You: On A diet - Part 1

These days every physician and health care professional wants to go on TV and talk about their latest book on diets. Some go on the Dr Phil Show and some go on the Oprah Show. No matter what specialty the doctor has trained in, they always have advice on how to lose weight. There are some doctors who have never seen a live patient and yet they talk about diet.

Writing and selling diet books by doctors is now a favorite past time in America. One of the reasons why doctors write diet books is that they love to talk big, and plus it brings in money. When doctors write, people think they are right! So now, we have the latest You: On a Diet- the owner’s manual for waist management!

This diet book is written by Oprah's favorite doctor, Dr Mehmet Oz and his partner Dr Michael Roizen. The book talks a lot about waist sizes and how if one was to reduce waist size of the body, weight would decrease (really Dr Oz?). With this diet plan, you do not count calories, just your waist size.

The You: On A Diet book contain the usual details about obesity, waist size and health problems -nothing new there. The You: on A Diet plan starts with a 2 week crash course on exercise and eating healthy. The book says one cannot eat sugars, saturated fats, and all that sweet stuff (are you listening Oprah). While the book says one cannot eat sweet foods it does not dwell much into what one can eat. These doctors claim that by limiting the diet choice, this will lead to appetite suppression. The fewer choices you have, the less you will indulge.

The You: on A diet plan says you got to walk 30 minutes a day and eat 2 meals a day. There are a lot of pictures and how to perform exercise illustrations. Oprah had Dr Oz over on her Show and the book sold really well (am not sure if Oprah read the book-see later). The book explains everything about obesity and at the Oprah show, the word wonderful and super was used many times.
