    Just to be certain, while I understand (and agree with) your point...

    ...I don't think you can do #2 on your list "forever".

    Wow, totally surprised by this thread. I searched to find others that are trying the program as I wanted to share ideas. I realize everyone has to approach a healthier life differently and there is no cookie cutter method for those that are trying to loose weight. So I am a bit disappointed in the thread as I search for fellow individuals that have found this is working for them.
    This is my take. It appealed to me because it looked like something I could do.
    It has turned out that it is simply a subsitution of food choices for me.
    Now certainly I want to loose weight, and definitely not fast. So I loosely applied the quantities and daily have eaten something not on list in moderation.
    The two choc. covered donuts or sugary fiber bar with that tall cup of Intern. coffee is now a glass of water and lemon and the fruit smoothie.
    The fried chicken with fried mushrooms and sugary condiments with sweet tea and fries is now grilled fish/chicken w/veggies on the list. Not to mention a big dessert many days is no longer happening.
    My snacks were candy bars, they are nuts presently.
    Dinner was often grilled but it was more of a meat and potato type dinner. Beef and carbs. Veggies were minimal and starchy. Now, and this the best part I am eating new ways to prepare a delicous meal within the guidelines of this plan. And this is where I had hoped to find like minded friends.
    Am I shocking my body or detoxing? yes probably but I have been poisoning it prior to that.
    However, it provides a starting place for me to develop new habits, better choices for me.
    So I invite anyone that is in the same place that I am in (early transition) to not be discouraged by those that do not agree the program is a good starting place. I know one person that is using it as a stepping stone toward better choices. I would love to connect up with others that are or desire to start using the plan.

    I learned to eat new ways, prepare delicious meals and exercise on a regular basis. This is commonly referred to as a lifestyle change, it does not require any guidance or plan from Dr Oz. The best part is that it works and I didn't waste money on supplements that don't work.
    ...this is where I had hoped to find like minded friends.
    You'll have a hard time finding love for Dr Oz on this site.

    So, you aren't following the plan, but you can't understand why people are saying don't follow the plan? Seems legit.

    I can tell. I was holding out hope that someone might have wanted to post but was just deterred as there was so many negative comments.
    That's okay. I'm not normally a fad diet type of person. Last attempt with any name associated to a "diet" was Weight Watchers and that was over 20 years ago. Common sense tells me what I need to do, but that hasn't been much of an incentive apparently for me.
    This particular two week plan put me on track. I'm glad for that.

    And yes, I agree, I'm making a lifestyle change. But I have to give credit to the two week plan to being my turning point (no matter how badly Dr. Oz is disliked on this site)

    Your post was appreciated. Many take to sarcasm and troll like behavior.

    I like the plan, because as he states it was derived after reviewing several other plans. Such as Paleo, Wheat Belly, and a few others. I personally had been 80% Paleo, so the dairy and wheat stuff were already not on my diet plan. I am currently reading Thje Abascal Way, and learning about food the cause and can quiet inflammation in your body. Since I was already a smoothie drinker in the morning, that was easy, already had all the stuff, except rice protein powder (no grain in paleo). The Greek yogurt is very filling, and doesn't seem to upset my stomach. I do not put my berries in the smoothie, but instead mix them with my 2% greek yogurt. Salad and or Veg soup for lunch, easy. Dinner is good for my entire family, 1/2 cup brown rice, fish or chicken, a vegetable, and maybe a sald with lemon or balsamic and olive oil. After the two weeks, I think we will continue with this eating plan (exceptions, date night dinners, ect... although, I will probably still stay close to plan). I will however add more fruits and veggies. I am never hungry, sometimes a little too full. I was out around lunch time yesterday, and just packed up an ounce of almonds, and some cut up low GI veggies and a bottle of water. Like I said, maybe it is easy for me because, I have already cut out sugars, wheat, dairy, and processed foods.

    I am doing the plan, are you? I think it is very easy. Makes grocery shopping a breeze. I think that it is a great way to reset your body and then go from there. We will probably continue on as lifestyle 80%. I feel great! Not a lot of weight I need to lose, and my family doesn't need to lose any. I actually may do some food sensitivity testing after I finish the 2 weeks. Eggs, Wheat, Soy, Corn, Dairy.

    I have been looking for a page somewhere of supporters. do you know of any?

    You sound like me about this. I am very satisfied. I don't have loads of weight to lose, I just want to feel healthy and not sluggish. My family of four love the dinners, hubby has the smoothie for breakfast, but we are all on our own for lunch. I often feel too full, and don't snack. I have never been on a diet before, with the exception of Weight Watchers after the birth of my two kids. I really didn't consider WW a diet though, you can eat what ever you want and lose, as long as you stay within your points.

    ......unless you stay on as a lifestyle change, only adding in more varied fruits and vegetables. But yes, if you go back to gluttonous ways, you should gain your weight back.

