Dr. Oz’s Favorite Supplements Of The Season
This past Friday, Dr Oz gave us a recap of his very favorite supplements for this season of the Dr. Oz show.
The Belly Blasters
Dr. Oz named thermogenic 7-keto DHEA and Forskolin, as well as stress-busting Relora as the standouts in the belly busting arena. Check out our original post on 7-keto and forskolin titled "Dr. OZ: 7-Keto, Forskolin, And Saffron."
Relora is a combination of two herbs, magnolia and philodendron, that can substantially reduce the the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol can push your metabolism out of whack, leaving you chubby and hungry.
The Appetite Suppressant
Satiereal Saffron took home the prize for best appetite suppressant. We talked about the serotonin upping ability of saffron and its capacity to help you stop snacking in our original post here.
Dr. Oz's Top Cancer Fighters
Dr. Oz named IP-6 and Vitamin D as prime cancer prevention and support. Inositol hexaphosphate, or IP-6, has been shown in animal studies to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, including colon, liver, lung, and skin cancer. Dr. Duncan recommended taking 500mg of IP-6 twice daily, once in the morning and once at night.
As Dr. Oz has pointed out, vitamin D is definitely good news for women: Higher vitamin D levels are associated with a significantly lower risk of breast cancer as well as a better outcome for those who are already diagnosed. Vitamin D is also associated with a lower risk of cervical cancer. For both men and women, higher vitamin D levels are linked to a substantially lower risk of colon cancer.

Healthy Kids Drink Water With Meals
Preschool age children who drank water instead of a sweet beverage ate more raw vegetables, either carrots or red peppers, than kids offered sweetened drinks. The scientists believe that even as early as the preschool years, children prefer drinking soda when eating salty, high fat food like fast food.
They propose that by serving children water by default in happy meals and the like, the association between sugary drinks and fast food might be lessened in the minds of children. Kids might grow up to drink less soda when eating unhealthy foods and also may eat healthier food when drinking soda. The researchers hope drinking more water will make a dent in our country's burgeoning obesity epidemic.

Dr. OZ Review: Pure Green Coffee Bean To Burn Fat Fast
On Thursday, Dr. Oz turned our attention to the mega fat burner pure green coffee bean extract. Folks, this one is looking like the real deal. Dr. Oz first mentioned it a few weeks ago for blood pressure, and shortly after, Sundrops.com wrote about its efficacy for weight loss in the March 28 post "Dr. Oz's Green Coffee Bean: A Powerful Tool For Weight Loss."
The Study
To sum it up, overweight people lost body fat without having to diet, although they did stay physically active. Participants lost an average of 17.5 lbs and 16% body fat in 22 weeks. This is a huge loss in body fat, especially for a group of people who continued to eat the same diet that contributed to their being overweight in the first place.
Daily calories averaged 2400 per day for the participants, an amount which would normally cause many people to gain weight. The people in the study burned about 400 calories per day in exercise.
How Does Coffee Bean Work?
The magic compound in green coffee bean extract is called chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid helps burn body fat in at least two ways. One way is that it helps control the rise in blood sugar you experience after you eat food. A slower, lower rise in blood sugar stresses your metabolism less, keeps your cells from manufacturing as much body fat, and makes it easier to burn the body fat you already have. Chlorogenic acid may also inhibit the activity of an enzyme that breaks down certain carbohydrates in your digestive tract, leading to less sugar absorption from your food.
This is the type of metabolic change that promotes belly fat loss.
The Dose
The researchers tested two doses: 700mg and 1050mg, and found that 1050mg was slightly more effective than the 700mg dose. Dr. Oz recommends a dose of 800mg twice daily.

Dr. OZ: Forskolin For Weight Loss
Friday on the Dr. Oz show, weight loss expert Lisa Lynn added more insight about using Forskolin to lose weight. While cautioning the audience that you need to eat a healthy diet and exercise in conjunction with Forskolin, Dr. Oz and Lisa confirmed the fat burning properties of Forskolin.
Emily, a client of Lisa's, lost 20lbs on a combination of Forskolin, diet, and exercise over a period of 4 months and Lisa informed us that Forskolin speeds up your metabolism almost automatically.
How Does Forskolin Work, Exactly?
Forskolin is the extract of a plant called coleus forskohlii, and works by flipping on a switch called cAMP. When cAMP is set on high, it keeps you from making as much fat, and it dials up the process that burns the fat that you have.
Here is my original post about Dr. OZ and Forskolin. Take a look at the results of the Forskolin weight loss study.

