Dr. Oz began the year with his blockbuster 2-Week Rapid Weight Loss Plan that helped viewers lose weight, now he’s back with the next step: A plan to help you slim down before summer! Whether you’ve kept the weight off or are looking to reboot, Dr. Oz’s May Diet could help you shed 10 pounds this month.
Step #1: The 80/20 Rule
Start the May diet by eliminating excess water weight. When you’re eating a diet full of carbohydrates, your body can retain pounds of excess water; for every pound of carbs you store, your body can hold up to four pounds of water. Filling your plate with 80% low glycemic vegetables and 20% protein and fats can help you shed this unwanted water weight. Here are some examples of 80/20 meals:
Three cups of broccoli, red peppers and a slice of avocado with three ounces of grilled chicken
A giant salad with steak
Shrimp and veggie stir-fry
