Re-gaining weight after completing the Bernstein Program
Hello, everyone,
I am considering giving the Bernstein clinic a call because although I have successfully lowered my A1C to 5.2 with diet, exercise and insulin, I cannot lose ANY weight and am even gaining on a low carb diet. I am now eating only fish, meat and veggies.
Two local celebrities lost quite a bit of weight there, and one was a nightly TV newcaster; we all watched as she lost weight (and looked drawn, tired and older - but slim) and were rooting for her; then she slowly gained it all back - that was so sad and must be awful for her.
A friend went there. lost 50 pounds and also gained it all back.
Has anyone had any experience with the program and successfully kept it off for 2 years + ?
Were there any negative effects during or after? any input would be appreciated. The cost here is $500 + per month, so I am doing some research first before spending all that.
