It’s called 21-Day Breakthrough Diet and it’s Dr. Oz’s new 21-day diet plan, which he also talked about in his book, published in Italian, Eating is the cure . There is the detailed plan with the recipes there, but in this article we see what it is all about so you can see the first improvements in weight and health. The 21-day diet of Dr. Oz or the flexi diet allows us in just three weeks to: – lose weight quickly. – learn about the main sources of animal and vegetable proteins and balance them. – make a transition diet towards a vegan regime or learn a flexitarian diet.

There is only one scheme, and must be followed for twenty-one days in a row.
It is a regimen of about 1250 calories, at the end of which I recommend you to introduce a greater quantity of carbohydrates. I will write about it later in detail.
Another tip is to eat a lot of vegetables , taking advantage of the free quantity and you have two teaspoons of oil per meal to season them. These are the rules for the slimming plan: then we will see the maintenance one , on 1700-1800 calories.
