Dr. Oz's
Ultimate Shopping List
Dr. Oz wants to
make your life easier by giving you his ultimate shopping list. He
assembled a dream team from his medical unit, a nutritionist, a
consumer expert and an ER doctor to find the best of the best
products that will stream line your shopping while providing healthy
meals and snacks without spending a lot.
Dr. Oz Goes Shopping At The
Health Food Store
Dr. Oz started his shopping trip at the
health food store because people often are unsure of what to buy
there. He's got four products to support weight loss and fight
fatigue.
Dr. Oz At the
Health Food Store: Lesser Evil's Chia Crisps
First up is a super chip for weight
loss. Dr. Phillip Blanc, MD, Mount Sinai Medical Center, explained
that heart attack and stroke have both been linked to being over
weight. Dr. Blanc recommends eating Lesser Evil's Chia Crisps which
come in a variety of flavors. Each serving is about 22 chips and has
only 110 calories. Dr. Blanc says you can have two servings a day.
Dr.
Oz At the Health Food Store: Cacao Nibs
Lisa Lee Freeman, Editor of Shopsmart
Magazine, recommends shopping for cacao nibs at the health food
store. Cacao nibs are the raw material that chocolate is made from.
They come as little bits of unsweetened chocolate – many say they
have a bitter flavor. Cacao nibs do not add much chocolate flavor but
they do provide a big crunch. Dr. Oz said cacao nibs can support
healthy blood pressure levels in as little as two weeks. Ms. Freeman
recommends eating 1/3 daily. Add cacao nibs to yogurt, to top ice
cream, in trail mix and even in soups and stews.
Dr.
Oz At the Health Food Store: Sweet Balance Cinnamon
Spread
Samantha Heller, Clinical Nutrition
Coordinator at CT Griffin Hospital, says Sweet Balance Cinnamon
Spread is reminiscent of cinnamon sugar toast. Sweet Balance is an
alternative to butter with less saturated fat than butter and it
comes in different flavors. Use Sweet Balance to cook and to bake.
It's vegan too.
Dr.
Oz At the Health Food Store: Bee Pollen
Dr. Oz's choice at the health food
store is bee pollen for energy. This fatigue fighter comes as
granules and Dr. Oz says to start by eating ¼ teaspoon daily. He
likes to mix bee pollen into yogurt. It will be slightly sweet and
provides an energy boost.
Dr. Oz: Shop To Blast Belly Fat
Belly fat is all about stress hormones.
The body stores fat in the belly in case those calories are needed
later. Getting a hold on stress will support blasting that belly fat.
Dr. Oz Blast Belly Fat with Kale
In the product aisle, Dr. Oz said you
can blast belly fat with kale. Eat ½ cup of kale daily as a salad
alternative or lightly sauteed as a side dish. Kale is rich in
antioxidants and fiber. Kale chips are easy to make and are a great
crunchy swap for potato chips without the fat.
Dr. Oz Blast Belly Fat with
Pomegranate juice
Dr. Oz recommends drinking 8 ounces of
pomegranate juice a day to reduce bloating.
Dr. Oz: Shop to Blast Butt Fat
It's the first area to gain weight and
the last area to loose it. Dr. Oz says dairy products provide calcium
which supports the body in getting rid of fat cells and prevents the
storage of fat.
Dr. Oz Blast Butt Fat with Mini Baby
Bell Light Cheese
Mini Baby Bell cheeses come in
convenient snack portions making it an easy on-the-go food. Eat one
wedge a day.
Dr. Oz Blast Butt Fat with Low-Fat
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is what's left over after
making butter. Dr. Oz recommends drinking one cup of buttermilk a
day, he says it tastes like yogurt. Buttermilk can also be used in
place of high calorie sour cream and mayo and can also be used as a
salad dressing.
Dr. Oz: Shop to Blast All Body
Fat
The key is to speed up the metabolism
and stay full all day is whole grains. Dr. Oz has two whole grain
products that can help you create healthy meals that also support
weight loss.
Dr. Oz Blast All Over Fat with
Buckwheat Pasta
Buckwheat pasta is high in fiber as
well as protein to keep you full longer so you don't know you're
dieting. Eat one cup daily of buckwheat pasta. It comes in various
shapes for variety.
Dr. Oz Blast All Over Fat with
Polenta
Polenta is ground corn, also called grits or corn meal,
that is rich in complex carbohydrates. Dr. Oz says to eat one cup
daily as a soft oatmeal-like dish or toasted like a pizza top with
veggies for a healthy meal.
Dr. Oz: Shops For Healthy
Packaged Foods
While packaged food is not the
preferred way to get your meals it certainly makes things easier when
you're pressed for time. Dr. Oz asked Ms. Heller to pick the
healthiest packaged meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to save
time, provide a healthy meal, and save inches from your waist.
Dr. Oz Best Packaged Breakfast: De
Wafelbakkers' All-Natural Sweet Potato Pancakes
De Wafelbakker's offer quick to make
sweet potato pancakes that also contain spelt, a whole grain similar
to wheat. The fiber and protein content supported balanced blood
sugar levels and can help to reduce cravings. One serving of sweet
potato pancakes have 160 calories, 4g of protein, 3g of fat and run
about $3 per box.
