Meet your dream weight loss team: "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" trainer Chris Powell and diet guru Dr. Mehmet Oz. Together, the two are unveiling what Dr. Oz calls a "miracle new meal plan" designed to help you shed 20 pounds in less than 13 weeks. Get the skinny on how to make it work for you here.
How it works: Celebrity weight loss guru Chris, who authored "Choose to Lose: The 7-Day Carb Cycle Solution," has created a diet that lets you pick and choose from three columns (see the photo for details): Fat-fighting proteins, hunger-curbing high-fiber foods and metabolism boosters. Choose one of each and create your miracle meal. Here's a sample day of miracle meals:
- Breakfast: One low-carb tortilla, heated and spread with low-fat white cheese (pop under broiler until it melts or in microwave). Sprinkle with cinnamon and ginger.
- Lunch: A salad made of veggies that include tomatoes and peppers. Top with salsa rather than salad dressing and mix in one can or pouch of drained, water-packed salmon. With it: Brown rice sprinkled with garlic.
- Dinner: Make a stir-fry with tofu, lots of herbs including garlic and a dash of ginger, black beans, peppers, assorted veggies and a dash of Tabasco. Serve over buckwheat pasta.
