However, with some tips and simple tactics from a celebrity doctor, you can achieve rapid, easy and healthy weight loss in 2014 and lose 9 pounds for two weeks.
Popular American Dr. Oz kicked off his first TV show for the new year with a bombastic recipe for healthy and fast diet. He revealed his 2-week weight loss diet, which again caused an absolute sensation among health experts and diet enthusiasts. Below, you will see the easy, rapid 2-week diet that includes the five foods we should eat or avoid, as well as some of the most essential rules of weight gain and loss.
Foods to Avoid
- Wheat – According to Dr. Oz, a woman managed to drop 16 pounds simply by eliminating wheat from her diet.
- Artificial sweeteners – They boost weight gain while at the same time they slow down and basically ruin your metabolism. Recent scientific studies have found that people who consume artificial sweeteners have a 70% increase in waist circumference in comparison to those who avoid them.
- Alcohol and sugar – Alcohol is a source of empty liquid calories; it also increases the appetite and causes bloating. Sugar increases the appetite, too, and damages the metabolism.
- Coffee – Black coffee is great for your body, as it is rich in antioxidants. But it is also a strong stimulant, which causes food cravings and with added sugar and cream, it becomes even worse.
- Dairy foods – According to the doctor, dairy causes inflammation, which is a huge factor in developing heart disease, diabetes, weight gain and many other conditions.
Foods to Eat
- Hot water – Instead of a cup of coffee, drink a cup of hot water with the juice of half a lemon. This is nothing new, but besides acting like a natural diuretic, this will kick-start your metabolism and prepare your body for the day.
- High-protein smoothie for breakfast – It should contain a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk; ½ banana; ½ cup frozen berries; 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds; and 2 tablespoons rice protein powder.
- Meals – During the day, you should consume healthy fats (olive oil, avocado), fiber-rich brown rice, Greek yogurt, and six-ounce portions of chicken, turkey or fish. In addition, you should replace coffee with organic green tea.
- Unlimited qualities of foods – Yes, there are several low-glycemic vegetables, which you can eat all day – broccoli, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, cabbages, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, squash, snap peas, and peppers.
- Probiotics – Take a probiotic every morning to help your digestion and boost your weight loss.
- According to the TV physician, you should be able to drop about nine pounds if you stick to this diet plan for two weeks.
Of course, it also depends on your current weight and body fat, but it will certainly have a great effect without too much restriction. Isn’t that a great way to enter the new year?
