Dr Oz: 28 Day High School Reunion Diet Plan
Like many, Justine, Tamika, and Chane had all gained at least 25-50 lbs since graduating high school. Since gaining weight, each of the women had lost their confidence but, more importantly, they had been putting their health in jeopardy. Dr Oz spoke with each woman to find out her biggest issues regarding her weight gain.
Justine: Justine was the class clown and in excellent shape. She was never super thin but she felt good. After she had kids, she gained 40-50 lbs. She went on several diets in the past and lost weight but gained it all back again. She feels as though her younger self would ask, “What happened to you?”
Tamika: Tamika was the jock. She was small and wore a size 4. Now she wears 14. After high school, she joined a police department. In 2003, she was injured in the line of duty. Since then, Tamika went from a vibrant individual to someone that was confined to her home.
Chane: Chane was considered the nerd. She weighed 130lbs in high school and now hovers around the 300 lb. mark. Chane felt like she let herself down. She lost the weight, but after children, she had gained it all back. She’s not a big eater, but just can’t seem to get the nutrition right, plus, she sits at work all day. She has not been on the scale in years and is even embarrassed to get onto the elevator with anyone because she’s always sweating and out of breath.
All three ladies are planning on attending their 25th High School Reunion and they want to WOW! their old classmates.
Dr Oz believed that they’re all still eating like teenagers with only minor modifications. As we age, we need to be smarter with the food we eat because our metabolisms have changed so much and we keep the same eating habits.
Dr Oz: Truth Tube Results
Dr Oz headed over to the truth tube for the results for each woman. He then looked into each woman’s food diary.
Tamika:
Weight Then: 105 lbs; Weight Now: 184 lbs 
Waist Then: 27 inches; Waist Now: 35 inches
