Dr. Oz and 99 Diet Foods For Your Shopping Cart: Plus Bonus Healthy Items Beyond the Bean Burrito
In most cases I would recommend against buying the stuff that Dr. Oz recommends for diets, because diets simply are not the most viable solution to losing weight and firming up your body.
But today Dr. Oz did have some useful and legitimate suggestions, mostly because he e has a List that requires you to shop in a health food store or a Whole Foods Markets to fine the brands he mentions.
Dr. Oz and 99 Diet Foods for Your Shopping List
He’s giving away 20,000 coupons for free organic bean burritos courtesy of Amy’s. They make many more frozen entrees, so check out their other offerings while picking up your burrito.
Many other brands like Organic Bistro and well-respected companies like Kashi give people more sound choices for incorporating frozen meals into one’s hectic life when you don’t have to time in the kitchen to make it from scratch. But BEWARE…hidden in the Dr. Oz List are unacceptable brands, too.
He would have honored your health had he given you the bonus item of frozen sweet potato fries which can be baked, not fried; rather than french fries which are not really ‘diet foods’. Furthermore, ignore the ramblings of the Hungry Girl, because her pasta dish will never satisfy and will leave you wanting more. Then you’ll cheat or feel deprived while becoming obsessed with calories.
Your Shopping Cart should not be filled with hundreds of processed foods most of the time. Dr. Oz has a daughter, Daphne, who told The Chew audience today that her guilty pleasure is to have one box of a yellow cake mix on hand for emergencies with 99% of her shopping cart is filled with fresh produce. She’s much smarter than her father…
The Chew: Daphne’s Guilty Pleasures
Dr. Oz couldn’t even fathom how to keep parsley fresh by putting the bunch in water. My God, man, your a doctor, not a gardener! Parsley is a living green plant that thrives in water and stays fresher longer. When will physicians figure out that growing your own herbs and foods is the best medicine in the world? Dr. Li also shared the use of limes, lima beans, and other foods that will reduce your risk of breast cancer dramatically.
At any rate, Dr. Oz is making progress by recommending organic brands and whole foods now more than ever. But someone needs to clue him in that canola oil is a big “no-no”. Walnut oil, macadamia nut oil, and toasted sesame seed oil should not be used with any heat whatsoever. Use peanut oil, grapeseed oil, or sunflower seed oil instead for baking, sauteeing, or frying foods.
Whole Foods Markets offer cooking classes, so that’s the place to shop and learn which whole foods belong in your shopping cart for your weight, your taste buds, and your healthy Lifestyle!
