Dr. Oz's Biggest Ambush Ever:
Meal Makeovers to Lose Weight
Dr. Oz Meal Makeover: Pulled
Chicken Sandwich from Atlanta
Atlanta is all about BBQ, all year
long. BBQ is full flavor and also high in fat, sugar, and calories.
Chef Richard Blais says he can cut out the unhealthy aspects and
increase the flavor. He wants the folks of ATL to create new
traditions with leaner, more flavorful recipes.
Chef Blais makes over Pulled Pork by
replacing the pork with chicken. He brines the meat then grills it
with a power packed marinade. Replace the sugar in the BBQ sauce with
the acidity of vinegar.
The Numbers
Traditional Pulled Pork Sandwich has
690 calories per serving.
Dr. Oz Meal Makeover: NY Chicken Parm Sub
These elementary teachers in NY work
hard and don't have time to make their own lunch so they order in –
every day. Not one of the take-out meals would get Dr. Oz's approval
especially not Chicken Parm extra deep fried with extra cheese. A
sandwich like that packs 1,200 – 1,500 calories, more than a day's
worth.
Chef Donatella Arpaia, restauranteur
and judge on The Food Network's Iron Chef America, says you can't
find a sandwich like that Italy. America's take on Italian food is
filled with fat and calories and you can't even taste the chicken.
Chef Donatella makesover this fatty favorite to bring out the real
flavors.
Marinated chicken is grilled and topped
with fresh cherry tomatoes and yellow tomatoes, basil and arugula.
The Numbers
Traditional
Chicken Parmesan Sub has 750 calories, that's the standard without
the deep frying and extra cheese.
Chef
Donatella Arpiaia's Chicken Parm Hero has only 498 calories.
Dr. Oz Meal Makeover: Tacos
from Philadelphia
Tacos and food trucks are spectacular
partners in Philadelphia yet the food choices are not necessarily
healthy. Chef Jose Garces, restauranteur, Iron
Chef, and cookbook
author, makes over a Philly favorite and starts with choosing a
leaner cut of beef.
Steak tacos are often made with fatty
short ribs but Chef Garces goes for a skirt or strip steak to cut the
fat. The steak marinade is filled with herbs, spices and, of course,
garlic. Top the taco with a slice of avocado instead of a huge
portion of guacamole, salsa and and some cheese.
The Numbers
One serving of steak tacos, or 2 tacos,
has 717 calories.
Chef
Jose Garces' Steak Tacos has only 546 calories.
Dr. Oz Meal Makeover: Italian Food
in Washington, DC
Dr. Oz and Chef
Mike Isabella ambushed a family in their home where they were loading
up on pasta, bread and tennis ball-sized meatballs. One plate was
enough to feed an entire family yet it was a meal for one adult in
the family [and not a vegetable in sight].
Dr. Oz says you
don't have to over load on carbohydrates to enjoy Italian food.
Making healthy food can absolutely mean flavorful food.
Chef Isabella brings this family a
healthier version of Italian with his Shrimp
Scampi sauteed in olive oil instead of butter with noodles cooked
in a wine sauce and topped with cherry tomatoes.
The Numbers
Traditional
shrimp scampi: 840 calories.
Chef
Isabella's Shrimp Scampi has only 464 calories.
Dr. Oz Good, Better, and Best Ways to Burn Fat Fast
Dr. Oz has three recommendations he
calls the good, better, and best ways to burn fat.
Dr. Oz: The Good
Way to Burn Fat – The
Gruve
The good way to burn fat, says Dr. Oz,
is to measure how much activity you get in a day. The
Gruve is a program that track your daily activity and intensity
of activity. Clip the monitor to your clothes as you go about your
day then plug The
Gruve into your computer to see a breakdown by time of how many
calories burned.
Cost for The
Gruve: $100.00
Dr. Oz: The Better
Way to Burn Fat - Vegetarian
Chili
To fill you up and boost metabolism,
Dr. Oz recommends his Vegetarian Chili, click
here for the recipe on DoctorOz.com. Beans in the chili provide
filling protein and fiber and the spices enhance the metabolism. Dr.
Oz says to adopt this habit of eating healthy and filling foods to
help move your body in the right direction towards weight loss.
Dr. Oz: The Best
Way to Burn Fat – EGCG Supplement
An ideal solution to weight loss is
something that does the work for you to lose the weight. Dr. Oz ECGC,
a powerful antioxidant found in green tea, boosts metabolism to burn
fat and if you're on a diet he says it can help you stay on a diet.
Dr. Oz recommends taking 500mg daily of ECGC extract.
In addition to these three tips, Dr. Oz
says an essential part of weight loss is to make sure you're getting
7-8 hours of sleep a night. He says eating the right combination of
protein and fiber at dinner time can help support a good night's
sleep.
Dr. Oz Good, Better, and Best
Supplements to Fight Aging
Dr. Oz shares his choices for the best
supplements to fight aging the good, best and better
Dr. Oz: The Good
Supplement to Fight Aging - Alpha Lipoic Acid
(ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid is naturally made in
the body however the body may not produce enough for a variety of
reasons. Dr. Oz says taking ALA, 300mg daily, helps to attack high
blood sugar levels which can scrape the lining of the arteries and
age the body too quickly. Arteries that have been scraped are not
longer pliable or supple and instead are stiff and can rupture
leading to catastrophic health concerns.
Dr. Oz: The Better
Supplement to Fight Aging – Plant
Sterols
High cholesterol levels in the blood
can wear down organs in the body, says Dr. Oz. Cholesterol can form
plaques in the arteries blocking blood flow and if a plaque ruptures
it can travel through the body leading to death. Dr. oz says plant
sterols, 3g daily, helps the body get rid of cholesterol to help
reduce associated health risks.
Dr. Oz: The Best
Supplement to Fight Aging - Magnesium
High blood pressure is the most
important driver of aging. Dr. Oz recommends taking 400mg daily of
magnesium to support healthy blood pressure levels.
Hibiscus tea
regulates cortisol levels, the stress hormone, and can help keep the
body young inside, says Dr. Oz in a bonus tip on aging.
Dr. Oz Good, Better, and Best
Ways to Look Younger
Every skin care routine involves a
cream but which ones are the best? Dr.
Jeannette Graf, dermatologist, shares her tips for good, better
and best ways to look younger.
A moisturizing cream with SPF is great
to apply in the morning but Dr. Graf also recommends that the cream
have antioxidants to help reduce free-radical damage from the sun,
the number one aging factor. Dr. Graf recommends Glytone
Antioxidant Anti-Aging Cream, cost: $88.00.
Dr. Graf says retinol is the most
important ingredient everyone should be using in their skin care
regimen. As we age, the skin becomes thin and loses elasticity. Dry
skin is like a dry sponge and retinal creams can support hydration,
moisturizing, and plumping the skin. Dr. Graf recommends Eau
Thermale Avene Triacneal Cream [acne and anti-aging], cost:
$60.00.
As we age, we lose our natural enzymes
and our natural body's natural ability to remove dead skin cells. Dr.
Graf likened it to an apple coated in flour, dull, then the
exfoliating cream wipes away the flour and the apple is shining
again. An exfoliating cream can help to remove dead skin cells and
other debris that builds on the skin to bring back the skin's natural
glow. Dr. Graf recommends Skin
PhD AHA 7 Fruit Amidroxy Exfoliater, cost: $49.00.

chip-sized slices and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the chips over and
bake for another 20 minutes. Dr. Oz says these chips are only 3

chips I put the oven to 350F and I probably baked them between 30 and

sprinkled with salt. Delicious!
