Dr. Oz: What Should You Eat on the Total 10 Rapid Weight Loss Plan?

Dr. Oz: Total 10 Rapid Weight Loss Plan

Dr. Oz has been talking about his Total 10 Rapid Weight Loss Plan. Next, it was time to talk about the Total 10 meals. He spoke to Kim, who lost 18.6 pounds in the first two weeks. She said the plan clicked in for her on day 4, when she’d already lost 9 pounds.

Dr. Oz: What Do You Eat on the Total 10 Plan?

For this plan, it’s critical to eat 12 ounces of protein throughout the day, in addition to the protein powder in your morning smoothie. You can get it in poultry, eggs, and fish. You also need to eat unlimited non-starchy veggies and quinoa. ½ Cup of quinoa per day is the only carb allowed on this plan. The reason Dr. Oz allows the quinoa is because it’s a great mix of protein and carb. If you want to “super charge” your weight loss, you can omit the quinoa.

Dr. Oz: Nut Butter Total 10 Snack

Kim said that for snacks, she had some of the Total 10 Broth. She also ate romaine lettuce chips and eat them like potato chips. She also ate an apple a day, which she always looked forward to.

Dr. Oz also recommends nuts and nut butters for the plan. Dr. Oz limits nut butters to two tablespoons a day and nuts to one serving, or about 1 ounce. Nuts and nut butters can actually help you lose weight in moderation. Dr. Oz recommends almonds, almond butter, pistachios, and walnuts. However, peanut butter isn’t allowed. Peanut butter is too hard for people to control, Dr. Oz has found.

Dr. Oz: Total 10 Dairy Allowance

You can also have 1 cup of 2 percent plain yogurt per day. It’s the only dairy on this plan because it has probiotics, which helps get rid of the bad bacteria in your gut. Other types of yogurt, however, might have sugars, so stick to plain 2 percent yogurt.

Dr. Oz welcomed police officer Joy, who lost 10.2 pounds on this diet. She said she liked to make her own homemade tzatziki sauce with the yogurt, dill, cucumber, garlic, and lemon. She put it on her salmon and chicken, which made her feel like she was indulging.

Dr. Oz: Limiting Caffeine

Next, Dr. Oz suggests limiting caffeine. He wanted to eliminate caffeine totally, but many people fell off the plan because they couldn’t handle the headaches and withdrawal symptoms from coming off the caffeine.

So Dr. Oz is allowing one cup of plain coffee a day. If you want to sweeten it, you have to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk or coconut milk as a sweetener. At the end of two weeks, this will taste really sweet.

Dr. Oz welcomed nurse Melissa to his show, who was a coffee addict and lost six pounds on this diet. She said she would have five cups a day before this diet. On this plan, she had a headache the first few days, but after that, it was much easier. She said it didn’t affect her hunger at all either, because she had plenty to eat on this diet.
