Mehmet Oz should know all this.

Actually he was very specific about keeping it refrigerated and not
heating it.

That doesn't make sense with the widely available refined canola oil,
which was heated during processing, and isn't kept refrigerated in the
supermarket. You're locking the barn door after the horse has fled.
The horse, of course, being a metaphor for all traces of nutrition.

I think it might have had to do with freshness. They keep mayonase on
the shelf un refrigerated for weeks or months too -- but after you
open it...

Does Oz make all of that clear?

I dunno, I don't keep track of his every word and deed. All I know is
his general guidance has helped towards my loosing 35 lbs. and I think
he's a cool dude.

Here I am!
I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come in

Since I started following Dr. Oz's recommendations in April 2007, I
have lost 35 lbs. I'm in better shape now than I've been in over 20
years. My last check up was in March 2007. High cholesterol, high
blood pressure, in the beginning stages of congestive heart failure,
palpitations, tachycardia, excellent candidate for type 2 diabetes
etc. The way things are going,
by March 2008 when I go in for my next yearly physical, I'm expecting
my doctor to be very pleasantly surprised. Perfect BMI, perfect BP,
perfect cholesterol levels, no sign of heart enlargement. Perfect
health. Maximum fitness. What I've learned from Dr. Oz is how to
properly understand health and nutrition. Just as eating poorly,
getting obese and acquiring heath problems was second nature, now
eating healthy, losing 5 lbs. a month (that's 60 lbs. in one year
bringing me to a perfect BMI), and bursting with vitality is now
second ingrained nature. It's become so easy and so natural, It's
becoming hard understand why I had such a problem with eating my

Hey --

I started taking Rhodiola based on twenty seconds of Oz on the late-
night airing of Oprah. He was talking about it as a libido enhancer, I
think, but he kept referring to it as an adaptogen. He also said it
reduced cortisol levels.

So I bought some and started taking it and I gotta say I have never
had such a noticeable, gradual improvement in symptoms ( stress
bombed, insomniac, lowwwww energy, foggy thinking) than I have with
this weird little herb. Also my body composition is changing. This
could also be due to diet and exercise, but I was developing sort of a
corticocomplex under my arms, at my bra strap and under my chin which
I knew was due to my weird adrenal meltdown. It's better now. Really a
*lot* better.

🙂. All from twenty seconds of Oz on Oprah.

Corticocomplex: (n) a composition of fat deposits on the upper
abdomen, upper back, shoulders, biceps, jaw and the back of the neck;
also "moon face" and "buffalo hump" deposits, reflecting an abnormal
cortisol fluctuation due to disease in the adrenal/pituitary axis or
hormone-modulating drugs such as therapeutic steroids.

Of course there are no documents about this on Google! Doncha know all
the cool people are already on Internet 2?

Not that I'm on Internet 2. But I bet they say "corticocomplex" over
there all the time.

Body fat gain is overconsumption, loss is balanced or underconsumption

It seems to have escaped your notice that not only can we change how
much we eat, but we can also change how much we need to eat. Therefore
it is possible to change from weight loss to weight gain (or vice
versa) without changing how much you eat.

It is difficult/impossible to dissuade people from their favorites
foods for the rest of their lives.

Numerous examples abound in the archives of ASD.

Thankfully, folks using the 2PD-OMER Approach can continue eating
their favorites, just less :-)

Exactly. Unhealthy living was my natural lifestyle. The problem with
diet plans for me, is that they require strained living, where I have
to dogedly follow a forced regimen. The ingrained predilection towards
an unhealthy lifestyle is still there, it's just being repressed by
the forced regimen. When I lose a certain amount of weight under those
conditions and a goal is finally reached after a tough uphill battle,
the drive to keep up the forced regimen starts to wilt, and the
ingrained desire for the good 'ol days of over eating and junk food
takes command again.

I'm losing 5 lbs. a month very easily and pleasantly because I
retrained my brain (which is something I originally learned to do in
order to cope with severe tinnitus) to regard food in an entirely
different way. Each and every day I think just a tiny bit more like a
"fitness nut". I read or listen to just a little bit of something by
people like Dr. Oz or Jack LaLanne and use them/it as a role model and
learning tool, to very slowly reshape my way of thinking. I don't
count calories or weigh anything or follow a written out structured
regimens or keep a journal, because I'm developing good eating habits
as second nature. Something that I don't have to think about or keep
track of, it just happens of its own accord. Unhealthy living required
no perceived effort, likewise healthy living should require no
perceived effort if it's to last me a lifetime.

I've found that for me personally, that eating less now just comes
naturally. Now that I view food as nutrition instead of an indulgence,
I don't have the desire to stuff my belly like I used to. I'd say I
eat at least 40% less than I used to, because I no longer have that
drive to feel stuffed. I'm no longer seeking foods that stick to my
ribs, I'm seeking nutrition. If it's not nutritious, it's unappetizing
to me. Once I've taken in enough nutrition, I'm satisfied. But it's
still good eats, people who sample my cooking think it's delicious.
But these days I'm more interested in what's in it and how it's going
to benefit me nutritionally, than just how it tastes.

I've been using Rhodiola for quite a long while before Oz had that
brief clip about the herb.
All I can say is "WOW," but I am also glad I didn't do the weird Oz
practice of putting it in vodka.

Instead, we use the one that has all the clinical trials, the Swedish
brand (Swedish Herbal Institute) which you buy off the web and not in
stores. It is sold by their importer here, "ProActive BioProducts," at
www.proactivebio.com, or (reading the box. . . ) 877-282-5366.

C is right. So is OZ. Rhodiola is wonderful.
