Recently, Mr. Williams saw a Dr. Oz
Show episode on emotional eateing and realized that he too is an
emotional eater. When he is sad, when he's nervous, angry he turns to
food. Author of three fitness books, how can he look so fit and say
that he is an emotional eater? There are many shapes and sizes to
emotional eating and there are many forms of body image issues.
Diagnosed with clinical depression, he
admits that he can't control his emotions. When his emotional downs
happen at home, Mr. Williams says he will sneak food. The night
before filming The Dr. Oz Show that aired in January, Mr. Williams
said he was so nervous about the appearance because he agreed to
remove his shirt on camera that he ate an entire box of Girl Scout
cookies – in a matter of minutes.
At age 56, Mr. Williams says he's a
Hollywood fraud, like everyone else in Hollywood. He tells Dr. Oz
Show viewers and people across the country about getting healthy yet
he can't do it all the time himself and he suffers from emotional
eating.
Where do these issues with body image
come from when he's in good shape, talks about nutrition and fitness?
In 1974, at age 19 and Marines, Mr. Williams tore a pectoral muscle
while working out. He went to the doctor and 8 hours later was in
surgery having a double mastectomy. Left butchered, he says, by that
surgeon who removed both breasts, both nipples, lymph nodes sadly the
lab reports came back saying that he didn't have cancer. The surgery
was unnecessary.
Scarred, humiliated, ashamed of his
body, Mr. Williams says he couldn't look at himself in the mirror
because of the scars left from this surgery.
Today, Mr. Williams is working out
every day, he's paying more attention to his diet and he says he's
waking up each day to life instead of sitting around waiting to die.
Mr. Williams says any one can get
healthy at fit at any age. He doesn't want people to look at him as a
role model he wants them to look at themselves and work on
themselves.
Dr. Oz Emotional Eating
Montel Williams says he has taken
control of his emotional eating and shares how anyone can conquer
emotional eating with his simple recommendations.
Dr. Oz #1 Reason for Emotional
Eating: Boredom
Low levels of dopamine cause people to
eat and boredom lowers dopamine levels. Mr. Williams recommends
taking kola nut extract which contains caffeine and micro nutrients
that can help remove the boredom prevent emotional eating.
Dr. Oz #2 Reason for Emotional
Eating: Anger
Hemp seeds and chia seeds are filled
with protein, hemp is actually the highest source of protein from a
seed. When the body is digesting protein, mood can be calmed. Add to
seeds to salads or a smoothie.
Dr. Oz #3 Reason for Emotional
Eating: Stress
Mr. Williams recommends his Chill
Chocolate Goji Berry Blast to bust stress. Grind together 3
tablespoons of raw chocolate and 4 tablespoons of goji berries and
add to 1 can of coconut water. The drink has a nutty flavor. Coconut
water, says Mr. Williams, is a face lift from within. He explained
that two servings of coconut water daily will support hydration of
the skin from the inside out.
Dr. Oz #4 Reason for Emotional
Eating: Sadness
Serotonin levels are low when people
are feeling sad. Mr. Williams recommends a product that he endorses
it and has become a part of the company that makes it. Happy Hunger
Chews are a chewy snack that contains saffron extract which has
been shown to raise serotonin levels.
Mr. Williams says the package
recommends eating 2 chews daily, he recommends taking 3 daily for the
first 8 days then to go to 2 chews a day. Taking the product since
December, Mr. Williams says the last cookie he ate was around
Christmas and he hasn't craved sugary treats since.
Dr. Oz had his medical unit research
saffron. They found a study where 60 female participants took saffron
and experienced a decrease in hunger and cravings.
[Hunger Chews are made by the same
company the makes SafSlim, another product endorsed by Montel
Williams and presented by him on The Dr. Oz Show. Click the links to

In addition to these suggestions, Mr.
Williams says people have to exercise everyday, eat clean by removing
processed white flour and sugar to truly support health and emotional
health.

