Dr Oz 2 Week Weight Loss

Now, and this the best part I am eating new ways to prepare a delicous meal within the guidelines of this plan.

...this is where I had hoped to find like minded friends.

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 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.
