Dr. Oz strives to teach dieters the facts about their bodies, while also providing individuals with diet tips, recipes, and supplements for support.

How Does Dr. Oz’s Plan Work?

Dr. Oz begins his diet book by teaching dieters about how the foods that are consumed influence specific bodily functions. He asserts that, with the right balance of food and exercise, dieters can benefit from noticeable changes in one’s physical appearance and overall health. Added to this, Dr. Oz advocates for specific wellness strategies, such as:

• Advocates that dieters should not focus on a scale or specific weight
• Asserts that one’s waist size is the best indicator of one’s health
• The body’s chemistry influences one’s ability to lose weight
• Dieters should walk for at least 30 minutes each day

Food and Nutrition

Dieters can begin on Dr. Oz’s plan by cleaning out all unhealthy foods from one’s kitchen. Dr. Oz asserts that unhealthy foods consist of items such as:

• Over-processed items
• Foods that are high in sugar and/or containing “empty” calories
• Many pre-packed foods / chemically preserved foods
• Foods containing high fructose corn syrup
• Foods that are hydrogenated
• Foods containing trans-fats

As dieters learn more about nutrition and healthy food options, Dr. Oz provides dieters with meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Added to this, dieters are provided with tips, such as:
