Oz vs. Oz
Good catch on Dr. Oz by Dr. Yoni Freedhoff: The show was predictable. Dr. Oz spent the bulk of the show obtaining testimonials from HCG providers and dieters, mentioned how his wife has done the HCG diet, spent a scant amount of time with HCG detractors, mentioned that the complete and utter lack of medical evidence to support its use was counter-balanced by the 4 people he had in his audience who had succeeded in losing weight,...
Using Apps to Build a Better Body
I’ll be honest: I’m not a big social-media enthusiast. Nor do I own an iPhone, Blackberry, or any other pocket digital device. But that’s me… plenty of others can get some inspiration from this NYT article by Owen Thomas, which details how he used his apps and social networks to lose a whopping 63 pounds.

They are supposed to be used in combination...

Here’s a better analogy: “The 4-Hour Body” reads as if The New England Journal of Medicine had been hijacked by the editors of the SkyMall catalog. Some of this junk might...
BBC: “French Fight Flab With Cooking Lessons”
Via “Weighty Matters,” here’s a weight loss idea that’s near and dear to my heart. According to the BBC… A leading public hospital in Paris is teaching patients being treated for obesity how to cook. And instead of being put on a diet, they are told it’s OK to sit down to a three-course meal – especially with family or friends. “Enjoying food, variety in food, the culture of food are the...
