Dr. Oz Quick Fixes for Weight Loss; You don’t have to cut your favorite flavors out of your meals in order to lose those extra pounds. One of Dr. Oz’s most inspirational guests, Erika, lost 170 pounds without cutting dressings or sauces out of her diet. Dr. Oz Quick Fixes for Weight Loss – Erika’s Hot Sauce-Mayo-Salad Dressing
Erika replaced her favorite condiment with a much healthier Greek yogurt recipe, which is only 79 calories per serving. Dressing can be one of the biggest enemies to your waistline if you eat salads regularly. Many of the dressings that come in ready-made salads or in bottles at your local grocery store can ruin your calorie count without you even knowing it! Enjoy Erika deliciously simple alternative to this diet destroyer.
Dr. Oz recommends the next time you have a craving, ask yourself if you are really hungry. If not, try smelling one of your favorite foods instead of eating it. Studies show that smells trick our brains into thinking we’re eating without any actual calorie intake, Erika smells bananas before dinners!

Hi ~ Thanks for posting Erika’s Mayo Recipe! Don’t know why Dr. Oz wouldn’t have posted it on his site! But I am enjoying all the info on your blog, thank you!
One thing – on air Erika stated her mayo recipe had Greek yogurt, dill, worcestershire sauce and horseradish… I am wondering if the recipe you posted omited the horseradish intentionally or on accident? If by accident, how much should be added? Thank you!!
Hi There,
Thanks for visiting Healthy Body Daily – The horseradish is in Erika’s hot sauce recipe, not the mayo recipe…enjoy the recipes.
