Dr. Oz Grilled In Congress, Admits Weight Loss Products He Touts Don't Pass 'Scientific Muster' see the article at
Huffington PostThis type of peddling of pseudoscience is the biggest reason why I started my blog. There are ways to lose weight, but too many methods are pushed that do not work or only cause temporary loss of water.
The best way to lose weight is to lower calorie consumption, increase exercise, and make sure your health is maintained by eating a balanced diet. There is no magic and it is not easy. Some people are helped by getting encouragement from others, as in groups, but the desire to lose weight is not enough. One needs self-discipline to lose weight and keep it off.
One also needs to be a real skeptic about any article that is not based on peer-reviewed research and from a reliable source.
