I always wondered about Nutrisystem and since I've heard your reviews and pics, I realize I could not do it. Granted, the fibre and protien content is high, but what's the sodium like considering it's mostly powdered. Salt makes you retain water remember.

I know WW works too as does just cutting out the crap - namely sugars and carbs which convert into sugars...and alcohol. I'm sure you know this, but for every glass of the alkey, drink a glass of water to stave off the dehydration and help with the flushing of the bad toxins which can cause you to gain weight while drinking. It also helps with hangover quite a bit, because really, all a hangover is, is severe rapid dehydration.

Dr.Bernstien is basically a radical version of Atkins - they limit you quite a bit as to low GI foods and limited portions - such as 2 servings of fruit, veggies, bread/grains, protien a day. If you can live off that, go for it. PLUS, the heafty pricetag of about $600 for a month or so. Trust me, I looked into everything when I wanted to loose weight for my brothers wedding. You basically are in ketosis like Atkins and then they inject you with B12 and make you take potassium - basically, the B12 makes you not feel like ass and tired, and the potassium makes you piss like a racehorse.

So yeah, finding what works for you is key, but please don't risk your health for it. I learned that as I've tried various things and realize the best and actually the quickest way to loose weight and keep it off is watching food intake - sugars/carbs and so on and excersise like a fiend. :)

Jeebus, I didn't realize is was $600 a month!! I thought it was about the same cost. That definitely rules out Dr. B!!

Well, they have the costs posted on the board. It's like something like $300sumfin for the initial assessment and 1st week, and then $599 for 4 weeks of injections - you can go week by week for like $160 or something and you can get like 12 weeks for like $1200 or something like that.

IT'S INSANE!
