Since I started following Dr. Oz's recommendations in April 2007, I
have lost 35 lbs. I'm in better shape now than I've been in over 20
years.

I did some googling on this guy. He's written a number of books on diet and
longevity. What does he recommend in terms of foods? Low-carb?


My last check up was in March 2007. High cholesterol, high
blood pressure, in the beginning stages of congestive heart failure,
palpitations, tachycardia, excellent candidate for type 2 diabetes
etc. The way things are going,
by March 2008 when I go in for my next yearly physical, I'm expecting
my doctor to be very pleasantly surprised. Perfect BMI, perfect BP,
perfect cholesterol levels, no sign of heart enlargement. Perfect
health. Maximum fitness. What I've learned from Dr. Oz is how to
properly understand health and nutrition. Just as eating poorly,
getting obese and acquiring heath problems was second nature, now
eating healthy, losing 5 lbs. a month (that's 60 lbs. in one year
bringing me to a perfect BMI), and bursting with vitality is now
second ingrained nature. It's become so easy and so natural, It's
becoming hard understand why I had such a problem with eating my

I've also leaned to use canola oil, which in also high in omega 3.

Canola oil is a genetically engineered man-made product.

Rapeseed that expressed the 'best' of the plant's essences were brought
together to make what is now known as Canola in the fields

and this is dangerous?? HOW?

Not true.

Canola oil is a GOOD source for Omega 3 oils

THAT is why we use it

Canola oil is considered "healthy" because it is low in saturated
fats. Since we now know that saturated fat ISN'T the problem, why use
canola oil?

Well, it's cheap.

I love that quote.

I had not heard that quote before.

Body fat gain is overconsumption, loss is balanced or underconsumption
(relative to your overeating). That's it, period.

It seems to have escaped your notice that not only can we change how
much we eat, but we can also change how much we need to eat. Therefore
it is possible to change from weight loss to weight gain (or vice
versa) without changing how much you eat.

It seems to have escaped your notice that when you change how
much you eat, you invariably change how much you need to eat. Therefore
it is impossible to change from weight loss to weight gain without changing
how much you eat once at 2 pounds per day.
