Dr. Oz YOU On A Diet

Dr. Oz YOU On A Diet

Oprah's favorite doctor with a healthy weight loss plan.

Top Rated Diets of 2024
BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND Start the Diet Now Advertisement

YOU: On A Diet was written by Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen to help people identify a realistic approach to slimming their waistline, and not necessarily losing weight. By explaining ordinary body functions and processes, they teach you how everything you put inside your body affects those functions. And when the right balance of food and exercise are found, you'll realize noticeable changes in your body and health.

A few key takeaways from YOU: On A Diet include: - Forget the scale, waist size is a much more important measure of health - Body chemistry rules over will-power - Walk every single day - Clean out your fridge, and start fresh

DIET and NUTRITIONDIET and NUTRITION

You'll start YOU: On A Diet by cleaning out your pantry and refrigerator. It's likely most of the items in there aren't going to be up to par for Drs. Oz and Roizen. Over-processed foods, those containing high fructose corn syrup, anything that says hydrogenated, trans-fats and other food ingredients that do more harm than good have to go immediately. You'll replace them with whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats.

YOU provides meal plans that include breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks. None of them require a lot of time to prepare. Some easy food rules to live by from YOU: On A Diet include:

  • Keep healthy snacks at arm's reach, you never know when you'll get hungry
  • Stop eating three hours prior to bed
  • Eat until you're full, don't go past it
  • Manage portion size by using a 9" plate
  • Save dessert for every-other-day

There are a lot of recipes included in the book. You'll also receive guidance for reading and understanding food labels, as well as eating out.

EXERCISEEXERCISE

You're encouraged to walk every single day for half an hour. Following your walk you should do about five minutes worth of stretching. You also need to do the 20-minute workouts three times a week. Details for these are included in the book and on the website and available for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of expertise.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

This is probably one of the most exciting lifestyle programs to hit the market in recent memory. Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen have completely thrown out the window the melancholy and disappointing approach to weight loss and healthy living. Their book is funny and quite an enjoyable read. They breakdown complex scientific principles and explain them so that you completely understand why you can and can't eat certain things. Best of all, they've introduced their "waist-loss" approach, explaining how the size of your waist is far more indicative of your health than a constantly changing number on the scale. Oprah and thousands of other fans have jumped on board the YOU: On A Diet fan train, and you shouldn't be disappointed if you join, too.

It was informative and easy to read but I had to alter it a bit to avoid the monotony. I suggest using Dr. Wansink's 'Mindless Eating' in coordination with this book - that's the one that REALLY helped me.

The cleansing soup is the most expensive and terrible tasting food we have ever had in our home. We followed the receipe to the letter, yet this stuff is terrible! Dr. Oz should inform people this is terrible before they spend the money.

Dr Oz. My mom and I watch you everyday! Thank you for helping to form Americans into knowledgeable healthy people. I need help though. I am about 60 lbs over weight. It's so hard to juggle work, kids, husband, housework, friends....on and on and on....and still take time to think about ME! I need help with that. I feel like I am at such a critical age to do this. I need to get healthy. I hate to sound like a begged but that is what I am doing I guess. Plz help. Plz? My doctor said f I don't slow down and quit worrying about everybody else I am waiting for a heart attack because that's what's going to happen if I don't do this. Thank you

Which one of Dr. Oz's diet books would help my husband? I was in the process of buying your diet book for my husband but I see that you require exercise. My husband has neuropathy (feet) and can only stand 15 min's at a time. he presently sits at the table and eats all day long, which of your diet books would you suggest that would help him?. He needs to loose about 80 lbs.

Dr Oz Show is very informative. I love it! Last month in the Women's World magazine there was a Dr Oz smoothie recipe for weight loss (belly buster) which contained chia seeds and psyillium and flaxseed. I wanted to try it but lost the recipe. Can anyone help me.

Dear Dr. Oz.
We have no problem in our R.P.B. FL. acreage
and the people who have a problem, bring it on to them self's by eat the wrong food, bug spray,
put salt in their water, buy water with chemicals in it etc. I live here 20 years, drink my well water
and use no medication at 69, but I don't do what these stupid people do/

I know this is for reviews but I did not know where else to ask so I hope you can help. I was not able to see your show on infertile men and these fruit smoothies. I have been trying to find any info because my husband and I have been trying for over a year and the doctor says it will not happen because of very low count and motility. It is my biggest wish to have a child of my own. Can you please help with any advise on how to reverse this.
