Americans are primarily the victims of obesity and they constantly worry about losing their weight. For this reason, several weight loss programs have come up to lift the Americans both physically and emotionally. One such program has been put up Dr. Oz (powered by share care). This website’s interest includes helping over-weight people lose some of their unhealthy fat by following simple yet healthy tips. “Willpower is everything”, says Dr. Oz. If you are not emotionally strong, you will not be able to achieve the desired results. This weight loss program is for a span of two weeks. It is said to be successful because it focuses on:
Bringing down your appetite
Developing your metabolic health
Since the diet chart consists of fruits and vegetable which are essentially low glycemic foods, the weight loss program believes that it will help restrain the person’s appetite. The website also believes in bringing down the starch and sugar intake for the benefit of its viewers. This is so because it is believed that by reducing the amount of sugar intake, one can subsequently reduce the fat storing capacity of the body. Dr. Oz’s weight loss program gives a detailed instruction on what to eat and what to eliminate. This program instructs us to start the day with one cup hot water and lemon. This will help to purify your stomach in the morning. The breakfast consists of a smoothie and organic tea. Further, Dr. OZ advises us to have 6 oz serving of meat per day (p1
Dr. Oz’s eight loss program). This is followed by olive oil and greek yogurt per day. The doctor suggests that we have nuts and pickles for snacks. This is essentially the diet that the weight loss program recommends us to have. The list containing what to eliminate is certainly longer the previous list. The doctor also says that we might experience something called the “low carb flu”.

This is so because all this time we’ve been busy burning our carbohydrates that when e suddenly stop it, we feel weird about it.
Foods containing wheat, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, alcohol and sugar need to be avoided. Further, one following this program is advised not to take meals. Apart from the normal diet, Dr. Oz also advises us to take probiotics and multivitamins in the morning. This will help to rejuvenate our body by providing adequate minerals. As mentioned earlier, Dr. Oz recommends us to have lo glycemic vegetables. The website gives a list of these vegetables. This includes beans, broccoli, peas, pepper, radish, asparagus, etc. One may now ask, “why lo glycemic vegetables?” The answer is that these vegetables take some time before digestion and henceforth, the person will not feel hungry all the time. It is also rich in protein making it very healthy for us to eat. The plan instructions also come with a shopping list recommended by Dr. Oz. This will help us get the right products from our super markets. The shopping list is for a week. It is divided into two sub categories, fruits and detox vegetables for making the broth. Bananas, frozen yogurt, berries and lemons come under the category of fruits. The vegetables required for making the broth are onions, winter squash, cabbage, garlic, carrots and celery stalks. In addition to this, the list must also contain olive oil, green tea, baking soda and Epsom salt. Besides the diet, Dr. OZ recommends us to visit the gym twice or thrice a week. Weight lifting is considered to be the fastest means of losing that extra fat in the body. Other simple tips
include us to drink plenty of water. We must also have a breakfast that’s high in proteins and sleep better because it is believed that poor sleep causes excess fat storage in our body’s system. The question that comes after this is,” how fast will we lose our weight?” or “how many pounds

will we lose?” Previous studies show that by following Dr. Oz, an average person can lose up to ten pounds in a week! That’s pretty fast, right? The doctor also says that we might experience something called the “low carb flu”. This is so because all this time we’ve been busy burning our carbohydrates that when e suddenly stop it, we feel weird about it. One must also understand that this eight loss program doesn’t just remove excess fat but it also helps in improving your blood sugar levels and your blood pressure. This doesn’t just leave a physical effect but it also leaves a psychological effect on the person undertaking the program. Studies have proven that losing weight subsequently improves our self esteem. One other way by which this program helps is that it helps to get you of your depressive state. Since there exists a direct relation between how one feels about their looks and depression, weight loss helps in building their mental stamina as well. This is also known as body image. When one is constantly worried about how he/she looks, it invariably sends them to depression causing more fat storage in the body. Finally, there is a huge impact on the person’s social life. Usually, the person just isolates himself/herself due to their body image. But as one gains confidence after weight loss, he/she is said to be more social thereby creating strong bonds and relations which they wouldn’t have done if not for the weight loss. When people lost a significant amount of fat (12%), 5% of their social life improves, studies show us (p1, health eating harbor). To sum up, Dr. Oz’s weight loss program has helped hundreds of people! If not two veeks, people definitely began to see results by the end of three weeks. This program has also lifted the psychological mindset of many obsess Americans.

This is one program that anybody can take up with full faith and trust in Dr. Oz.
