It's been over 3 weeks now and i hate it!! The injections are killing me and i keep forgetting to take my mid day potassium pills. Mostly i can't seem to stick to it. About 750 calories a day, no fat, no sodim, no dairy, no suger.
I keep cheating and i am only down 8 lbs in total. Apparantly they tell me i should be losing more. 2 more weeks of this and i think i will revert back to weight watchers. It takes longer to lose the weight but at least i can have some pleasurable food and a couple glassess of wine here and there
.
I lost 45 pounds on WW about 4 years ago but gained it back, so i know i can do it over a 10 month time frame. The Dr. Bernstein diet is good if you can stick with it and it costs about 175.00 per week but if you stick to the plan you can loss a pound a day and they gaurantee it. You can't fool them either as you have to visit 3 x a week for weight in and injections, also take a urine sample. If you don't have suger in your urine then that means you are eating more than aloud or other foods that are not aloud because if you have suger in your urine then it means you are burning your own fat as you are taking in very little calories and no fat or other suger or sodium so you start to burn the fat you have on your body witch comes out in your urine. If you eat a burger, nachos and eggs then your body utilizes and stores the fat on your body so no suger will be eliminated through your urine. The only way to lose weight is to reduce your intake so that you burn your own fat. The doctor siad that if you were 50 lbs over wiehgt you could live off your own fat for 6 months while taking vitimins and supplements. Yikes !!!
