AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on skepticism regarding a weight loss program offered on the website drbdiet.com, which claims to provide effective results through strict diet control, counseling, and supplements. The program's high cost of nearly $2000 raises concerns, especially given the lack of substantial scientific backing or credible research related to its creator. Personal experiences shared highlight that significant weight loss typically requires rigorous exercise, which contrasts with the program's promises. While some individuals report positive outcomes after investing in the program, the overall sentiment leans towards caution, emphasizing the importance of consulting a doctor before starting any diet plan.

Hey guys,
I came across this weight loss website
http://www.drbdiet.com/

I've had a read of the website and he sounds a lot less "out there" than most of the people in this field and doesn't go into all the usual holistic mumbo jumbo. However, he does make claims like "after years of development and research" and charges close to $2000 for the program.

I am skeptical. I know from my personal experience that it is possible to lose 2-4 lb (1.25-2kg) per week depending on how hard you work out. But i was in my early 20's and had the time to put in 2 hours 4-5 times a week at the gym, plus cardio and play sports almost every day.

This one is saying he can do more with just strict diet control, counciling and supliments. It seems unreasonable to me.

I went to pubmed and searched for "Bernstein obesity", "Bernstein weight", "Bernstein S" but didnt come up with anything that seem to relate to this individual. I am not sure how else to evaluate this. I know people who have spent the coin and that have measurable positive results. But, forgive the cliche, this just sounds too good to be true.

I would appreciate some feedback.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
