Dr Oz Gruve Monitor and ECGC Supplements

Dr Oz invited a woman from the audience named Kim to the stage to talk about her weight loss efforts.  She said that she would love to lose 50 pounds.  She said she has gained a lot of weight and wasn’t happy with her body anymore.  She told Dr Oz that she has been exercising and is on a diet but she can’t seem to lose weight as fast as she would like.

Dr Oz recommended that she try the Gruve Activity Monitor as a way to help Kim stay active and burn more fat.  The Gruve Activity Monitor is a device that will measure the amount of activity that you get throughout the day.  At the end of the day you can plug the Gruve into the computer to find out how many calories you have burned throughout the day.  This looked like a really cool device and would love to hear any reviews of people who have tried this product!

EGCG Supplements For Weight Loss (Green Tea’s Natural Fat Burner)

One of the best natural ways to burn fat is through EGCG supplements.  EGCG is a potent antioxidant that is found in green tea.  EGCG will boost your metabolism naturally and help you burn fat!  EGCG is the secret ingredient behind green tea’s ability to help people lose weight.  Take 500 milligrams per day.  Dr Oz said that if you are already on a diet, EGCG will help you to stay on the diet.

  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 roasted red pepper (deseed, peel, and then chop)
  • 1 roasted green pepper (peel, take out the seeds, and chop)
  • 2 chipotles en adobo
  • 2 roasted garlic cloves
