Dr. Bernstein Update

My daughter has lost 18 pounds this month with Dr. Stanley (Extreme)
Bernstein and has historically only lost succeesfully on this expensive
VLCD plan, but never learns to keep it off. i hope this time she
adheres to maintenance as berbstein does have a mainetnance plan.

Sll my nutrition and health eductaion tells me it's wrong, but therer
are days when i would do it if not allergic to injections. After all,
I'd be where i want to in less than two weeks, (followed by the
hospital?)

good lord diva!
you can't mean it..........................shots? VLCD?

the day?

Hmm, this is the place for diet concerns. that's where I keep my diet
issues and when I get down to where I am comfortable I get OT right
here if you recall. Doing better today, did exercise, no snacking and
proper meals. I have my 'out of body" experiences on other groups,
Rosie.

Does she have some introspection and does she try to think rationally?
Why can't she keep not eating and continue exercising?

No introspection, didn't suceed on her own, is not consistent. I
atopped discussing this with her as it became an issue.

I have about 49 pounds to lose now. As a women in her late forties and otherwise healthy I think its my time to lose that stubborn weight. I've noticed some surgical approaches and the non surgical drb diet on bariatricsweightloss.com but am confused as to which medical doctor I should follow! Has anyone had any success on either of these programs?

My daughter didn't follow through with Dr. B. and once again regained
more. He is costly and his program is too low cal. It was her third
try.

For those in the US, this is the Dr. Bernstein she is referring to -
he's Canadian and runs a chain of diet clinics that feature very low
calorie programs, close supervision and B12/B6 shots. Costs are about
$120 a week or so, so it is pricey, but he claims that clients who do
the maintenance have a 75% success rate for keeping off the weight.

http://drbdiet.com/as/menu/mb:Home

The thing is, anyone losing weight any how any way has to come up with
a plan for maintaining their loss that is sustainable whether its of
their own devising or something associated with their original plan -
and Dr. Bernstein DOES have a maintenance and "tune up" program to help
people stay at their goal weights, which you say your daughter didn't
elect to try.

No matter how any of us loses the weight in the first place, if you go
back to the same old same old, you regain it. Name me a diet or
exercise plan that isn't true of - so I don't think you can blame the
originator of any particular diet for that failure. Even ones that
claim to help people lose weight gradually and learn healthier long
term habits have absolutely abysmal failure rates, based on how many
people bail before they lose the weight and how many regain what they
have lost. None of the plans will save us from ourselves. Living life
on the wagon post weight loss is the harder part of the whole ordeal
for most of us.

Mary, Dr. Stanley Bernstein does have a maintenance plan but I still
think his diet will usually have a bad aftermath becasue of the extreme
deprivation.
