I don’t agree with Dr. Oz ~ From Chef Marian

Here’s where I don’t agree with Dr. Oz….

Dr. Mamet Oz
Dr. Mamet Oz

You want to make sure each meal contains foods from each of the three vital categories: protein, fiber and healthy fats.

Ok. I get that. But really… what are you recommending?

(Look at how he’s leaning forward looking not so happy now)! lol

Protein

  • Cheese
  • Chicken
  • Eggs
  • Fish
  • Greek yogurt
  • Enriched hempmilk
  • Jerky
  • 1% Organic milk
  • Lean beef
  • Quinoa
  • Salmon
  • Shellfish

I don’t agree with Dr. Oz.

Cheese? Chicken? Milk? You’re recommending milk??? Did we not see Forks over Knives? Did new information about how 5% animal protein steers you away from cancer and heart disease…. while 20% or more steers you towards it?

(I like the quinoa, Dr. Oz. I like the quinoa).

Fiber

  • Almonds
  • Apple
  • Baby carrots
  • Barley
  • Cantaloupe
  • Energy bars (carefully read labels)
  • Flaxseed
  • Quinoa
  • Strawberries
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Watermelon
  • Lentils
  • Oatmeal
  • Oranges
  • Pears
  • Pistachios
  • Whole wheat pasta

Whole wheat pasta? Really? I don’t agree with Dr. Oz. How about all the people allergic to wheat? There are so many people in that condition not knowing why they are experiencing tiredness or headaches after a meal…. this is the most undiscovered epidemic yet! Why are we setting the standard to Whole Wheat?

(I like the sweet potatoes, Dr. Oz. I like the sweet potatoes. Stick them in your quinoa).

Healthy Fats

  • Almonds
  • Almond butter
  • Avocado
  • Cashew butter
  • Energy bars (carefully read labels)
  • Peanut butter
  • Pistachios
  • Salmon
  • Walnuts

Peanut Butter? Can you tell me what is the worst nut to eat? ….. think… think… think… That’s right. Peanuts!

(I like the avocado Dr. Oz. I like the avocado. Stick some in the quinoa with the sweet potatoes).

Other Stress-Reducing Foods

  • Bananas (because of high potassium)
  • Cinnamon
  • Grapes
  • Lemons
  • Tomatoes

Can you pulllease tell me: what does a banana do? It SPIKES your hypoglycemic index. It’s SUGAR Dr. Oz. It’s sugar! Why don’t you disclaim and say: Eat no more than half a banana in any one sitting?

(I like the Cinnamon Dr. Oz. I like the Cinnamon. Stick it in your quinoa, with the sweet potatoes, avocado and … and… can I add some carmelized onions and mushrooms to that? And steam the quinoa in an organic mushroom broth)?

Weeell… maybe we can get along after all…..

So that’s my rant on Dr. Oz…. (all in good fun).

Hope you enjoyed!

Happy eating,

Chef Marian