    I have been in the plan for a week. It's a low calorie diet that stresses vegetables. No big deal, really. I was tracking my calories (and not my exercise) and just wanted to change things up for a week or two. It's been way easier then I thought it would be. I have lost 6 pounds (and if 5 lbs is just water weight, who cares? Bloating looks and feels bad). I do about 6-8 hours of moderate to intense cardio a week so I added an extra cup of kefir for the protein. If anyone wants to get/give support on the plan, message me :) I was looking for other feedback from people who were on it or had done it too.

    I watched another episode where he referred to the 2 week plan. Audience members introduced a few recipes that fit under the plan. I'm learning how to cook different veggies and so far so good. Liking the flavor and ease of the new recipes.

    Interesting replies. I am pretty sure no one is going to get less healthy eating veggies, a 6 oz of meat, some rice and a smoothie in the morning. But hey, if you want to go on eating your sausage & cheese on a bagel for breakfast, a cheeseburger for lunch, and pizza for dinner, and call that healthy, that's your choice. I agree that the foods Dr. Oz suggests to eat would be difficult to eat for the rest of our lives, but it's only because we were programmed into thinking pancakes and eggs for breakfast is just fine, and Lunchables are a healthy lunch. We all can stand to change a few things in our diets, whether it be drinking less coffee or cutting out dairy. The 2-Week Diet is an ideal, and if we can move towards eating more foods like those in the diet plan, we'll all be healthier.

    The dozens upon dozens of people who can diet totally fine on iifym with "bad" food in moderation would beg to differ from your point of view.
    Funnily enough, most people's diets fail because they did a diet that forbid them from eating certain things or outright told them "eat this and that every day for breakfast from now on".

    Look up the Ketosis diet, it's similar minus the brown rice, I love it it's hard the first few days, but then all cravings go away and you feel amazing and light.
    Add me as a friend if you are interested. There is a group as well on the site.

    Good luck

    I was raised pretty much on such a diet. I have never drunk alcohol (by choice), nor coffee. Both beverages gave my parents headaches.. Water was always the drink of choice. Greek yoghurt always featured as did heaps of greens, legumes and moderate servings of lean meats and fish. Never sausages. A loaf of bread would last a week in our household of three, used mainly to dunk in eggs or mop up the Greek salad dressing at the bottom of the bowl, that is if we did not drink it. There was the occasional pasta dish, but mum had a delicate stomach so abstained from pasta or wheat laden foodstuffs always claiming that they were not real food. We had rice occasionally and potatoes. I grew to be tall and lean, full of energy and clear headed. I have remained largely this way however curiosity and marketing have corrupted what was essentially bestowed upon me through my mother's kitchen. The difference with the diet Dr Oz recommends is that we did eat plenty of fruit in season, but then we were more active in the summer months. We also used honey in tea, mainly mountain or camomile brews.

    Dr Oz's diet is not a stretch. My mother now almost eighty has radiant largely wrinkle free skin, is not overweight and still has a large proportion of black hair. She has never used dyes for her hair (she even cuts it herself) nor creams for her skin (she wears a cap when outdoors). She is on no medication. I figure she is living proof of a good diet and one that bears strong similarity to what Dr Oz recommends.. For my part, unlike my mother who stuck to the traditional meals, I have taken on more foods from other lands, ie. chia, seaweed, curry etc. I think what Dr Oz proposes is about learning basics and keeping it simple.

    my advice would be to use that hour to work out instead of watching Dr. Oz.

    I'm doing the plan. I'm on day 8.

    To the OP I would say give it a try. I don't see it as a fad diet when I look at what the meals are and are not comprised of. As someone who has also done the Atkins in the past this diet plan is simpler in a day to day sense because I have lacked the sweets/carb cravings. My vice is sweets.

    To the nay sayers in regard to whether this plan can be maintained I feel that it can. When you have in your mind that you are on a plan and are seeing results you can make healthy decisions to continue to be committed to the plan and to continue to see results. For example, I went to lunch with a friend. She ordered the meatloaf with Mac and cheese. It sounded completely delish at the time but I considered if I wanted to indulge and have a set back when, at the time, I was already 5 days in. I stuck with the program and ordered a salad with salmon and sub'ed the ranch dressing with a vinaigrette. Simple. Today when I stepped on the scale and saw 7 lbs gone in the 8 days. I'm glad I did make that healthy choice.

    I think for me a high sugar and high carb diet doesn't work for me. And restricting them is going to work for my body. (This diet plan doesn't CUT them, it restricts them in quantity and type.)

    Previously, I was doing calorie restriction and eating the foods I wanted and working out 6 days a week with cardio and strength training and didn't see the scale budge! I saw the plan broadcast while I was on the treadmill no less and figured it was worth a shot.

    Having some carbs in the meals throughout the day will help me keep my cravings down and my energy up (a problem I had with Atkins). My long term plan as I phase out of the Oz Rapid Weight Loss is to up the carb intake (Cliff shots to fuel a run), decrease the soaking (really get dry mouth in the am after), and put back my coffee (miss that jolt). No other real alterations as I've felt full after meals and by having the healthy unprocessed snacks handy I get through the day without the usual lethargy and brain fog I've had from eating tons of wheat based carbs (wheat at every meal i.e. cereal-sandwich-dinner roll/pasta etc).
