Dr. Oz: Randy
Jackson's Shocking Health Secret
Randy
Jackson, of American
Idol fame, talks to Dr. Oz about his health secret and how he
overcame tremendous challenges with weight and diabetes. Food was
comfort for Mr. Jackson. One day in 2004, at 355 pounds, Mr. Jackson
was tremendously thirsty, sweating profusely with flu-like symptoms.
A trip to the emergency room resulted in the diagnosis of Type 2
Diabetes.
What is your
relationship with food?
Mr. Jackson said he
grew up with a lifestyle that surrounded salty, fat-filled foods that
gave him comfort but also led him to weight issues. With a sedentary
lifestyle working in an office, he found himself gaining weight and
eventually reached 355 pounds.
To overcome his
addiction to food he had to change his perspective of food and the
role it played in his life. He had to learn that food was for
nourishment instead of a hobby.
Learning he had
become diabetic with Type 2 Diabetes, hit him like a ton of bricks.
Mr. Jackson's doctor had been telling him for five years that he
needed to exercise and eat better but the words were lost on him
until he found himself in the hospital. In the emergency room, his
blood sugar level was over 500 and Dr. Oz said that was a toxic
number that could have taken his life right then and there.
Once Mr. Jackson
was able to understand and accept his diagnosis of diabetes, he
started researching and talking to people. He turned to bariatric
surgery to jump start his weight loss and to get a handle on his
health issues. Bariatric surgery, Mr. Jackson said, is not a cure for
weight loss or for diabetes. He started loosing weight rapidly and
eventually told people he had the surgery. Ten years after surgery,
Mr. Jackson is 120 pounds lighter.
Two “women”
rushed the stage Michael
Strahan and Jimmy
Fallon as excited fans of Randy Jackson! Dr. Oz said they were
there to prove that Mr. Jackson had lost so much weight that two
“women” could lift him up. Mr. Strahan and Mr. Fallon did just
that and together they picked him up.
Bariatric surgery
is not for everyone and for the surgery to be successful a new
releationship with food needs to be created. Mr. Jackson said he
never misses a meal and he focuses his food on healthy, low-sugar
options. Exercise was also a key to his success but Mr. Jackson
didn't want to put the label of exercise on activity. Instead, he has
found activities and movement that he loves and wants to do. Today he
plays tennis four times a week and he loves dancing.
Mr. Jackson has
teamed up with Journey for Control to create a diabetes support
organization Taking
Diabetes To Heart. The website features recipes, tips on talking
to your doctor, knowing your health number, encourage people to work
with their doctor to create a health plan that fits your individual
needs.
Bariatric surgery
has helped thousands of people around the world and it's still
controversial, it's not right for everyone. Dr. Oz has put together a
guide to understand bariatric surgery. Click

