The Best Life Diet ~ It doesn't get any better than Bob and Dr. Oz

Posted on Sep 17, 2007

I have been following Oprah during her weight loss journey into her healthy living journey since the days before she pulled that little red wagon of lard onto the stage after her regret-filled liquid diet days.

RE: Her weight: I've laughed as she lost it and cried as she gained it back because it was the TV version of the nightmare I was living.

When Bob Green started helping her understand emotional and healthy eating and living I knew there was hope. From the day he was on her show I dumped every other diet that I had ever tried.

After Bob came Dr.s Oz and Roizen with You The Owners Manual and I have added their books to the ONLY things I recommend to anyone else on this journey of health with us. They are amazing in the way they make this process so simply clear.

If you keep saying you have tried everything, or that you have so many books on diet you haven't read yet... throw them out and go straight to theirs.

You The Owners Manual is not only helpful, but it is filled with humor along the way.

I can't say who's books and teachings are better... Bob's or Dr. Oz/Roizen... I wouldn't live without refering to either.... especially Bob's latest book and program: The Best Life Diet!

I am so excited that Oprah feels the same way and has them both on her show today! Looking forward to it!

I have being watching the Oprah show for over 20 years and even though I love her shows I think having Dr. Oz on is the best ever because we are talking and learning about simple every day things that we can do and eat in order to live our best life.

Thank you and Dr. Zo for educating us, job well done. I have being trying for years to get tickets to your show but I finally realized that I have the best seat in the house watching from the comfort of my home. :^0

Thank you for your review I now feel like their is hope. I have been a yo yo dieter for yrs and I have been so depressed over it. It's a struggle every day but for some reason watching Dr OZ and Bob Greene they make it seem like it's really not that hard and you can eat and not starve yourself. I have started to change my eating habit and in just 3 days I feel less bloated and have lost 2 lbs. I hope Oprah keeps them as regulars on her show because I feel so many people like me have learned alot and there is hope thansk to them.

I wonder if the better you eat, the better your thyroid functions? Anyone know anything about this? I know O is having thyroid problems and wonder how Bob and Oz are working with her on it.

I would like to know why Bob suggests Yoplait fat free yogurt for the Best Life Diet. The product contains the label endorsement, however, ingedient number two is high fructose corn syrup, exactly what Dr. Oz tells everyone to look for and avoid. This seems terribly inconsistent.

I signed up for the Best Life Diet and paid the fee of $ 169.00. I thought I would give my all to it after two months,
I still have not participated in it even though I paid for it. I have been procastinating big time. I must admit I am
one of those procastinating dieters. However, I am trying to live a healthy life style. I even considered being
hypnotized. I have not worked out in over 5 weeks. I have been a Curves member since August 2003.

Always struggling with my weight for over ten years now. I have tried so many different diet programs without success. I considered on trying to be happy with the body I do have and just give up dieting. Maybe I am going through a depression and do not know it. I will have to work on my psych again. Try, try again.

Love, Light & Peace

I know many of us are trying to start the new year right with weight loss plans. After MANY memberships to various gyms and weight loss plans, I have found posting with other women in the same boat and on the same journey is the most helpful to keep me any where close to consistant.

Most of the women that I post with are found in Oprah's Boot Camp. The threads contain the words Slipper Camp or Slipper Stompers.

Most of us have read Dr. Oz/Roizen and Bob Greene. They are both considered by Oprah has the best of the best, but they do have differences.

Bob Green (PHD~Physical/Personal Trainer, etc.) does allow some tolerance for sugars... but they are MIMINAL.

Dr.Oz/Roizen (PHD~ Heart Doctor, etc.) is more of a zero tolerance kind of guy.

They appear on shows together and respect each other a lot.

Both agree these are lifestyle changes.

I love them both.... tend to follow Bob more for daily living and read Oz for understanding ... especially my health issues.

Come join us for LOTS of encouragement and support.

I agree about Bob Greene & Dr. Oz's major differences. Both have said that you have to change your lifestyle. People have different personalities, so an "all or nothing" approach like Dr. Oz will work for some, while Bob's plan will work for others. Weight Watchers works for some, The Best Life Diet will work for some. It seems to be all about finding a lifestyle YOU can live with for the rest of your life.

I have learned a lot from all of the experts on Oprah's show and think I am finally finding the bits of wisdom that work for me.

Keep up the good work Dr. Oz & Bob Greene!

I am sure Oprah has said that she has been on thyroid medication. I'm sure Dr. Oz and Bob have been a tremendous help as far as helping her to prevent the weight gain that would normally come with thyroid problems.

I am always glad when Bob Greene and Dr. Oz address issues that affect our weight loss and gains. I wonder if they will do (or have done) a show dedicated to thyroid issues. So far that isn't effecting me, but I sure will consult their research and follow their advice if I ever do.

They both have great food and exercise advice. There was one big point that was missed though. The lady in blue that complained she only had 1 hour per day to walk and wanted to loose 20 more pounds. Bob & Oprah told her to ramp up the intensity of the workout. I would also have said to add some resistance training-at least 20 minutes per workout. She will notice an immediate difference in how she can keep the weight off. Resistance training is highly underated but very effective.
