I thought it was great (and very expensive). I had no cravings. But I did notice that I lost a considerable amount of muscle mass. BTW, I'm diabetic and my endo dr. told me that it was not a good diet to be on cuz I was "starving" my body. "So what?" I thought. But since the Bernstein Diet is a Ketosis(sp? Keto-something) diet, diabetics need to watch their Ketones more closely. I would recommend the Bernstein diet if you have trouble motivating yourself to get the ball rolling. Seeing results in a matter of 2 weeks got me excited and I stuck with the program. Note: Since my spouse was not on the program with me, it was a pain in the ass to have two shopping lists and two meal plans for the week (agian, expensive). No pain no gain (or loss) I guess! alywasbclosing at Hotmail |

Same song and dance they give my diabetic sister. She continues to gain weight and take more meds and develop more cardiac and neuropathic symptoms as h er diabetes worsens. I, on the other hand, am on a ketogenic diet for my diabetes, take no meds (controlled with diet alone), lost a lot of weight, and have overall tremendous improvement in cardiovasclar health., I want to strangle these idiots that are killing people with their stupid, stubborn, uncubstantiated dark age teories and advice. || "So what?"

This is a misconception among those who are ignorant of the difference between benign dietary ketosis -- a completely harmless byproduct of the body burning its own fat, and ketoacidosis -- a dangerous condition in tyope I diabetics where their bodies burn their own muscle tissue for fuel because they are incapable of producing insulin. These are two totally different things, and it's absolutely anazing the utter ignorance and stupidity of supposedly intelligent medical professionals when it comes to understanding the difference! || || I would recommend the Bernstein diet if you have trouble motivating || yourself to get the ball rolling.

I decided to stick with my modified Atkins version of low-carb. They are actually remarkably similar. When i say "modified," I watch my calorie intake as well as my carb intake. I find this keeps me healthiest and trimmest. YMMV. || || Note: Since my spouse was not on the program with me, it was a pain || in the ass to have two shopping lists and two meal plans for the || week (agian, expensive).