Dr. Oz:
Hungry Girls Turns Naughty Foods Nice!
Hungry
Girl Lisa Lillien, best
selling author and host of her own cooking show, is
back and this time around she's turning naughty holiday foods into
healthier nice options. Ms. Lillien said it's all about finding
healthy swaps for your favorite foods. There's always a way to put a
health spin on a high-calorie and indulgent holiday food and the
Hungry Girl has it all figured out.
Dr. Oz: Hungry
Girl Takes Naughty French Toast and
Makes It Nice
Did you know that
French toast is higher in fat and calories than pancakes? The secret
to Hungry
Girl's Apple & Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Nuggets is
light hot dog buns that have 80 calories and 4g of fiber. Stuffed
with reduced fat cream cheese, apples, and cinnamon. Use a little
butter in the pan and a little cooking spray so you get the butter
flavor while keeping the calories low.
The Numbers:
Traditional French
toast has a whopping 727 calories per serving.
Hungry
Girl's Apple & Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Nuggets
recipe is lighted up to only 254 calories per serving.
Dr. Oz: Hungry
Girl Makes Naughty Jalapeno Poppers and
Makes It Nice
Jalapeno Poppers
are a holiday favorite but they are no friend to the waist line.
Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien has lightened up this holiday favorite with
one of her favorite recipe helpers and calls it Hungry
Girl's Big Blue Buffalo Jala' Poppers. Instead of bread crumbs,
high fiber breakfast cereal ground up in a coffee grinder to give a
texture similar to bread crumbs and add spices to the cereal. Hungry
Girl's favorite Laughing Cow creamy Swiss cheese and blue cheese give
this dish both creaminess and flavor.
The
Numbers:
Traditional
Jalapeno Poppers have about 816 calories per serving.
Hungry
Girl's Big Blue Buffalo Jala' Poppers have only 106
calories for three poppers.
Dr. Oz: Hungry Girl Takes Naughty
Cheeseburger Quesadilla and Makes It
Nice
The secret to Hungry
Girl's Cheeseburger Quesadilla is high fiber
tortillas that provide half a days fiber with 100 calories, or less.
Top with a vegetarian tofu burger patty and fill with pickles and
onions. Ms. Lillian says this recipe will beat your fast food
cravings with a healthy meal.
The Numbers:
A traditional Cheeseburger Quesadilla
has a shocking 1440 calories per serving.
Hungry
Girl's Cheeseburger Quesadilla have only 270
calories per serving ! That's like saving nearly a whole day's worth
of calories!
Dr. Oz: Hungry Girl Puts a Skinny
Twist on Holiday Cocktails
Cocktails are one way to celebrate the
holiday's but all those drinks can pack a huge caloric punch. Did you
know that tonic water, often used as a cocktail ingredient, has as
much sugar and calories as regular soda? Go for calorie-free or
low-calorie club soda instead. Drinks with heavy cream sure taste
great but can make it hard to fit in that classic little black dress.
Ms. Lillien has some tips to lighten holiday cocktails, including the
creamy ones.
Dr. Oz: HG-ified Egg
Nog
One cup of egg nog typically has about
420 calories and 20g of fat! Who drinks just one cup? The secret to a
skinny egg nog that is just as flavorful as it's calorie-rich cousin
is instant vanilla pudding mix. You'll get all the creamy goodness of
traditional egg nog without all the calories. Mix light vanilla soy
milk, whole box of vanilla pudding mix, with a low-calorie sweetener
and vodka and you have Hungry
Girl's Spiked No-Nonsense Nog.
Four sisters from the audience were
invited to try the Hungry Girl's Nice egg nog and they proclaimed it
to be “like Christmas in a glass!” Dr. Oz said he can't tell the
difference from traditional egg nog.
The Numbers:
Remember
that traditional egg nog has 420 calories and 20g of fat per cup.
Hungry
Girl's Spiked No-Nonsense Nog has only 155
calories 1.5g of fat.
Dr. Oz: HG-ified

talents to work on Miranda Lambert's favorite margarita to create
HG-ified
Mirandarita.

Dr. Oz: Food Experts Give Holiday
Safety Tips
Dr. Oz has assembled a panel of three
food experts to answer viewer questions about food safety during the
holidays.
Dr. Oz Food Safety: Is
it OK to cut mold off food and eat the food?
The panel gave this question three
OK's.
Chef
Aaron McCargo, Jr. host of Big
Daddy's House on
the Food Network explained that this won't work on soft
foods soft cheese don't but it's great for hard cheeses. Dip your
knife in flour for a cleaner, easier cut and cut off the mold and
then one inch of cheese.
Dr. Oz explained that some mold grows
like a tree with a blob on top and veins of bacteria that grow
through the food. For cheese, Dr. Oz said cut off the mold and at
least one inch and you're good because the type of mold that grows on
cheese does not have those bacteria roots. Bread, yogurt, and soft
cheeses will grow bacteria with roots so those foods have to go right
in the trash if they develop mold.
Dr. Oz Food Safety: Is
it OK to eat raw cookie dough?
Two panelists voted OK and one was
undecided until she provided an explanation.
Eating raw egg poses a risk of
salmonella but only 1 in 20,000 eggs will have salmonella, said
Frances Largeman-Roth,
food expert. Chances are low you'll get sick from licking the spoon
when making cookies, so she gave it an OK. However, pregnant women
and children shouldn't taste the cookie doug until the cookies come
fully cooked out of the oven.
Dr. Oz Food Safety: Is
it OK to leave food out, buffet-style, for three to four hours?
All three panelists said it's NOT OK to
leave food out for three to four hours. Seamus Mullen,
restauranteur and author of Food Hero,
says you only have about 2 hours
listeria every 20 minutes will double
may take weeks and up to 2 months to get sick
more than 2 hours throw it out and if
in doubt throw it out
