Endocrinologist: Have a lot of belly fat? (Do this before bed)

We have always been told to eat less and exercise a lot to lose weight.

Now, a renowned endocrinologist says all of that is only a half-truth.

According to Dr. Mehmet Oz, a Stanford University graduate, weight loss specialist, and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, most "diets" and "exercise plans" do not work because they do not attack the root cause—the true origin of weight gain.

Recently, on his social media, Dr. Oz issued an unusual challenge: he asked his followers to pause any diet and go back to eating normally, without restrictions.

Why?

It’s simple: he provided an alternative, completely homemade weight loss method. This "pink gelatin and turmeric trick" to get lean could be worth thousands of dollars if it were sold by the weight loss industry.

"This gelatin and turmeric trick works almost like a bariatric effect. You might even feel outraged after seeing how simple it is to lose weight after this."

Dr. Oz said in an interview on his TV show.

Thousands of Americans who tried this "pink gelatin and turmeric trick" said it allowed them to lose localized fat, even those stubborn spots that bother us so much.

Dr. Oz’s followers nicknamed this new technique the "Bariatric Pink Gelatin" because this homemade method can make you lose 9 to 26 pounds in weeks, as if you had undergone surgery.*

After his Instagram "Stories," Dr. Oz released a complete video with a step-by-step guide for the public—free and without ads—where he describes exactly how to prepare this homemade method.

"If my pink gelatin and turmeric trick helps at least one person get thinner and regain their self-esteem, I will be honored to know that I contributed,"

Dr. Oz commented.

After that, the video went viral on social media.

First, it was shared by users on Facebook, then on YouTube, and it has already accumulated an incredible 7 million views. And that number keeps growing.

And that number keeps growing.

So far, the comments and feedback have been excellent, with thousands of people reporting they are losing weight without suffering and in a fast way.
