I did buy the You on a Diet sometime in the last year. I haven't read it page by page though.. I look at the different topics. But now after seeing those shows, I think I'll go back.
It looks like his new book about Getting Younger.. is behind the new series on Discovery health. It is sort of like the show 10 years younger but works on the inside instead of the outside! All practical tips and no wacky stuff. I caught part of a show last night called 30 days.. and it seemed to be a show where they will use questionable methods to regain the fountain of youth. The subject last night was around 34.. a bit overweight.. He went to a certified anti aging physcian.. (I didn't know there was such a thing..) anyway, I think he was going to be on injectable steroids...
Once that premise was suggested I tuned out. Seemed like it was promoting steroid abuse.. He did have to sit in with a regular G.P. (doctor) who told him all the cons. I don't know if he went through it or not.. Maybe it was going to bring him full circle and doing it the right way... I'll have to look up the show on the net.. Just seemed like it was going down the wrong path to me..
I just wanted to clarify about this post.. I didn't write it very well...
I started off talking about Dr. Oz's book or show..and then started talking about a totally unrelated show albeit a similar theme about aging on the station FX.. I just quickly looked up the show.. and it appears that it is from a series of documentary styled shows.. (by the guy who did the documentary called "Supersize Me".. about eating nothing but fast food for a certain amount of time. I guess this particular show was about the process of someone going through questionable methods of anti aging methods. Maybe it would have been worth watching had I known that. I sure hope the message was a positive one in the end for the subject going through it. And of course that message would be to NOT resort to steroids or quack methods.. I did see the Supersize Me documentary and it in essence was not flattering of the fast food industry and the effects of a steady diet of high fat, high sodium junk. They did do physical testing on him regarding cholesterol and blood pressure..and of course weight. So hopefully the same producer was aiming to bring about a positive message on the show I only caught a glimpse of.
Here is a wikipedia about the show.. Maybe some of the topics would be of interest to others. I don't think it's my cup of tea.
