They just keep coming...

My coworker showed up Tuesday with a new bottle of pills. I thought he said it was Garcia-Cambodia, turns out it was Garcinia-Cambogia. I said, whatever it was, it sounded like it was named after an adult entertainer. He didn't think that was funny.

Anyway, as most of you know, but I did not, it is the new "super supplement" being pushed by Dr. Mehmet Oz. (I have been to Turkey, I love the name...) If I am not mistaken, and I might be, didn't he push the Acai Berry some years ago? Through Oprah that time?

Another "supplement" I have noticed the last couple of years is chlorella. Fresh water algae dried, and pressed into a tablet. One of the side effects we read about at work yesterday is a green discharge after a bowel movement. Where I come from we call those goose poops.

I just thought I needed to share, the "miracle stuff" keeps coming. And people, occassionally me, keep buying it.

LOL, eat food, Over43!
That stuff is all tablets and capsules. I buy something like fish oil capsules and then forget to take them because I hate to take pills. But I will eat oily fish . . . I'd probably eat an acai berry if I knew where they grew, but I won't buy a bottle of acai berry tablets, not even from the Great Oz!

My friend got the dr oz tablets and she said they were the biggest waste of money. Also mentioned when she wanted a refund the company was really hard to deal with. No thanks I'd rather spend my money and time on making and eating real food

My mother-in-law believes everything that comes out of his mouth and then tries to push it on me. I wish he would just stop.

Dr. Oz annoys me. He doesn't seem very informed for a doctor. Every day he has a new "miracle" product.

I actually started taking Garcina Cambogia on Jan 1 and I can't believe how my appetite is like nil and MY carb cravings are gone...

I know people will frown at this stuff, but I needed to try something to help curb my cravings for carbs...actually pretty amazing stuff....not sure I'm happy with not having an appetite but for now while building my habit works for me.

My husband actually convinced me to give it a try and he planned on trying it. The stuff works so good I even sent my best friend Louanne a bottle.
