Dr. Oz & Weight Loss - the new PB&J

It's a 'whatever Oz says goes' kind of decade. Dr. Oz endorsements are heavily commercialized, but also backed up with medical evidence and focus groups. These are three natural supplements he promotes that I also have taken and researched:

 Green coffee bean

It's hard to walk into any nutrition store without hearing the buzz on the green coffee bean. It contains a class of compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids, more specifically Chlorogenic Acid, which is an effective weight loss agent. The green coffee helps break down fats, carbohydrates, and sugars while also boosting metabolism. It should be taken 2-3 times daily and 30 minutes before meals. The benefit of the green coffee bean is that it does not have stimulants, so you don't get the typical weight loss pill jitters. Make sure you purchase one that does not have fillers. You can find it at GNC for $29.99.

CLK

The reason I picked Cellucor's CLK is because it combines four different weight loss agents in a non-stimulant supplement. This is always my go-to when people ask for a caffiene free option. Not only does it contain Carnitine, which I have previously posted the advantages of, but also CLA, raspberry keytones, and 7-Keto, all of which are endorsed by Dr. Oz. You can get this product as a 30 or 45 day supply ranging from $50-75.

Garcinia Cambogia

This is Dr. Oz's newest addition to the weight loss hall of fame. Similar to the green coffee bean, it is used to support appetite control and metabolize fats. The secret ingredient is the Hydroxycitric Acid. Since it derives from native fruit, there are no stimulants in this product. You also take it once or twice daily before meals. 

Like I always say, these products are not miracle pills. But, in combination with diet and excerise they can help you reach your goals. They all take about a month to really start seeing results, so stick with it and stay dedicated. Three months until bikini season!
