Just wanted to thank you & let you know of the wonderful staff you have at the St. Catharine’s location. I am 22 years old and was on the program for 8 months. I successfully lost 123 pounds and I could not have done it without these girls. I have been off the program now for 2 months and I have kept it off! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the results of your diet. Now that I’m on maintenance, I find it easy to keep it off. Discovering the secret of eating more protein has been a huge key to my success. I’m not hungry and I don’t have cravings. I had been to Weight Watchers in the past but, with my big appetite, the weight would come back on. I’m a local Realtor and looks are important. Thanks again and keep up the good work! P.S. My husband says that I eat like a lumberjack - the right foods work!

Thank you so much, you have helped me lose almost 25 pounds in 4 weeks. I am not hungry, and have more energy than before. I work out at the gym 3 times a week. I have a wedding to go to in England and my personal goal is to be 50 pounds lighter. In just 2 months!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU for all your work in this area. Having tried the other programs out there, this is the one that works best for me.

I started your diet on Nov 25 2006 and nine weeks later I had gone from 248.8 lbs. to 201.4 lbs. I feel much better both physically and more importantly mentally about how I look and feel! My doctor is impressed with my health. I am 52 years old and to be told I have the blood pressure of a teenager assures my family and him that I am much healthier now. I would like to thank the doctor and the staff at the Christy’s Corner clinic in Edmonton for their encouragement and support. Along with my family, they were instrumental in helping me reach my goal weight.
Yours sincerely,

I went on your Diet over a year ago, and in just 5 months I lost 98 lbs. It has changed my life. I still meet friends from years gone by who haven’t seen me and can’t believe it’s really me. I have always been overweight. I can’t believe what a life changer this was and in only a few short months. Thank you.

I wish to convey my thanks to your staff at the Yorkville Clinic who continually assist, motivate and support me in my weight-loss program. This has changed my life in terms of improved health, mobility and self-esteem. I have travelled abroad twice this summer, something I haven't done for many years. I no longer apologize to the person next to me on the plane! When I travel on the buses in Toronto, people no longer avoid sitting next to me although this isn't always an advantage! My knees no longer hurt and I no longer require injections in my left knee. I am impressed with the program and it is because of your staff, that I am motivated to continue this journey. I look forward to coming to the clinic where I always receive a warm welcome. I hope to meet my goal at the end of the year and continue with your maintenance program.
Thank-you
Just a quick note to thank you for excellent and long-term results. I return from time to time if I gain more than 5 lbs. for a quick tune up. I feel well and I look good. I have not and will not regain the 40 lbs. that I needed to lose. With gratitude.

I still write down everything I eat, watch what I eat and I have not regained any weight. I still visit the wonderful ladies at the Kanata Clinic. It's like going home for a visit. I still use Dr. B's cookbook for many different meals but the Chili is still our favourite.
Thank you Dr. B.

It was April 2009, shortly after I returned from a lovely vacation with my husband in the Caribbean that I heard of the Dr. Bernstein diet (over lunch of all things.) I immediately researched the program and signed up within a week. You see, after 10 years of "life" (bearing two children, a busy work/travel schedule, lack of exercise and horrible eating habits) I had exploded to an all-time weight of 207 lbs. on my 5'6" frame. Enough was enough - my vacation pictures were too embarrassing to share with anyone, and my self-esteem was eroded. As a 41 year-old woman I needed to reclaim my body, health and sense of self-worth. Thanks to the Dr. Bernstein program, I lost 67 lbs. in 4 1/2 months! I look and feel amazing!

I have had total success having started in October '07. I am now on maintenance after losing over 185 lbs. in about 11 months… Thank you, Dr Bernstein. This has truly been a life changing journey… From the beginning, the doctor gave excellent care and has overseen my massive weight loss with care and concern… He has been there every step of way... All the staff have been very supportive and helpful. They are the best and they have helped me identify and correct any patterns before they became problems, especially now that I'm on maintenance and am learning to create an eating plan for the rest of my life… As far as the physical improvements, I'm off eight of the ten or so meds I was on when I started. Lipids, glucose and BP are all greatly improved. I walk the dog (which I couldn't do before), I bike and am able to do things I haven't done in years. I'm full of energy. I get compliments and awe-struck looks from folks who haven't seen me for a while. Every day I am AMAZED at how great I feel. This is the best thing I have ever done for my health and well-being... Dr. Bernstein, you have figured it out... This diet truly does work...
Thank you.

