches what she eats and maybe works out 3x a week, such as walking and is smaller than me!!!!! That ticks me off bc I watch what I eat and try to do some type of exercise 5x a week and can't lose a pound!!!! errrr thanks for hearing me out my friends...teeheecfr0

The only thing I think is good about his show is when he shows you how to MAKE healthy FOODS. You don't need supplements to lose weight, you just need the right diet and some exercise. I have tried some of the recipes one of my favorites was how to make a 'pizza' type thing. Instead of dough it's a large mushroom top. It was soooooo goooood.0

I watched the show once.... I remember thinking "Wow, does he think that putting on a suit for one segment and scrubs for another makes him more credible?" That show is just an hour long commercial for whatever product he's getting paid to promote. Imagine if you bought and used all of the products he recommended in a year? You'd be eating a ton of vitamins a day.0 -
awe man! i can't just pop a pill? dang!0

Last Fall I started taking a bottle of "Stop ingesting 5400 calories per day", and I've renewed my supply orders monthly since. Lost almost 50 pounds with this. LOL.
For real though, I'd stay clear of sales pitches like that. I also agree that Dr. Oz is a snake oil salesman. BTW the bottles of "Stop ingesting 5400 calories per day" are free. 0 -
Food for thought (pun intended): Dr. Oz's good friend Oprah has always said there is no quick fix that can be bought for weight loss because if there was, she would have had it years ago! Like Oprah or not, that's wise advice for all!0

OMG I did too and it was amamzing. I love the things he makes on the show!!0 -
not to be rude, but do you seriously believe you can buy a hormone replacement over the counter?0
-
Where are you hearing Dr. Oz gets paid for the products he talks about? I've heard a lot of people on this site say it, but I haven't found any other information on it.0

I wish it was that easy I would look like I did before I had my first kid 24 years ago. But I am slowly getting there watching what I eat and lots of exercise.0

I've only watched 3 or 4 of his shows...and he suggests all of these different supplements on each show. I don't think your body could even handle taking all of them.0

THIS! I totally agree with this, you'd be all 300 lbs. of supplements!!0 -

Contrary to popular belief, you can't find everything on the internet. It's common sense that he gets paid for his endorsements. He uses brand names, which is illegal unless the company gives you permission to use as an advertisement.
He is so popular, companies pay big bucks to get on his show. It's better than a commercial because it's a "real doctor" recommending it.0 -
I've had to do a lot of reading and doctor consults about hormones because of my own being so severely messed up for awhile there. I wouldn't go jumping on any kind of DHEA bandwagon any time soon. Lots of people have reported either no effects or unintended effects.
Hormones aren't that easy to play with anyway. Swallowing them in pill form doesn't mean your body is going to absorb and use them. Or they might throw other hormones out of balance. Or they might be the wrong hormone for your particular situation.
Here are some reviews of 7 Keto by a few who've tried it: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientreview-835-7-KETO-DHEA.aspx?drugid=835&drugname=7-KETO-DHEA0 -
let me answer that in Dr Oz's native language "quack quack quack"0
-
Every Oz show contradicts the previous day's show.
As far as "belly fat buster" or any other gimmicky lotion or pills, from what I know, you cannot target fat loss to any certain part of the body.0
