Dr. Bernstein's "Supervised" weight loss Program. (Lady, can you spare a nipple?)

I was actually on this program for four weeks a number of years ago. Money back guarantee (program compliance required) is their caveat.

I am a larger gentleman and have had issues with sleep apnea. So, off to Dr. Bernstein's I go.
I don't recall if there was a consultation fee, but the weekly fee was $100.00 cdn.

The "doctor" said because of my weight, they will put me on more calories than they normally put people on. So, I got 1100 calories a day. (they usually give people 750- 850).
I think what they do to justify their fee, which is essentially the charge for getting injections of synthetic B6 and B12 is this; They withhold natural B6 and B12 from your diet. Since you need these, they provide it, by injection, at a cost.

It's the equivalent of making tap water non-consumable, just to force you to buy bottled water.

Neither 750 nor 1100 calories is sufficient for an able bodied adult. (not that these would be allowed, but Big Mac's are listed as 540 calories on their website)

So, if you follow their diet, get their injections and don't lose weight, they claim they will give you your money back. However, how can one not lose weight on 750-1100 calories. Even Nicole Richie could lose weight on that program.

Neither the hostile doctor (I heard him actually yelling at patients) , the cost or the calorie count was the reason it didn't go beyond four weeks.

When I went in my last time, I mentioned that I was reading the maintenance program and didn't see milk.

The doctor responded with a snarky "Why would you want to drink milk anyway?"
Ahh, it tastes good, it goes with coffee or tea for some.
He said "No other animal drinks the milk of another animal" (Did he just call me an animal?).

I said, 'well, that's true, but women seem to object if I ask them for milk directly'
