Do you know this diet or is anyone here following this diet? I am planning to start on this diet next week and wanted your thoughts on it as I have stalled my weight loss after losing 62lbs. Seems like it's a well rounded good diet to me. thanx.

Is it the same as "Medical Weight Loss"? I went on it a few years back. Seems to be controlled calorie (worked out to be between 1100-1200), low carb and low fat...but not "OMG I'm dying here" *low*. It was ok.

I was on it during the summer. Your only allowed to have 500 calories the first week, and it's basically all protien. I tried it for a week but got so sick of just eating meat I wanted to puke. They give you pills and b12 shots twice a week. I heard it works but I couldn't handle it.

ok...not the same as Medical Weight Loss. 500 calories and just Protein? That's not much food at all as protein is high in calories.

Why spend that kind of money when you are already banded? My surgeon says when you stall to go back to a liquid diet for 1 to 2 weeks.

I did go on a new directions liquid diet for four weeks n lost ten lbs but after that plateau again! That's why I want to try this high Protein, low carb n low calorie diet for a while!

I have such mixed feelings about Medi. The first time I did it, I lost 20lbs in a month, but loved it. Money became an issue to I stopped going. I gained all the weight back of course. Tried it again and didn't do as well. It takes a lot of will power. First week was only 600 calories of PROTEIN only. I can no longer stand the smell of deli turkey. and you better like cottage cheese and eggs cause thats all you'll have. Second week you add in 2 cups of veggies and week 3, 1 cup of fruit. The clinic I went to was 70 bucks a week. And by the 3rd week, all you're paying for is to get weighed in and get a shot by a tech, not even the RN. not worth the money. Also, even if I lost 2lbs, they acted like I was a faliure for not loosing more.

I went right back to weight watchers and did much better and was much happier!

I am in Texas and did a program with Internet Medical Clinics. At the time it was approximately $250 for 4 mos plus $18 a week for B-12 shots. They did a lot of lab work, prescribed Armour thyroid as well as the regular, phentermine, a very mild diuretic, for the first few weeks, vitamins and gave a reommended diet. I lost really well for 6 months (phentermine apparently works less well after) and even kept weight off. I think the B-12 helped tremendously and wish any of my dotors would offer it. But it was expensive. Still, I am now at a plateau and am considering going back for everything but phentermine.

I was on it 3 years ago. It is costly, I lost 40 pounds in 3 months, stayed on it another 3 more months and lost 6 more pounds. Went off of it and in less that 6 months had gained back 53 pounds. So not worth it!
