Dr Oz: Diet Myths with Science Bob
Dr. Oz is ready to share some secrets about dieting that may surprise you. On his show today, Five Diet Myths Busted, he says he had to call in a Fire Marshall to prepare for the extreme experiments he is about to do on stage. Let’s face it, we have heard many ideas for dieting and losing weight, but what are we supposed to believe? Which ones will really guide us to success and which ones are just diet myths? Doctor Oz has the answers and he is ready to bust some diet myths and open your eyes to the reality of some of the biggest dieting myths out there.
Dr. Oz says that only 5% of people can blame their thyroid on being fat, yet another one of Dr Oz’s Diet Myths!
Do You Eat More Calories When You Skip Breakfast? Diet Myth!
Do you eat more calories by skipping breakfast? With the help of expert, Science Bob, and a little liquid nitrogen, Dr. Oz is showing you the answer with a visual science experiment. So many people believe they shouldn’t eat unless they are feeling hungry, but what that does to you physically is continue to build your hunger, rather than shrink it. Eventually Dr. Oz says your hunger will explode, which leads to overeating and your diet goes up in flames. He shared that a recent study showed if you only skipped breakfast, you would consume more calories the whole rest of the day than you would otherwise. The Bottom Line is that waiting until you’re hungry to eat is a myth. You should actually eat several times throughout the day according to Dr. Oz.
Only 5% of People are Fat Because of Their Thyroid
Could your Thyroid be making you fat? – A slow metabolism is directly connected to your thyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes hormones that keep your organs moving and working, but if your thyroid stops secreting the hormones your heart begins to slow down. When this happens, other organs slow down as well, but where this becomes a bigger problem is that your intestines begin to slow down and fat cells build up, squeezing each other with no place to go, so they begin to bulge. This is why, Dr. Oz says, that this myth is actually true. He goes on to say, though, that before you celebrate you should know that it is very rare and only about 5% of people can claim that the thyroid gland is their problem. He says it certainly exists, but for most people it is not the main reason you cannot lose weight.
Does Eating Fat Make you Fatter? Diet Myth!
Do You Get Fatter From Eating Fat? – So many people believe that you have to eat salads to lose weight. They believe that eating other foods like fats and carbohydrates will make you fat rather than help you to lose weight. Science Bob explains that when you eat carbohydrates and protein, it actually helps to increase your energy and fat burning potential. Dr. Oz says the same is actually true for when you eat fats, so this one is actually a myth. Eating fats does not actually make you fatter. He explains that fat is an essential nutrient and even helps to keep you full, but he adds to make sure you are eating healthy fats like olive oil.
