I went through my DVR recordings and decided to watch the latest Dr. Oz episodes I recorded. One of the JanYOUary segments combined all the advice from Wheat Belly Diet (I own this book and the accompanying Wheat Belly Cookbook) and other sources, forming a diet plan that helped the show’s audience lose an average of 9 lbs per person in two weeks.
Watch the segment of the episode here:

For breakfast, make a smoothie. Use almond milk (unsweetened, vanilla flavor), 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1/2 banana, 2 tbsp rice protein powder, 2 tbsp flaxseed powder. Alternatively, you can make a green smoothie with green veggies, green apple, banana, and lemon (see my previous blog post on the Glowing Green Smoothie by Kimberly Snyder).

For the rest of the day, eat the following: greek yogurt (you can make a dip for your veggies with it), 6 oz protein (chicken, turkey, fish), 1/2 cup brown rice, organic green tea, olive oil, avocado. Snack on nuts, hummus, or pickles. Fill up on unlimited low glycemic index vegetables (see list below). Make vegetable soups. Use homemade vegetable broth or buy low sodium kind from the grocery store..
Take a probiotic each morning to speed up weight loss.
