Dr. Oz says having one cheat day a week will help keep you on the right course. It says you should diet for six days but splurge on the seventh.
“We kept asking people what they don’t like about diets and they said feeling constrained and when you feel constrained it doesn’t work and then you fail on your diet,” he said.
Dr. Oz says it doesn't just come down to how much you eat, it’s what you eat.

“It's going to be so easy and you are going to start feeling so good you are going to say ‘Why didn't I start this sooner?’” he said.
