Does anyone know Dr Brown?

I am asking for a friend at work.  This Dr is a weight loss Dr covered by Ohio.  I am reading over the diet and it seems to be one of those low carb diets.  I begged my friend  not to do the no carb diet as most of know the consequences of that.  Not only does the diet seem unreasonable but he has been told to take 10 different vitamins, supplements,minerals etc etc and when i look at them and it seems to be that they are there to counter act a side effect of another pill.  Not only all of these extras but his regular meds on top of it all.  It also says to take B vitamins orally and when I went to school the nutrition part and all the chemical compounds our bodies do not absorb it orally the best way is injection and alternately sublingual.  It also states that if need be he can skip breakfast if he is not hungry ( alarm bells ringing here!!!)  Does anyone know about this diet?  Am I wrong to be so concerned?  He is not want to go the wls route.  I suggested WW because at least it is more realistic eating.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz

I'm guessing he's like Dr. Bernstein by the sounds of it.  I thought you meant Dr. Bernstein but then I saw this:

Thanks for the link Dawn, I would run not walk as far away from this doc as I could IMHO.

Thanks Dawn,

WOW thats pretty bad.  I will forward this link to my friend.  Makes you wonder if the staff logs in to counter act the bad reviews? lol

Thanks,

Liz, that was my thought, it's very common.

Just happened upon this site looking for support group . I was on Dr. Browns diet in early 2010 for 4 months. I did find it hard work but what diet isnt. I loved the end results. Not only did I lose weight but he was able to correct my hormone problems. I know some people dont like him but I had no problems. I found him no nonense and not accepting of my excuses. I guess it was my excuses that got me to 210 pounds in the first place.He explained the whole science of the diet in my orientation. I forgot most of it, but I do know it was not low carb but rather something to do with getting my body to react differently to food and my insulin levels. I hear from a friend who is on the program now that the vitamins are a powder. I was so close to considering surgery but aside from risks I didnt believe that surgery would deal with my relationship with food. I see so many celebs who had surgery and then still gain weight. I have maintainned my weight somewhat, I have given myself a 10 pound window and then go back to Dr. Browns week one of program, Thats why I am looking for support because times of weakness are really tough and the bag of cookies calls out to me. Anybody know of a support group?
