I have SAFELY lost 11 pounds in 13 days - The Dr. Bernstein diet works!From: Kelly (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 9 Jul 2003 21:24:31 -0500 (CDT)
Hello - I have been reading your stories and I can really relate. I'm 25 years old and I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 yrs. old. My periods completely stopped when I was about 19. I am 5"4 1/2 and up until two weeks ago, I was at my heaviest weight of 229 lbs. I'm so happy to say that in a total of 13 days I have lost 11 pounds. I am now at 218 lbs. and the great thing is that I don't feel hungry! I don't have cravings and I'm full of energy. I feel - for the first time in my life - like I'm on the road to being healthy. I am on the Dr. Bernstein Diet. For those of you in Ontario, Canada, I'm sure you have heard of this program before. My caloric intake is way down - somewhere around 1000 calories. Basically, the program puts me in a state of ketosis, but I am supplemented with a vitamin B-complex injection 3 times a week and oral vitamin/mineral supplements every day. This is NOT something that I would suggest without medical supervision. I feel confident on the Bernstein program because it is 100% medically supervised - I see a Registered Nurse 3 times a week and a doctor once every two weeks. My ketone levels are checked through my urine at the Bernstein clinic. All blood work and related lab tests are ordered right on site (and in the case of blood work, blood is taken on site). This, again, just makes me feel more confident. Once I get to my goal weight of 130 lbs (which will most likely be sometime in December - I can expect to lose 16-20 lbs a month!), I move into Dr. Bernstein's Maintenance plan. This program slowly introduces the range of food that I was used to eating back into my system. I am monitored constantly as I take the new foods in to make sure that my blood sugar levels do not spike (i.e. that I do not regain the weight). After several months on this, they cut me loose and I take over on my own - with my new eating habits and smaller appetite. The best - THE BEST - part of this program is that I do not have to be a slave to exercise for this to work. I am a pretty sedentary person and I have still lost weight. Of course, exercise is good for cardio and to tighten up the loose skin that I might get when I lose the weight, but you will see results without exercise. I know I'm rambling, but one more thing. He Guarantees that you will lose 10 pounds each and every week while on the program, otherwise the staff will work with you free to lose those 10 pounds. That says a lot. Of course, this comes with a price. I am getting the student rate of $350.00 Canadian Funds for one month of treatment. Regular rate is $450.00. But ladies, this is your health - you can't put a price on that. I'm seeing definite results on the Dr. Bernstein Diet, so I felt it was my responsiblity as a "Cyster" to share the knowledge.
