Dr Oz: Green Smoothies & Detox Soup For Easy Natural Weight Loss

Dr Oz: Green Smoothies For Natural Weight Loss

After exploring the dangers of waist training, Dr Oz introduced Cynthia, who found a way to go from flabby to fabulous, without the use of a waist trainer. She acknowledged that everyone has their personal preference, but she got fit the old-fashioned way. She began exercising and changed her eating habits, and was thrilled when the weight seemed to fall off. She was able to lose eight inches around her waist and went from 28% body fat to 18% with a total of 30 pounds lost! Now onto the interesting bit – her Green Detox Soup and Green Smoothie Recipes…

Cynthia, more than anything, loves her smoothies. She’ll grab spinach and cucumber, and blend them with lemon juice, strawberries, blueberries, water, and chia seeds. A smoothie is not only convenient but full of fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients. Dr Oz joked that all her energy must be coming from the smoothie! Dr Oz actually included a daily smoothie in his 28 Day Shrink!

Dr Oz: Green Detox Soup For Weight Loss

Next, Dr Oz revealed the latest detox diet claiming to be the key to helping you shed weight fast while flushing toxins. It’s known as the Green Detox Soup, but does it really work? Reportedly, women will drink the green soup and only the soup three times a day, for three months. One woman lost 20 pounds, but gained it all back and then some pretty quickly afterward.

Registered dietitian Ashley Koff pointed out that this diet calls for you to eat just 300 calories per day, which means your body isn’t getting the nutrients you need. The truth is that while the ingredients are great, the soup is just missing some protein! That’s exactly why Dr Oz was inspired to his own, healthier version of a Green Detox Soup. Dr Oz and Ashley first suggested you eat four bowls per day, instead of three.

The one ingredient you absolutely have to have is broccoli! One ingredient many detox soups are missing is healthy fat, which is why Ashley added coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil to her version. She also added protein and color to her soup. You can make your own version of the delicious and healthy soup! Just click next page to get the general recipe.
