It’s called The Power protein plan , and it’s the new protein diet created by the Dr. Oz show team of nutritionists .
The doctor and TV presenter in fact talked about how and how many proteins to eat in order to lose weight, with a diet low in foods that contain carbohydrates.

Dr. Oz’s new protein diet, however, is neither a high-protein diet nor, as we shall see, a totally carbohydrate-free diet. In this way it does not create nutritional problems.
But it’s a diet designed to help you lose more weight with some lean protein foods.

In fact, Dr. Oz showed the cases of three women who lost weight by increasing the consumption of proteins and decreasing the consumption of carbohydrates: even twenty or thirty kilos lost weight thanks to the new protein diet.
In fact, proteins are an essential factor for weight loss. Provided, of course, not to overdo it.
In fact, this diet exploits not only certain types of protein foods, but also their concentration at certain key moments of the day. This way you lose 3 to 3.5 kilos for the first two weeks, and six kilos per month in total.

Now let’s see what Dr. Oz’s new protein diet consists of, who it is suitable for and what are the possible contraindications. Obviously, before starting a new diet, you must first talk about it with your doctor.

Dr. Oz’s New Protein Diet: Rules

It is a meal plan in which all sources of sugar must be cut off. No to table sugar and sweets in all forms. No even to refined flours. You can only eat the carbohydrates on the menu.

Breakfast must be balanced and with a good amount of protein. With this trick we reduce the calorie content of lunch by 26%. How to supplement protein at breakfast? For example, making pancakes with soy flour and eggs, to which you can then add small pieces of fruit. Or, lean ricotta and low-fat yogurt with fruit, a soft-boiled egg, a slice of toasted wholemeal bread. We will see it in the menu.

The ideal would be to have at least 25/30 grams of protein at breakfast to promote weight loss throughout the day. For lunch and dinner we have white meats and fish with vegetables, to which we can add sprouts, chickpeas or beans, dried fruit and oil seeds + a portion of foods that contain reduced carbohydrates.

Snacks and snacks, on the other hand, are based on seasonal fruit, as long as they are not too sweet. Therefore bananas, persimmons, grapes are excluded.

The diet is designed for a sedentary woman. However, little physical activity is essential to boost metabolism and burn calories from carbohydrate-containing foods.
For example, in the morning you can do this one-minute mini-workout to boost your metabolism. 
In the afternoon or late morning , Dr. Oz’s 7-minute workout. Alternatively this.
