Check out Dr. Mehmet Oz on Oprah.com. He is coming around to the low carb way. He and Dr. Michael Roizen recently gave advice on that website on how to lose weight, and included such advice as not eating anything white, including baked potatoes, rice, white flour, sugar.....sound familiar? He talked about eating the right kinds of oils. They caution about the sugar in salad dressings. They talk about the right kinds of snack to carry with you at all times in case you have a craving, and alternatives to snacking (water, sex.....) Also suggested is to eat breakfast, and to limit your choices so that having breakfast becomes easy and automatic. They are still afraid of egg yolks though. Blueberry smoothies were also a suggestion I like.
Exercise suggestions are walking, light dumbells, yoga and breaking into a sweat at least once a week.
Dr. Oz also suggest fidgeting to keep your metabolism working.
All in all, considering the reach of Oprah, this is good news. There was no low fat ranting. He seems to be a convert of sorts. Not sure he would agree with my evaluation, but I can see less daylight between him and the low carb approach than before.
