Dr. Oz is best known for his work with Oprah on health and weight issues. His diet is called “You: On a Diet!”  and it is getting great reviews for its success. The program says it will help you get thinner and drop inches.

Dr. Oz outlines 5 ingredients to avoid including: hydrogenated oil, sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, enriched flour and bleached flour. (these ingredients are found in processed foods – our supermarkets are loaded with processed foods these are most packaged foods – so make sure you read the ingredient label of the products in the stores before you make a purchase). One of the biggest contributors to obesity and weight gain for American’s today is Processed foods. On the Oprah show, Dr. Oz provides 10 tips for losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Oz 10 tips include:

1. Measure inches, not weight

Take measurements — especially around your waist at your belly button. For the best health, your waist should be 1/2 your height.

2. Walk every day for 30 minutes

The best indicator of how long and well you will live is your exercise capacity. Since you only need 30 minutes daily, go with easy things. Take the stairs. Park further away in the parking lot. If you’re going to watch TV, ride your stationary bike. Just get moving.

3. Clean out your fridge

Read labels of all the food you have — if it’s not within your diet plan, get ride of it. Make sure to eliminate foods that have any of the following ingredients listed as one of the top five ingredients: saturated fat, trans fat, simple sugars, enriched bread or high-fructose corn syrup.

4. Shop wisely

Buy whole-grain or whole wheat bread. It has to be 100 percent whole grain, otherwise it’s just another way to package enriched flours with most of the nutrients removed. If you buy juices, make sure it is 100 percent juice and 100% vitamin C, or it is most likely high in sugar probably high fructose corn syrup. Fill up your cart with vegetables. If you buy it, you’re going to eat it — don’t go to the store when you’re hungry and more likely to purchase things on impulse.

5. Eat more fiber

Every time you eat fiber, you’ll feel more full. Fiber also assists with slowing down the digestive process for more balanced blood sugar levels throughout the day. Get more information on how fiber increases weight loss.

6. Eat the same every day

Since many choices cause overeating, select the meal you hurry through the most, and then set yourself up for success by eating the same healthy meal every day.

7. Don’t eliminate fat

Fat activates necessary hormones. If you eat a little bit of healthy fats before meals, your brain will think you’ve eaten and you will most likely not overeat. Nuts are a great choice for a healthy fat.

8. Get back on track

If you make a mistake, don’t quit. Just get right back on track.

9. Get the right equipment

Buy some running shoes that fit — they are good for both walking and running. Get a copy of the 20-minute “YOU: On a Diet” workout program. It doesn’t require weights and can be completed quickly.

10. Share your successes

When you have successes and share them with others, not only does it make you feel good, but it also motivates you to keep going.

  1. I believe that avoiding prepared foods could be the first step in order to lose weight. They may taste very good, but packaged foods possess very little vitamins and minerals, making you eat more to have enough vigor to get through the day. For anyone who is constantly eating these foods, changing to grain and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more vitality while eating less. Great blog post.
