I'm not from Michigan, and I know I'm new, but I have done this, as was instructed by my doctor. At least I think I've done what you aretalking about. It was a clinic run by dr's, in a hospital. It was disapointing at best. Of course, this situation will change depending on where you go. Not everyone will act like my dietician/councelor did.
My dr in the clinic was condesending and would talk down to me. I mean, I know I'm young but I'm not stupid. The first meeting was...decent, but every meeting after that she just checked my food log, checked my weight, and said I could go. I'd ask her a question and she'd kind of give me the run around and tell me to do what I thought was best. If I were doing that, I wouldn't have had the question in the first place. After a few visits I just stopped going. I didn't actually lose any weight under her direction either. Matter of fact, I gained weight because I had little idea what I was doing and she wouldn't help me. Oh top of that, my insurance didn't pay for it as I was told they would, so it wasn't cheap. Maybe others have had better luck and I just got a bum dr.
