Calorie is a calorie. Is a calorie.

Such a great point re: Dr. Oz! I was *just* thinking about that, mostly because he has a "Dr." in front of his name and people trust him. His show is usually on when I'm at the gym and I practice selective listening. Like, I don't think any harm can come from his / his guest's suggestion to tune into what you're feeling when you get a food craving (this has actually been pretty interesting study for me over the past week). Nor do I think that his "5 Amazing Uses for Avocados" are going to do me any damage. But I do find his "YOU MUST DO THIS NEW DIET" bit each week super obnoxious. It really concerns me for the viewers who don't know any better. Also, whoever produces his show most certainly worked in the news business prior - the teasers are SO sensationalistic. Ugh.

J C. and bahhhhh like this comment.

*Not that I have anything to say about that! :-) Good job for finding what works for you and finding balance!

bahhhhh

I agree with you. I'm on board with the cravings mindset (mostly, you may remember my vitamin obsession, ha!) and sure, I think avocados are good. But it's the "miracle diet" talk and the "life changing product" he promotes-- that you KNOW he's getting mad bank from and has no basis on real life-- like science-- I get so angry. Too many people believe his nonsense, and that's why he is rich, and it makes me want to punch the television when I see his stupid face. *cleansing breath*
