Dr. Oz unveils detox diet to revitalize metabolism: Lose 10 pounds in 10 days
Can you give your metabolism a makeover that boosts fat-burning and weight loss? Yes, says Dr Mehmet Oz. On his Feb. 24 talk show, Dr. Oz unveiled a new detox diet that helps you shed up to 10 pounds and prevent disease in just 10 days.
Dr. Oz explained that his detox diet is based on the research and weight loss program designed by his guest expert, Dr. Mark Hyman, author of “The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet: Activate Your Body’s Natural Ability to Burn Fat and Lose Weight Fast” (click for details).
Dr. Hyman says that benefits of the 10-day detox plan include:
- Lose up to 10 pounds
- Reverse chronic health problems such as joint point and type 2 diabetes
- Alleviate brain fog and allergies
- Prevent conditions such as acne and headaches
- Help autoimmune disease
However, he told Dr. Oz that to succeed with both weight loss and prevention of disease, you will need to eliminate the following foods from your meals and snacks during the 10-day period:
- Processed foods unless it is a canned whole food such as sardines or artichokes with only a few real ingredients such as water or salt
- Any food or drink that contains added sugar (including honey, molasses, agave, maple syrup, organic cane juice or artificial sweeteners), especially any sugar-sweetened beverages or fruit juices
- Anything that contains hydrogenated oils and refined vegetable oils (like corn or soybean oil)
- Any foods with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, additives, coloring, or dyes
- Anything sugar or flour based (cookies, cakes, candies, etc.)
- Grains (rice, oats, quinoa) and all foods made from flours (crackers, pasta, bread, pretzels, etc.)
- Starches (sweet potato, potato, squash, parsnip, beets, etc.)
- Beans and legumes (chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, kidney beans, etc.)
- Dairy (yogurt, sour cream, cheese, milk, etc.)
- Coffee and anything caffeinated (tea, soft drinks, lattes, etc.)
- Alcohol (wine, beer, spirits, etc.)
