New here but with a "great" diet question :(
I am 20 years old, 5'7, weighing 225 pounds. My goal is to reach 175 or less and buld muscle after that. Someone at work told me of a great way to loose weight but it just seems weird. Everyone at work is doing this doctor diet thing now. You can loose anywhere from 6 to 12 pounds a week. That just seems a bit high and unhealthy. You start off by going to the doctor, $175 for initial visit. The $175 includes an EKG, blood work, and first set of pills which include appetite killers and calcium fat burners and an energy injection that includes sugars, amino acids, etc.
They recommend you take SOME kind of multi-vitamin, wether it be theirs OR over-the-counter. Along with that is a VERY strict diet regiment in which you must follow. You must revisit the doctor every week for re-weighing and refills on your pills and your energy injection. It is $50 a week for every visit. They are serious about you eating what they tell you to eat and not to cheat. My banker used to weigh 380 lbs. He is now at 273 lbs. 380 was his weight on halloween. I think that is awsome. I saw him yesterday and he looks thinner than ever! I have set up an appointment tomorow with them. I am just wondering, what is this type of diet called? How bad can this be for your health? Everyone around me is loosing crazy weight and feeling happier than ever! How hard do you think it will be to MAINTAIN the lost weight? ANY info would be GREAT! I have been trying to research this type of weight loss online but don't even know where or how to begin to search for it since I don't know what to call it. Thanks!
