1. She Eats A Balanced Diet
Oz opened up about her diet in an interview with Prevention. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet. “I am an eater first and foremost. It is where I derive so much pleasure and joy and fun in my day,” Oz said. “I eat with a great deal of balance as somebody who genuinely just loves food too much to ever feel restricted about it.” Oz also says that this is a better approach to eating. “The way I saw it, being healthy had to feel like punishment, or being healthy means having to give up things that you loved—and that’s not the case.”
2. She Eats A Mostly Plant-Based Diet
Oz tells Prevention that she eats a mostly plant-based diet. She says that this started from her childhood. “My mom’s a vegetarian, so I grew up with vegetables being celebrated in a way that they are now in the mainstream, but they weren’t always…My mom always made vegetables the star, and meat and fish were the side portions as opposed to the main event, which tends to be the way that I continue to eat now.”
3. She Uses Weight Watchers
Oz uses the Weight Watchers program to help her eat healthy. “The WW program is so personalized and flexible,” she told Prevention. “It genuinely wants you to feel like you’re in the driver’s seat. You’re in control of what goes into your body. You can eat everything you want. Nothing is off the menu. Even just that sense of liberation, that freedom, is so critical to a good mindset and to feel empowered as opposed to having health be another job.”
4. She Cooks Healthy Meals
Oz is an avid chef, and likes to cook a lot of healthy meals. She tells Prevention that she will make multiple meals at once, so she can have other options for dinner later in the week. “When I turn the oven on for anything that takes a long time to cook— roasting a chicken, roasting veggies, making lasagna— I make two,” she said. “So, I have one that’s fresh that night for dinner or for lunch, and then I freeze the other batch or put it in the refrigerator and I have ready-made meals that taste much more time-intensive than they end up being.”
5. She Runs
Oz opened up about her favorite exercises in a post on her website. She says that she loves to run to stay in shape. “My family and I made the move to Florida a few years ago, and I’ve been taking advantage of the weather and running outside,” she says. “I find running to be the most efficient fat-burning exercise, and in 40 minutes door to door, I can put my workout behind me and get on with my day. But I have to do it first thing or I’ll never get to it, so I set my alarm 50 minutes early, have my running clothes already next to my bed, and just will my body into motion before the part of me that would just like to hit snooze has time to wake up.”