Dr. Oz Best Packaged Lunch:
Vitalicious Vita-Pizza
There is such a thing as healthy frozen
pizza, said Ms. Heller. Vitalicious healthy pizza comes in a single
serving size with vegetarian “fake” pepperoni and veggies that's
easy to heat up and eat for a healthy lunch that will keep you full
until dinner. Each serving has 190 calories, 15g of protein, and 19g
of fiber.
Dr. Oz Best Packaged Dinner: Laura's
Lean Beef Pot Roast Au Jus
Ms. Heller said she has found a healthy
red meat packaged meal with Laura's Lean Beef Pot Roast. Add Garden
Lites' Roasted Vegetable Souffle to provide vegetables for a healthy
packaged meal that looks homemade. One serving of both products is
250 calories, 26g of protein, and 4g of fiber.

Heller's previous appearances on The Dr. Oz Show:
Dr. Oz Goes Shopping At The Drug
Store
Dr. Oz has made it easy to shop at the
drug store with his simple shopping list.
Dr.
Oz At the Drug Store: Witch Hazel
Apply witch hazel with a cotton ball to
rough skin or oily skin and even acne-prone skin. Witch hazel is
great to sooth insect bites, itches, and rashes.
Dr.
Oz At the Drug Store: Ginger Chews
To support digestive issues, Dr. Oz
recommends having ginger chews in hand. Ginger chews work as an on
the go all purpose digestive soother and can support bloating,
cramping, nausea, and gas. Ginger chews can also curbs cravings and
play a role in healthy inflammation in the digestive tract.
Dr.
Oz At the Drug Store: Epsom Salt
For aches and pains, Dr. Oz says to
keep epsom salts on hand and the best part is that they don't expire.
Two cups epsom salt in a warm bath can sooth away body aches, relieve
sore muscles as well as reduce swelling and bruising. If you don't
want to take a bath, soak a towel in warmed epsom salt water and
place on the sore area.
Dr.
Oz At the Drug Store: Personal Steam Inhaler
A personal steam inhaler can help
reduce allergy symptoms, explained Dr. Oz. Humidity in the steamed
air is inhaled and eases muscles in the nose and throat allowing for
the mucus to breakdown and be removed from the body. Use for 5 to 10
minutes or go longer. Cost is about $20.
Dr. Oz Goes Shopping At The Big
Box Store
Shopping at big box stores can help
save as much as $600 per year if you know what to look for. Ms.
Freeman says you can save lots of money if you buy the store brands,
as much as 25% savings. Be wary of the big bags of food, especially
fresh foods, which can go bad quickly.
Dr. Oz at the Big Box Store: Daily
Multivitamin
Multivitamins have a long shelf life so
Ms. Freeman says you can buy in bulk because you take it everyday.
Buying at the big box store can save about $40 a year on
multivitamins. Dr. Oz said to read the label and be sure the
multivitamin contains the alphabet of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and D
at about the 100% of the daily recommended value. Don't get the mega
doses, Dr. Oz explained, because the body just can't process the high
levels and therefore it becomes a waste.
Ms. Freeman said it's not a good buy to
get pain relievers and antacids in bulk because people are not using
them daily and they'll expire before using it all. Instead, get the
generic brands at the drug store which are the same quality as the
name brand.
Dr. Oz at the Big Box Store: Organic
Chicken Breasts
You can stop complaining about Dr. Oz
recommending organic meat all the time if you shop at the warehouse
store. Buy organic chicken breast in bulk then freeze they'll stay
fresh in the freezer for up to a year. Big box stores charge about
$4.99 a pound for bulk chicken breasts. A family of four can save
about $400 a year and reduce exposure to GMO's and pesticides.
Dr. Oz at the Big Box Store: Glasses
and Contact Lenses
This tip surprised Dr. Oz, save tons of
money on eye glasses and contact lenses at the big box stores. Ms.
Freeman said her team compared pricing of 18 eye glasses retails and
found that Sam's Club and Costco did well in all the important areas
of price, quality, and service. Ms. Freeman said you save $40 to $60
on eye glasses and on contacts the savings can be up to $150 a year.
Full eye exams cost under $50 at big box stores.
Dr. Oz Shops The Dollar Store
Dr. Blanc is back to share how to shop
smart for life-saving products at the dollar store. What really gets
Dr. Blanc is that people visit the ER for issues that could have been
easily prevented at home.
Dr. Oz Shops the Dollar Store for
First-Aid Kits
First-aid kits are so inexpensive it
makes sense to have a kit in the home, one in the car, and another at
work.
Dr. Oz Shops the Dollar Store for
Anti-Slip Mats
Nine million ER visits annually are
because of unintentional falls. Anti-slip mats can be laid in places
in the house where the floor can be wet, such as the bathroom and
kitchen, to prevent falls.
Dr. Oz Shops the Dollar Store for
Electric Socket Covers
Curious toddlers can be protected from
electrocution with inexpensive socket covers.
Dr. Oz Shops the Dollar Store for
7-Day Pill Holder
Dr. Oz says at $1 each a 7-day pill
holder is a steal. To prevent overdosing and to prevent forgetting,
even prevent mistakes a pill box is a great tool.
Dr. Oz Shops the Dollar Store for
Clothespins
Clothespins are Dr. Blanc's personal
favorite first-aid tool. During a nose bleed, add pressure to front
of nose with a clothespins to encourage blood clotting. If the nose
is still bleeding after 10 minutes then go to the ER.
