Five months ago, a meat-loving cowboy named Rocco Wachman appeared on the Dr. Oz Show and ditched his high-fat diet in favor of a 28-day vegan detox. Since then, Rocco -- now known as "The Vegan Cowboy" -- has lost nearly 50 pounds, and credits Dr. Oz with changing his life. Now he's returning the favor and trying to make other people's lives healthier. On today's episode, Rocco travels to Riverside, Calif. and challenges an unsuspecting neighborhood to a 60-day road to wellness.
"Rocco's been one of our biggest success stories, so it's great to have him come back and share his experience," Dr. Oz told That's Fit. "When you're trying to lose weight, there are few things as important as the support of those around you. Our Riverside neighbors will be able to lean on each other, help each other, and learn from each other, as well as Rocco. They will also be able to hold each other accountable. And with that accountability, it's harder to fail." For show times, check your local listings.
