What is the Dr. Oz Diet?

Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen studied people who lost weight and kept it off. They noticed that dieters who cut 400 calories a day ended up yo-yo dieting and regaining weight. Fasting shuts down your metabolism, Dr. Oz says, so when you bow to temptation and devour a candy bar, most of the calories are quickly deposited as fat.

Cutting 100 calories a day—the equivalent of a Granny Smith apple—is a dieting strategy that most people can sustain for a lifetime, he says. So slow and careful wins the race in the long term.

Weight loss is not the main theme of the Dr. Oz Diet. Instead, the program is based more on overall health and disease prevention than weight loss. This is monitored by waist circumference, while the number on the scale is much less important. According to Dr. Oz, an ideal waist size for a 30 year old female is 32 ½ inches and 35 inches for a 30 year old male. The reason for the emphasis on waist size is because fat tissue in the abdomen area is a key determinant to many risk factors of medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The diet promotes healthy lifestyle habits focusing on nutrition, fitness, and a healthy mind. This is not a quick fix diet to shed 10 pounds in a week. It is not about getting into skinny jeans. Rather, it is about providing you with information on how your body works in hopes that supportive choices will be made toward nurturing your body to its optimal capacity. As an end result, excess body weight will be lost.

That is the basis or the Dr. Oz diet. How can you apply this to your own situation?

Here are the guidelines to the Dr. Oz Diet:

  • Measure your waist at beginning of program
  • Walk 30 minutes a day – no excuses
  • Find a buddy for support
  • Eat nine handfuls of fruits and vegetables each day
  • Reduce our caloric intake by just 100 calories per day and lose one pound a month
  • Restock your kitchen with healthy food
  • Do not count carbs or calories
  • Eat when you are hungry
  • Reduce portions by using smaller plates (9 inch diameter instead of 11+ inch)
  • Eat fish at least three times a week such as salmon, mahi mahi, flounder
  • Avoid trans fat and saturated fats at all cost
  • Eat 1 ounce of nuts each day (one small handful)
  • Avoid white food such as enriched wheat flour and simple sugar, including high fructose corn syrup
  • Drink one or two glasses of water before a meal to help fill you stomach up with fewer food calories
  • Take a multi-vitamin that includes 800 micrograms of folate, 400 international units of vitamin D, 1200 milligrams of calcium, 400 milligrams of magnesium, 2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids (if you do not consume the recommended three servings of fish each week)
