Watching Dr. Oz & Shaking my head at all the sugar!!!

[lowcarbnic]

I think I'm getting the hang of this because I was watching Dr. Oz and he was going over an eating plan for heart disease prevention that is 70% carbohydrates and I kept thinking to myself, that's sugar, more sugar and more sugar and that's going to convert to fat.  The eating plan went something like this...

Oatmeal with dried fruit for breakfast
Mid morning snack.. bananas and a granola bar
Salad with chickpeas and low-fat raspberry vinagrette for lunch
Dinner was chicken, veggies, 1/2 cup brown rice, a whole grain bun
Evening snack was veggies and hummus.

First of all, I would be BORED beyond belief eating this, second I would be hungry and third wouldn't all the starches convert to sugar.  The woman presenting the eating plan lost 80 lbs this way and Dr. Oz was going on about how great a plan it is.

I don't get it!

Dr OZ should stick to surgery, after all he's a Heart Surgeon. He and Dr Phil's " I'm an expert on everything" television persona were "created" by Oprah. Just stick to the facts as you know know them fro FAT TO SKINNY, regardless of how many people try to convince you otherwise. The science is what it is.....

SUGAR AND CARBS MAKE YOU LARGE!....MEATS AND GREENS MAKE YOU LEAN!

It sounds nice...for about a day. most of the foods you can get at dixie diner on this plan are commensurate with a heart healthy diet anyway.

Totally agree with you Doug. 

Dr. Oz is getting on my nerves. He's on every magazine cover and always talking about a different diet plan oh and then there's his diet book too!

 Oprah is big media. Made Dr. Oz what he is today. It's crazy how people believe everything they see on TV.

Hey Doug, Hope you are having a good day.  Have you ever thought about sending Oprah and/or Dr. Oz a copy of your book?  We all have watched Oprah struggle through many years with her weight going up, down, up, down and up again.  All the money in the world cannot buy you a skinny body or a healthy body.  Or better yet, have you thought about appearing on the Oprah show?  Just curious!  If so, let me know ahead of time so I can be in the audience! 
Thanks and enjoy this day that the Lord has made and has given to us!!!

I've sent copies, letters, phone calls, publicists calls etc.... I remember getting back a letter from an Oprah producer in response to a signed copy I sent.

" Dr Mr Varrieur, please be advised that we have destroyed your book. We do not except unsolicited materials, if we have an interest in your book we will contact you."

My feeling.....Let her stay FAT
