The Doctors' Clinic 30 Program: A Sensible Approach to losing weight and keeping it off

20 years ago, I spent $15.95 & mail ordered this book out of the Sunday Parade on a whim. Figured I had wasted $15.95 on worse things. It worked & I lost 15 lbs, I was already trim, so it wasn't a huge issue to use maintenance. 20 years later I need to lose 50 lbs. I am using this with intermittent fasting. No food from 7 pm until noon the next day. Google it. Then I follow the Clinic 30 program. This is working great for me as I can still have bread. My favorite lunch is 2 mini bagles toasted = 2 breads with a slice of cheddar split between them = 1 meat. Or I have 2 pieces of rye bread toasted with a .5 teaspoon of butter, & fruit for snack later. I feel like I am in heaven. As you can tell I have a LOT of portions left for supper. Tonight I am having sushi & if I want a dessert, I have yogurt from my dairy portions. I hate planning little meals all day. Don't want the prep or have tiny portions that make me fee deprived. Weird thing was as soon as I started the Intermittent Fasting, IF, I stopped snoring. I have snored for years & my husband jokes about how bad it can be sometimes. I also have less heartburn too with IF. Fasting gives your entire system downtime to repair & heal. It also shrinks your stomach so you feel full quicker. This week I wore a pair of pants that were uncomfortable 2 weeks ago, so it is working. I hope this helps someone else. I have tried it all & frankly I think it made me fat when I wasn't fat before. Zone diet, adkins, 10 Day Smoothie diet, juicing, plates with the divided out portions, beachbody, sommersizing, Metopolic Research Center diet MRC, gluten free,..........This works, it has in the past, it is now. Listen to your body, if you hate what you are doing, you won't do it. I can easily skip breakfast, I did from the time I was little until I was 35. Guess what, I started gaining weight after eating breakfast & then I started waking up hungry. I have retrained myself to ignore the hunger, drink a big glass of water & it is gone. I also found I was eating with the clock. On my way to work I would grab breakfast because skipping breakfast is BBAADDD. 11 o'clock it's time for lunch. Now I stop & think "am I hungry." Most of the time it is No, no I'm not hungry, I think it is time to eat so yes I will eat but hungry no. Even with the IF, I look so forward to my toast at 12 so I can eat. But I'm not always hungry. I hope this helps someone else who is lost in this world of how to lose weight. Nothing works for all people. Find what works for you.

I love this program. I was on it back in the 90s and now using it again. Good information in the book also. Love It!

So, first of all this version is way smaller than the previous one I had for 20 years. But what’s with the “portion” numbers missing? How many Crackers? It just says “crackers” what the heck? Idk, I might send it back.

I ordered this because I had this book previously but it was written a long time ago, this was somewhat updated. Fast shipping!

Great read. Really drives the point home that your goal should not be to adopt a diet, but a lifestyle of eating that lasts long term. Gives great examples and tips to make this idea a reality. Also touches on the mental aspect of eating and how to overcome some of the pitfalls that our mind uses to sabotage our goals.

It is straight forward
