I don't know if any of you out there watch the Dr. Oz show, but he is the reason our DVR only has 13% of it's recording space left! It is truly the BEST SHOW! I highly recommend it! My problem with the recording space is that I tape it, watch it, love it, then think every episode is so great that I want to keep it! So now I have oh, six to eight pages of DVR'ed Dr. Oz shows that I cannot part with! I think hubs will be forcing the issue soon, though...
This morning, my 10:30 appointment cancelled so I got to watch a little of my favorite doctor LIVE! It was GREAT! He talked about his Ten Commandments for weight loss. The few that stuck with me are:
1. Stop grazing...bites of other people's food...(ewww), a cookie here or there, a few potato chips when you walk in the door starving...he said grazing can add up to 1000 calories per day. Makes sense!
2. Do not carry small bills around in your wallet. This can help curb your craving for something out of the vending machine on a whim. He said it's safer to carry around a $20.00 bill. Makes sense, except for my "vending machine" is McDonald's drive-thru and they don't care if iyou give them ones, twenties, or even the magic plastic card!
3. He asked one viewer how many times she opens the refrigeator and stands there "foraging" for food. She said about 5-7 times per day. (Yep-that's about what I would have said) He told he to STOP...he told her she is mindlessly eating by doing that and he wanted her to picture her plate in her head before she opened the fridge. Okay...I'll try it!
There were 7 other good commandments that I'm sure are listed on his website. Give the show a try if you can. I always feel connected to what he's talking about for that day. He covers about 5-7 different topics during each show and he does it in a very interesting, easy-to-remember way! He's very real and very honest.
Okay, doc...good advice...I'll give it a try! Can't wait to watch the rest of your show today when I get home! And hubs...if you are reading this, I promise I'll delete it............................................someday!
