Dr. Oz's One Day Diet Part 1: Lose 10 Pounds In A Month

Long before any of us had heard of the Mediterranean diet, Dr. Oz had already been reaping its benefits. The one-day diet is a diet that focuses on the Mediterranean diet and how there are easy rules that you can follow that will help you lose 10 pounds a month and stay slim forever.

Dr. Oz loves this diet plan because it can help you lower the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Oz says that the diet is satisfying and fun and makes you feel so full that you don’t want to eat anymore.

With this diet you can lose up to 2 inches and 10 pounds in just a month. The eating plan listed below as well as the simple diet rules should be followed as closely as you possibly can.


If you want a similar diet plan that is very specific and offers much more detail and support try The Lifetime Diet.  It’s made up of similar eating plans and includes exercise plans, motivational MP3s, bonus books, and more. It’s perfect for those people looking for something similar to what Dr. Oz recommends here and it’s much more comprehensive.

First let’s start with the rules you’ll need to follow this diet.

Rule number one: you need to renew your vows daily

Begin each morning anew, and make the re-commitment of sticking to the diet plan one day at a time, day after day. This will help you keep the energy and motivation that people usually bring to new projects.

The second you get out of bed, say to yourself, I’m going to follow this plan for the next 24 hours. Once you say that you also want to remind yourself of the reasons why you want to lose weight. Always keep the reasons why you’re doing this in the back of your mind so you can pull them up at a moments notice and go over them in moments of weakness.

Rule number two: every day do something different

Try and do something a little different on a daily basis to help shake up the patterns that you normally are into. This helps you become more mindful about how and when you eat, how you act and how you think when you’re under stress, and what you could be doing instead. One great example of this is that if you start to feel a little stressed and hungry and you want to eat try doing something completely different than what you normally do. This will help you focus more on what you’re doing and less on being stressed and “hungry.”

In other words if you find that you want to snack out of stress or boredom, do something that you usually don’t do to distract your mind from food!

Rule number three: set up your kitchen for success

You want your kitchen to be full of only beneficial options. But don’t worry because with the Mediterranean diet you’ll have tons of great options. With the Mediterranean diet you get lots of  healthy fats such as olive oil, avacados, sunflower seeds, nuts, and other foods that are very satisfying even when you only eat a small quantity. The reason why these are so satisfying and so filling is because they contain beneficial fats which make you feel fuller longer (and they taste fantastic).

With this diet you’ll have lean meat or fish every day but the majority of the foods you will be eating are vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. What’s great about eating foods like this is that they’re loaded with fiber which slows down your digestion and will prevent you from being hungry without adding a lot of calories. And when you think of whole grains, don’t just think of bread. Dr. Oz says with the Mediterranean diet you want to try other grains such as quinoa.
