What is a Vegan? What does Doctor Oz have to say about the Vegan Diet? Is Vegetarian Chili any good? The American Diet is full of fat and calories, and everyone is looking for a miracle diet plan. More and more, health conscious people are changing their diets, not only to get rid of excess weight, but to feel better too.

Doctor Oz, a trusted contributor on the Oprah Show, talks about The Doctor Oz Diet on his website, Dr Oz Show. "Cutting 100 calories a day—the equivalent of a Granny Smith apple—is a dieting strategy that most people can sustain for a lifetime," he says. In the book YOU: On a Diet, Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen explain why the body stores blubber and how cutting just 100 calories a day can help you lose a pound per month!
