Dr. Oz is famous for helping millions of viewers across the nation adopt healthier eating habits. But while growing up, the TV doc and heart surgeon recalls he was nothing but a meat and potatoes eater. In an exclusive video for People Magazine, Oz explained how meeting his wife Lisa changed everything.
“I grew up eating a steak every night with mashed potatoes,” Oz told People. “It was a routine, kind of how my mom showed her love for me was to make that meal.”
Although Oz does not follow a 100% vegetarian diet, you’re more likely to find “wheat” meat or seitan on his plate alongside a serving a healthily cooked potatoes.
“The foods that we eat right now tend to be foods that come out of the ground looking just the way they look when I eat them,” he said. “They’re unadulterated, they’re real foods. I try to eat them raw if I can. Figure out what gives you energy and what saps your energy.”
“I learned that you can be a vegetarian and eat food that tastes just as good as if you’re not.”
