Dr. Bernstein Diet...anyone tried it?

hi all...
i'm thinking of looking into this particular diet clinic. i originally was going to go for weight loss surgery, but now i've opted not to do it because of risks, you hear too many horror stories! and i have 3 children that depend on me, it'd be a lot for my husband god forbid i got sick...so i wanted to get WLS because i've always thought to myself, i wished i could be sick every time i ate something bad for me....one of the surgeries actually does that if you eat too much sugar. i know it sounds silly but i feel like that's what i need in order to lose the weight, i need that huge push.

Dr. Bernstein clinic is like medically supervised weight loss....however i've heared it's expensive. you can eat the foods from the grocery store but need to make the right choices. it's too easy to go to the store and buy CRAP! they meet with you 3 times a week and apparently i can lose 130lbs in 30 weeks! which is what i need to lose....i feel kind of helpless at this point.
can anyone tell me if they've tried the bernstein diet...and did it help you and how much you paid for it approx.??? i'd really appreciate it, thank you!!!!!

I haven't even heard of this diet!! Just remember the first 3 letters of diet is DIE!
I too was looking at having the lap band done..but i have 2 kids and a husband and a family and i cant take that risk!! My family needs me and I need to be here for my kids..i dont want to miss a day with them! So i am right with ya!!! We can do this together..I was doing a nutritional cleansing..Isagenix..you should look it up I sent you a link below..I am going to be starting back on this here real soon!! I felt so great when i done it before and I should of never stopped! But look at the link and maybe you'd like to try this also. We have a team so anytime you need someone we can be there for you everyday!! anytime of the day!!

But i am really glad that you and i both turned against it..we can do this!!

hey! thanks for writing back!! no i couldn't imagine having something go wrong and not being here for my kids and husband. it'd alreayd be a big thing for them to deal with let alone me getting sick! i'll check out your link, i think you gave it to me on another post as well....the Bernstein diet is only available in canada i think? not to sure..they've spread out quite a bit over the past few years....there's just so much product out there to help lose weight and i'm not sure what to do. some people don't understand how hard it is....and i also don't wanna be on the toilet 24/7 lol!!! i'll find a way, thnak you so much for the support, i gt it at home but it's nice to hear about others and their journeys as well...talk soon i hope...

Well that is what this board is for!!! I am glad that you also have the support at home..Post everything that you eat daily on here like I did yesterday that I need to do again today..but i snacked to much today..kinda ashamed to even post it..but knowning you have to post what you eat thru the day may help too!!! We just have to think of our health and our families and do what is best..we are killing ourselves!!!

Sorry I've never heard of this.
Many of these Dr's plans involve substituting food with high protein shakes (like Medi-fast).

You are helpless!!!!!!!!  You can help yourself.
Just decide to make good chooses about the food you are going to eat.

Eat meals that have high protein and good high fiber carbs along with lots of veggies.  You cannot go wrong if you eat healthy.  I promise you!!

Also, maybe something like Nutrisystem or Jenny Craig would be a good jumping start for you.  Or how about Weigh****chers?  It works!  Only cost $10-12 a week but you learn how to make the changes you need to make.

PM me if you want to chat more about eating healthy.

PS- don't just focus on something that will let you loose all your weight in the shortest time.  Focus on getting and staying healthy for yourself and your family!

 Heard of it and have seen many people succeed!  Its pretty much a high protein low fat diet!  you have to do it for life though.  Once you stop eating the protein and eat more fatty foods it comes on 10 fold.
