The Dr. Oz tv show recap: what to do when you hit the weight-loss plateau

Once we diet and exercise, we have less weight to carry around. When this happens, metabolism slows and weight-loss hits a plateau. It's a good thing because it shows you've made progress. When this happens:

1) Change diet:

A) Add high-volume, water-based foods:

• watermelon
• cantaloupe
• celery

B) Eat peppers: they speed metabolism and if eat them at breakfast, will not be as hungry at lunch

C) Eat protein: it uses more calories to burn

2) Change work-outs:

Add difficulty, for example: walk and run, eventually until you just run

The Dr. Oz tv show recap: deadly bacteria hiding in your kitchen

It's been found the kitchen has more deadly bacteria than the bathroom. Dr. Oz tested 3 female audience member's homes and found:

First audience member:

• Shigella, one of the most dangerous bacteria and causes dysentry, in the kitchen sink
• Streptococcus pneumoniae, causes mennigitis, and found in the dishes drain mat

Second audience member:

• Klebsiella oxytoca, causes pneumonia, found on cutting board

Third audience member:

• E. Coli, most common bacteria found in fecal matter, found in refrigerator

Solutions:

1. Wash sink 2 times per week and pour cleaning solution down drain where most bacteria thrive.
2. Use plastic cutting boards: 1 for meat and 1 for vegetables
3. Store meat in self-lock plastic bags and place on bottom shelf of refrigerator. This way, bacteria are contained and meat doesn't drip onto shelves under it.

And that's a wrap for the Dr. Oz tv show recap: episode 43.