Dr. OZ: Chromium Polynicotinate, Blood Sugar, And Cravings
Sugar is addictive! Maybe more addictive than cocaine. In one study, animals chose sugar water over intravenous cocaine, and even cocaine addicted animals switched over to sugar the first chance they got. Sugar stimulates the same pleasure centers of the brain as illegal drugs. Just like a drug, repeated exposure can lead to cravings.
Sugar feels good, at least for a time, and for good reason. Our distant ancestors had to consume every bit of honey and fruit they could get their hands on, lest they starve. This must have been particularly true in women, who had to accumulate enough body fat to carry a pregnancy. Perhaps this is why women tend to have more sugar cravings than men.
Can Chromium Polynicotinate Help With Cravings?
Chromium polynicotinate, known also as ChromeMate, is generally regarded as the most bioavailable form of chromium. This form of the mineral has been shown to improve blood sugar regulation. When you have eaten too much sugar to frequently, your body stops being able to regulate blood sugar as well as it used to.
Good blood sugar management means that the insulin in your body does a bang up job shuttling blood sugar inside your cells to be made into energy. When your blood sugar management is subpar, your ability to make energy from the food you eat takes a hit. This situation creates a curious set of effects that includes weight gain, excessive cravings, and blood sugar dysregulation.
The Research
In a study of 42 overweight women, 1000 mcg chromium per day improved blood sugar management, and reduced food intake, hunger and cravings all day. The women in the study trended towards weight loss.

Low Glycemic Blood Sugar Control Breakfast: Feel Full Longer and Lose Weight
When researchers gave people almonds as part of their breakfasts, they stayed full and satisfied much longer and ultimately ate less food later on in the day. Foods like almonds cause a much slower rise in blood sugar than other foods and so we call these foods low glycemic, a phrase that means "low rise in blood sugar."
Protein containg foods like meat, fish, and yogurt, and fat containing foods like nuts and olive oil are all low glycemic. When eaten as part of a meal, these foods can make the whole meal low glycemic by slowing the rate at which food empties from the stomach.
Scientists believe that incorporating more low glycemic foods into meals may be an effective and relatively painless weight loss strategy.

Dr. OZ: Raspberry Ketones for Fat Burning and Weight Loss
Today, Dr. Oz re-ran the raspberry ketones show from a few weeks ago. Dr. Oz had recommended this raspberry extract to promote fat-burning for people trying to lose weight. In case you missed it, see our original article "The Story Behind Raspberry Ketones".
In the scientific study that Dr. Oz was talking about, raspberry ketones promoted fat burning in animals that had a tendency to be obese. When these animals ate a high fat diet, raspberry ketones not only slowed weight gain, but actually caused the animals who were already obese to lose weight.

Dr. Oz’s Green Coffee Bean: A Powerful Tool For Weight Loss
In a recent trial, 16 overweight young adults lost a whopping 17.5 lbs and 16% body fat in 22 weeks using green coffee bean extract. The participants were assigned a low dose at one point and a high dose at another point during the 22 weeks, with more weight loss occurring during the high dose period. The low dose was 700 mg and the high dose was 1050 mg per day.
Apart from the amount of weight lost, what's great about this study is that the people actually continued eating their normal amount of food. No dieting!
Researchers are planning a larger trial for green coffee bean and weight loss right now.

Be Thin, Eat Chocolate Often
In a study with 1000 people, researchers found that frequent chocolate eaters had lower BMI, a measurement of height and weight that estimates obesity. The average person in this study ate chocolate twice a week, but the skinnier among them ate chocolate significantly more often than that.
The key here is the frequency. The researchers don't recommend going hog wild with the amount of chocolate you eat.
Some researchers suspect that the magic ingredient might be the antioxidants found in the chocolate. Max out your benefit by choosing a dark chocolate. It will contain more antioxidants and less sugar.
