On today’s ‘The Dr. Oz Show’ it was all about the best and worst things you can do. During the first segment on the television show, Doctor Mehmet Oz shared what he thought was the best and worst ways a person could go about losing weight.



Doctor Oz said that the best day of the week to start a weight loss program is on Saturday, while the worst day is on a Monday. The most beneficial aisle at the grocery store that will help you lose the pounds is the produce section, while the worst is the checkout stand because of candy temptations. Doctor Oz explained that eating at the dining room offers the best weight loss strategy, while eating in the kitchen can sabotage your dieting because you will be tempted to go back for seconds. Doctor Oz shared a list of the best and worst things you can do to lose weight.

Diet Pills

Worst – – Ephedrine or phed is the worst diet pill said Dr. Oz. He explained that it is very dangerous because the heart can get damaged. The diet pill causes the heart to pump faster and can increase blood pressure. This extra strain on the heart could rip holes in the arteries, which could cause sudden strokes said Dr. Oz.

Best – Glucomannan is a supplement that is also a natural thickening agent. Doctor Oz said this is the best diet pill because it has a lot of fiber and swells up in the stomach. He said that when you take the pill, you should make sure to drink it with a lot of water. Glucomannan comes from a root and cost around $10 for the diet pill supplement.

Exercise

Worst – Sit-ups are the worst exercise to do because he said most people do not do them correctly. The stomach muscles are important to keep toned, but he suggested that a person should do a plank exercise so no injury will happen to the neck.

Best – Doctor Oz pick for the best exercise is to do lunge exercises because it works more muscles and burns more calories than sit-ups do. He demonstrated a front lunge and explained that the knees should not overextend past the toes. Doctor Oz added that these lunges do not cost any money to do. There is no exercise equipment needed to do lunges.

Snacks

Worst – Eating anything that is a bar is bad for weight loss explained Dr. Oz. The reason, he said, is that people may think that what they are eating is good for them. He said that a granola bar can contain sugar alcohols that will cause bloating. There can also be added sugar as well.

Best – Doctor Oz recommends eating Inca peanuts, which are grown in the Andes Mountain in Peru. The reason he recommends this particular nut is that they have both ample amounts of Omega 3 and Vitamin E, which are both good for the heart. Only one ounce has 5 grams of fiber. Dr. Oz said that there is 3 times more omega 3 than what is found in walnuts. He said that Sacha Inca Nuts are usually sold at health food stores.


Metabolism Boosters

Worst – Energy drinks are not good because they cause a temporary boost that does not last. The beverages usually have either caffeine or sugar.

Best – Doctor Oz said that cayenne pepper has been proven to burn fat.
