Dr. B is an amazing quick fix but very restrictive. Yes, it's real food but VERY limited quantities and like most of the posts on here, I have yet to meet someone who has kept off the weight....myself included. It's kinda like all those diet add you see where it says in the tiny print "results not typical" well, keeping the weigt off of this diet is not typical. I ended up extremely sick and having to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. (A very real and common risk on these virtually no fat diets)I like most poeple know that htere is no real quick fix to weight loss. Taking it off isn't so hard as keeping it off is. Dr. B is very expensive. I have just started the Ideal Protein diet....simular to the Bernstein in that it is very restricted but you get lots of protein to prevent muscle loss, costs about half the cost with the same results and I get to have chocolate

I would recommend this over Bernstien anyday. Maybe discuss the options with your doctor and take a good look at both programs before making a decision. I completely understand the desire for instant results. I'm back to needing to lose about 90lbs so I really do get it. All the best to you