Dr. Oz Busts Skin Care Beauty
Myths
All those promises in beauty care
products can leave customers confused. Deborah Sarnoff, MD,
dermatologist and member of Eucerin's
Skin First Council, joins Dr. Oz to discuss common skin care myths.
Dr. Oz Beauty Myth #1: Should
people use different skin care routine in the summer than in the
winter?
MYTH
– Dr. Sarnoff says people believe that in winter the skin needs
more moisture and in the summer the skin needs less moisture. That
belief is not true. In the summer people are swimming and sweating
more and are showering more. All of these activities will strip
moisture from the skin. If you're going to shower more often then,
Dr. Sarnoff says, shower quickly and use:
- a liquid moisturizing soap; and
- moisturize immediately after getting out of the shower.
Dr. Oz Beauty Myth #2: You
have to drink 8 glasses of water a day to moisturize the skin.
MYTH – There's not a lot of
science behind the idea that drinking more water will moisturize the
skin, says Dr. Sarnoff. Water does help to bring nutrients to the
skin, she explained. To moisturize the skin, Dr. Sarnoff says to look
for moisturizers that contain the humectants glycerin, urea, and
lactic acid. Humectants moisturize and support the skin in retaining
water.
Dr. Oz recommends taking 2 tablespoons
of flaxseed oil daily to moisturize the skin from the inside out. He
also recommends eating oranges and bananas that provide natural
electrolytes to also help moisturize the skin from the inside out.
Dr. Oz Beauty Myth #3: A
light weight moisturizer doesn't work as well as a heavy weight
moisturizer.
MYTH: Today's moisturizers, says
Dr. Sarnoff, can be light weight while providing deep moisture. Light
weight moisturizes contain three key ingredients: humectants to bring
water to the cells, ceramides to help retain moisture, and
glycol-glycerol to raise moisture from deep layers of the skin to
moisturize the upper layers of skin.
The right moisturizer can penetrate
into skin and support the body in creating moisture in the deep
layers of the skin and then to bring that moisture to the surface.
Dr. Sarnoff recommends moisturizing twice a day, in the morning and
evening, after cleansing.
Dr. Oz Solutions Bad Hair Days
Rodney Cutler, celebrity stylist and
owner of Cutler Salons shares some tips for saving a bad hair day.
Dr. Oz - Stylist Secret to Banish
Bad Hair Days #1: Limp Hair
Often limp hair is caused by using too
much product, says Mr. Cutler. Women will add product to increase or
create volume but, all that product typically builds up and weighs
hair down. Hair spray and shampoos can both cause hair to become
limp. Built up product can create a crust on the hair follicles
preventing natural oils from moisturizing the scalp and hair. If left
untreated, build up can clog pours, cause hair loss, slow hair growth
and even cause an infection.
Solution for limp hair: Mr. Cutler
recommends using a home-made brown sugar scrub to exfoliate and
moisturize. Mix 4 tablespoons with 2 tablespoons avocado oil. While
in the shower, massage mix into the scalp then rinse.
Dr. Oz - Stylist Secret to Banish
Bad Hair Days #2: Restore Color
Bad shampoos with harsh detergents may
provide that squeaky clean feeling to hair but they also strip away
hair color. Some women may see a loss of color within two weeks after
a salon treatment. Mr. Cutler recommends using a kitchen dye to
restore hair color that may be fading.
Kitchen Dyes - All Natural Color
Restorer
Blondes: Use chamomile tea, enough for
the treatment.
Redheads: Use one part beet juice and
one part carrot juice.
Brunettes: One part espresso to two
parts conditioner.
Shampoo first to open the cuticle then
mix your color, 1 part color agent to 2 parts conditioner. Apply
conditioner and let sit 20 minutes. Rinse then use straight
conditioner.

fall asleep. [Click

Dr. Oz Tips for Better Sleep:
Lavender Essential Oil
The scent of lavender has been shown to
promote relaxation and support sleep. Make your own infused lavender
oil spray. Mix a teaspoon of lavender essential oil with ¼ cup of
vodka into a large container of water. Shake the solution and pour
into spray bottle. Spray directly onto your pillow case or onto a
cloth that will sit on top of your pillow case. Dr. Oz says you can
also use a lavender body wash before bed.
Dr. Oz Tips for Better Sleep:
Journaling
Before bed, Mr. Williams recommends to
unwind, turn off the TV, turn off all noise. Think about what you did
today day that's worth talking about tomorrow. Write down a few ideas
before going to sleep. He says this technique helps him sleep well
through then allows him to wake to something good – knowing that he
accomplished something good yesterday and that he can accomplish
something good today.
