Federal Workers Get Health Advice from Dr. Oz: Eat Less This Holiday Season
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), recently reminded his federal employees to make healthier choices during the holiday season. In an email titled "Crushing Cubicle Cravings," Oz shared tips on how to avoid overeating and snack mindfully.
Oz advises staff to set their intentions in advance, decide how many treats they will allow themselves to enjoy, and practice portion control. He also recommends eating off a small plate, taking small portions of snacks, and savoring each bite before putting the fork down.
The doctor's advice comes as no surprise, given his history of promoting unproven medical tips surrounding weight loss. However, in this case, Oz is sharing his expertise with employees who are obligated to receive his emails.
CMS spokesperson Christopher Krepich defended Oz's efforts, saying that the doctor knows it's not easy balancing a healthy lifestyle and a demanding job. He added that the feedback from employees has been positive.
Oz's advice on healthy snacking during the holidays is particularly relevant for federal workers who may be facing long hours and stress during the busy season. By offering practical tips and encouragement, Oz aims to help his staff stay healthy and energized throughout the year.
As CMS oversees healthcare coverage for over 160 million people, Oz's role as administrator is critical in ensuring that millions of Americans access quality healthcare. While some have questioned his credentials and medical expertise, Oz remains committed to promoting healthy habits among federal workers.
In a move that has been met with skepticism by some, Dr. Oz is using his position to promote healthy snacking and self-care strategies. As the holiday season approaches, it's clear that he wants to help his employees prioritize their well-being and make informed choices about what they eat and drink.

i mean its cool that hes trying to promote healthy habits but like isnt this just a ploy for him to get good karma or somethin? lol anyway i read on how he told them to set intentions and stuff so i guess thats a thing now. idk if its gonna work out tho cuz fed workers are already stressed out during the holidays 
maybe they should just have a cookie swap or smthn
at least he's trying tho & his tips might actually help some people prioritize their health 
gotta give him that 
. He's always had some pretty sketchy health advice in the past, but at least now he's using it to help people who actually need it 
. I mean, we've all been there - working long hours and feeling like we don't have time for ourselves. But honestly, it's better late than never 
. And yeah, maybe some people will be skeptical at first, but who knows, maybe this will actually work 
. Can you imagine if more CEOs and leaders started prioritizing employee health? 
That would be amazing! 
I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to overindulge? But seriously, Dr Oz's advice on healthy snacking is actually kinda genius. Like, setting intentions in advance and practicing portion control can make all the difference. And honestly, eating off a small plate sounds like a total game changer for me 
Who needs a doctor when you got Google? Dr Oz's tips are straight outta a Wikipedia page 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to feel good about themselves after a long year of dealing with paperwork and bureaucratic red tape? His tips on eating less and snacking mindfully are probably good for most people, but what about those of us who already have anxiety around food or have serious health issues?
. I mean, it's not like he's doing this out of the goodness of his heart. But hey, if it makes his employees happy and healthy, who am I to argue? The real question is: will these tips translate to the rest of us non-federal workers who might be struggling to make healthier choices during the holidays?
especially when you have long hours & stress. It's about making mindful choices, not depriving ourselves completely, but finding that balance 
having a small plate for treats & savoring each bite can make a big difference in how much we actually eat. 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good cookie or two (or ten)? But seriously, setting intentions and portion control are major game changers. I've been guilty of overindulging myself during the holidays too, but it's all about being mindful and savoring each bite. It's not rocket science, but sometimes we need a gentle reminder to take care of ourselves. I'm rooting for Dr. Oz on this one, even if some people are skeptical about his credentials 
anyway, it makes sense that they'd want to prioritize their health during the holiday season when they're already stressed out from work...
️. What I wish he would say is "it's okay to indulge every now and then" rather than "crush those cubicle cravings". It's not about depriving yourself of treats but finding balance. My kids are always telling me the same thing, moderation is key when it comes to sweets 
.
. I'm all for mindful snacking and portion control, but let's be real, it's hard to resist the temptation of holiday treats 
. Maybe a more relaxed approach would work better? 
. setting intentions and practicing portion control is totes doable even when you're stuck in a cubicle all day 
. can't wait to try out some of these tips and crush my cravings this holiday season 
! I mean, who doesn't need a little motivation to stay on track with healthy eating, especially during the holidays when all the tempting treats come out? It's awesome that he's using his platform to encourage federal workers to prioritize their health and well-being.
I'm already thinking of some tasty and nutritious options to try during the holidays... maybe even some new recipes to share with friends and family 
. Bring on the healthy snacking vibes!
back in the day. It's crazy how much he's moved up the ladder to become CMS administrator, right? 
Still, I guess it's better than nothing, right?
