Robb Wolf said on a podcast that a production crew member of the Dr. Oz show uses Paleo to control an autoimmune disorder (I think.) The kicker is Dr. Oz KNOWS this but refuses to have Robb on the show.
ohhh mannnn I cannot stand how this guy talks! its like his tongue is glued to the roof of his mouth! how does this guy have his own tv show? his speaking is terrible
looks like he just wants to humiliate fat women on the show, maybe shame them into losing weight??
For yuks I watched his DIET MYTHS BUSTEDDD!!!!!!!1
this is how he teaches women the difference between diet and regular soda:
"Now, pretend you're a sweet tooth" (I KID YOU NOT, HE SAID THAT)
then he throws ping pong balls and the woman catches them. he says those are real sugar, your body can handle it.
then he takes a larger ball, an artificial sweetener, and throws it at the target
liquid hits the woman and he goes "and thats what happens when you eat artificial sugars, it tricks your body until you binge on sugars"
Are you serioussssss

I think y'all hit the nail on the head, he is a professional fat-shamer.
And you know what, I don't blame him. This work shit is for chumps. I can't wait till I get to a normal weight, I've been taking progress photos and everything - I think I'm going to do the same goddamn thing so I can go ahead and retire early. All I have to do is shill bullshit products and make fat people jump around in spandex and give themselves heart attacks for about 2-3 years while I yell and make them cry, and then I can laugh at everybody and tell them it's all bullshit and then run away very very fast. With all my money. And never have to work in the goddamn cubicle farm ever again.
ETA: Ok, I couldn't do that, I've been fat-shamed, bullied and abused my whole entire life and my stupid scruples get in the way. I could write a book, though. Put recipes in it or sumthin' or just fill it with bullshit and then sell it on Dr. Oz. All I need is about a million dollars so I can escape the cubes.
Also, stupid goddamn energy. Sitting at this machine when it's a beautiful day out is for chumps. I'm gonna go on a walk or somethin'.

People like Dr. Oz survive by misrepresenting information in order to create "NEW DIET SECRETS THAT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND FEEL BETTER!" every week. That particular clip was really embarrassing though. First off all those women were overweight, as a women you tend to store fat in your hips/buttocks, so if you are overweight that's where the fat is stored especially. And then recommending a high carb, low fat diet in order to specifically move fat away from the butt? lol
Originally I wasn't going to watch the video, but I felt I had to after reading the replies in this thread. All I can say is wow. What a fat-shaming moron. I feel sincerely bad for the women that were on stage with him, how humiliating.

You will notice that he has taken down the "comments" section on all of his video clips becasue after Gary Taubes was ambushed by the producers and edited like nobody ever has been. When that happened the list of Oz bashers was outnumbering the Oz heads by 3:1. He learned not to let people express their opinions on his pages, kind of like a communist regime!
Yup... I know men his age who look a lot better.....He looks like he has no muscle tone.and he looks malnourished and overall unhealthy
Also... how does Oprah GIVE him a show and endorse him... he obviously has NOT helped her with his methods. Just sayn'!
Our body is our subconscious mind, and anybody who thinks that their conscious mind is running the show is seriously mistaken. In fact the conscious mind just may be the most narcissistic entity in the universe, it thinks it's running the show. It's not.
