Last week I was watching Dr. Oz, whom I admire greatly for his passion for helping people get on a healthy track, and he announced his grocery list. He created this grocery list to help people who want to be healthy know about all the wonderful foods they can have and that they should stock their kitchen with. I too have been developing a grocery list as I discover all the wonderful delicious and nutritious foods right at your local grocery store.
His list is very similar to mine, except he allows seafood, meats, cheese, and dairy. What I don't understand is since Dr. Oz was an early fan of Dr. Campbell's China Study, why does he tell his viewers to eat dairy? I'm thinking that the reason is because the masses are just not ready for such a change to their diet and most people just want to lose weight. They're not thinking about long-term consequences to eating dairy and how it's linked to so many cancers and diseases of the heart. So I guess if you are just concerned with losing weight, then go for the lean meats and low fat dairy for now. But I hope that once you reach your ideal weight (a healthy BMI), that you would wean yourself off the dairy and meat, maybe not 100% but try to not eat it as much as possible.
My next mission is to really find out why Dr. Oz is not promoting a vegan diet. Stay tuned...
