Dr. Oz and Oprah
 

Cate says she tried a quick-fix to lose weight after the holidays—by getting a colonic. Is this a good way to lose weight?

"I have to deliver bad news and I'm not embarrassed about doing it," Dr. Oz says. "We just don't have any data that they help health at all. ... The better way to clean yourself is from above by eating foods that let your body naturally push everything out. I just have never been able to find any data supporting colonics as being better for you—short-term or long-term."
