Several years ago I wanted to lose 15 pounds. I joined Dr. Bernstein Clinic here in Vancouver, BC. I might add it was not a cheap adventure by any means. I spent a few hundred dollars and then stayed on completing a maintenance plan.
Dr. B diet had me shopping for brand names and food wise calories. Not only did I shop what was encompassed in this diet and list but had to write everything I put into my mouth daily including water consumption.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday I came in to get weighed and interviewed as to my food digestion I consumed. I was given a shot and that went into my tummy to burn fat. As well, I was taking vitamins to supplement my low calorie intake.
I was told no exercise because the diet was tiring to the body. I must say within a few weeks I dropped my ideal pounds and more. I did the maintenance and 2 years later went back to do same. I am happy to report I kept my weight off with smart eating choices and my exercise is lots of walking. I have the occasional cheat days.
Dr. B does work but you also have to commit to its regiment and expensive price.
