Dr. Oz's Rapid Weight-Loss Plan?

Dr. Oz is the biggest Tool I know. I have worked him, and he is the most arrogant, cocky, self-important jerk I have ever come across. Doesn't mean this won't work...... just sayin'.

Dr. Oz is not well-received around here; this is one of the numerous reasons why. You don't have to "jump start" anything as long as you're in a calorie deficit. And that is too restrictive for my tastes.

Bonus points for a detox bath, though!

Getting my popcorn and pulling up a chair...

I think this diet hit everything on the bingo card!
-Eat however much you want of food from a very limited list? Check
-Wheat, sugar, dairy are all apparently evil? Check
-No exercise? Check
-Detoxing (soup & bath!!!)? Check
-Magic Smoothie? Check

OP, you don't need to do something so restrictive to lose weight. You can if you want, but its unnecessary.

@SingRunTing, I don't think your assessment is fair.

-Eat all the veggies you want and 6oz of protein for 2 weeks. Seems legit to me.
-Wheat, sugar, dairy are all apparently evil? No one said anything about "evil." Though, if YOU want to eat all the sugar you want, be my guest.
-No exercise? It's not mandatory for this plan, nor is exercise mandatory for ANY diet if your intake is less than your expenditure, right? Right.
-Detoxing (soup & bath!!!)? You don't like soup? What's wrong with soup now?
-Magic Smoothie? Fruit is rather magical, isn't it? I guess that's why it's good for us.

It's not that he says exercising isn't required. I completely agree that its not required. Its that he says that its expressly forbidden. It says that you CAN'T do extra exercise. I do have a problem with that.

6 ounces of protein is going to provide you somewhere in the neighborhood of 35-40 grams of protein per day. This is well below the RDA for both men and women (and the RDA is well below commonly accepted minimums). Perhaps for 2 weeks that won't HARM you, but it's certainly not going to do you any good.

-Wheat, sugar, dairy are all apparently evil? No one said anything about "evil." Though, if YOU want to eat all the sugar you want, be my guest.

Nothing wrong with any of those, even sugar, as long as you're within your appropriately set calorie and macro goals.

-No exercise? It's not mandatory for this plan, nor is exercise mandatory for ANY diet if your intake is less than your expenditure, right? Right.

Right. Except exercise is good for your HEALTH. It may not be REQUIRED for weight loss, but any plan that explicitly forbids exercise certainly isn't doing your health any good.

-Detoxing (soup & bath!!!)? You don't like soup? What's wrong with soup now?

Nothing is WRONG with soup. Or baths, for that matter. But, certainly neither are going to do anything special for your weight loss efforts.

-Magic Smoothie? Fruit is rather magical, isn't it? I guess that's why it's good for us.

See above re: soups and baths.

Listen. We get that you were just looking for recipes. And, perhaps "we" could have been a little more gentle. But, plans like these aren't going to help you any more than a straight up calorie deficit will help you. And, sometimes, they might even harm you. People post about these "cleanses" and "jumpstarts" every single day, and more experienced MFP-ers are just trying to talk you out of something that, at best, makes you miserable for 2 weeks with no real benefit, and, at worst, actually makes you sick.

Good luck, though.

i ve lost ten lbs. only day 10 I cant complain
