She Refuses To Deprive Herself
"I don't believe in deprivation, and I don't believe taking good care of ourselves has to be hard," Oz says on her website. "I want my clean eating to be as enjoyable and obvious as my regular eating, because that's the only way I'm going to stick with it. I realized that the key to achieving this is a very few, very simple rules that actually allow me to relax and make clean eating second nature."
No Gluten Or Sugar During the Week
"Five days a week, I give up gluten. I give up refined sugar. I give up most dairy," Oz says. "And I get back food confidence. I get back easy, intuitive eating. I get back a healthy, happy me. I absolutely freaking love my two days off to eat what I want with gusto! And then I get back on board with no guilt attached. I stick with this rhythm for as long or as short as I like—sometimes a month or two (or more!) to get back on track, sometimes just a week at a time if that's all I need."
She Loves To Cook Shrimp
"I love to serve a pile of shrimp on its own or tossed together with spaghetti for a simple but celebratory meal, perfect to savor our fleeting final days of summer!" Oz says. "[Shrimp] are a useful source of the B group of vitamins, including B12 and folate," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "These vitamins play an important role in energy production and replenishing red blood cells. [Shrimp] provide about 22 times the vitamin E levels of either chicken or beef. This fat-soluble vitamin acts as an antioxidant and may be protective against heart disease and cancer."
She Loves Her Vegetables
"Being the overweight kid in a family full of health nuts, I needed to rejigger my relationship to the love I felt for food, the connection I felt to food, and the joy I felt for food while also taking good care of my body and positioning myself to feel as confident as I could in my skin," Oz says.
"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."
She Makes Enough For Leftovers
Oz has a trick for always having enough food ready to go—she simply doubles the recipe. "Roasting a chicken or veg, baking lasagna, whatever it might be. I do two at a time, and that way, I have roast chicken to eat today. And I also take it off the bone and have roast chicken shredded up to have throughout the week," she says. "The more nutrient-rich portions of chicken tend to be in the dark meat. Thighs and legs contain a little more iron and zinc," says clinical and sports dietician Rick Miller.