Dr. Bernstein, I needed to let you know just how happy, joyous and free I feel after joining your diet clinic. Happy, because I have finally found a truly "life-saving" method of weight loss that works so well for me. Joyous, because I am losing weight rapidly, without feeling hungry or deprived (for the first time in my life long "career" of dieting). Last, but certainly not least, I feel free. Free from my life-long compulsion to over-eat.
Thank you so much Dr. Bernstein, you are saving my life, one pound at a time.

I would like to convey my extreme gratitude to this program for helping me do what I was never able to do before. In June 2006 I started my journey at 270 lbs. In March 2007 I reached my personal goal of 158 lbs. At 5' 9" I am very happy at this weight. As of today (October 27, 2008) I have maintained this weight by following common sense eating habits and exercising. Yes I am tempted but I have created a basic mantra for myself; "Nothing tastes as good as looking this good feels". Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.

Four and a half weeks into my diet and I’ve lost 34.5 lbs.
The staff at the Oshawa clinic are always cheerful and helpful with my questions even at 6:30 am when I normally attend. I play golf and hockey three times a week and already I feel better and can compete at a level I used to consider long gone. I can hardly wait for the results as I continue to lose more weight and feel better every day. Thanks again

I just can’t thank you enough for your program. I started June 14th this year and as of today I have lost 40 pounds (3.5 months). I just got back from a month holiday in Arizona and even lost a few pounds there. I had so much fun shopping for new clothes as I went from a tight fit size 16 to a perfect fit size 6. It was great to try on clothes only to find out I needed a smaller size. I feel younger than I did 5 or more years ago. Thanks for giving my life something to feel great about!

I have been on your fabulous program for one month now at the Georgia Street Clinic in Vancouver. The staff at the Georgia Street office go above and beyond what I would expect in terms of their level of service and support. In addition to their high level of professionalism, there is a palpable vibrancy they exude, and it is obvious that they work very well as a team and enjoy their work. It is my pleasure to extend to you my great satisfaction as a customer.

I have been a client at the Brentwood clinic since October 2004 and I want to express my appreciation to the staff at that location. ALL of the staff at Brentwood has been outstanding – they are pleasant, professional, courteous and always willing to take the time to help. I have now been on maintenance for 3 months and only go once a week, but is always a pleasure to see them. What a great group of people – I tell them all the time how happy and helpful I have found them, but I feel it is important that the organization know what valuable employees they have with that group of people.
Thank you.

To the Wonderful Team at Scarborough Branch (including Doctors, Nurses and Administrative staff):
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation in your continued encouragement in my progress.
I am a front line child protection worker in Toronto. It is an extremely challenging yet rewarding job; however I was making unhealthy food choices and emotionally eating in the late evenings.
Before I embarked on the Dr Bernstein weight loss program in April 23, 2013, I was feeling extremely burnt out and depressed. I weighed 235 lbs and found that I was not eating in a healthy manner. The nurses and doctors at Scarborough educated me on health and wellness. Your admin staff gave me encouraging words and respectfully accommodated my appointment times and last minute cancelations. The team there was so professional and courteous.
Your nurses took the time (up to 20 minutes at times) to walk me through healthier food choices, lifestyle changes, exercises and vitamins. They were so very patient and caring. Your Doctors took the time to go through my chart and educate me on enriching my health and eating while monitoring portion size to regulate my blood sugar. For years I did not know this! It was because of this team that I stayed from April 23rd to October 4th! They supported me during four weddings and even my Birthday! Great team!!!
My weight today is 138 lbs. I lost almost one hundred pounds on your program. I feel rejuvenated! My skin and hair is healthier and my mind is much sharper! My depression has decreased and my doctor has reduced my anti depression medications. My diabetes is now under control. I feel like a new person! I will forever be grateful to the Dr Bernstein Health and Wellness Centres! I full heartedly recommend this program to many professionals in my field.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Astuti

I am writing to sing the praises of your Yorkdale clinic. I am in my third year of maintenance with this clinic and undoubtedly the friendly and supportive nature of the Yorkdale staff contributes to my commitment to your program. The staff are very patient and tactfull. My visits to the clinic provide me with psychological support during my emotional highs and lows - I can always depend on the staff to lend an ear. In addition, special kudos to Dr. Grief, whose professionalism and attention to patient care are constant. This clinic addresses my needs in my efforts with my weight management - thank you Yorkdale staff for exemplary care.

I am writing to thank you for offering such an innovative and comprehensive weight loss program.
As a client, I have lost almost 80 lbs. in just under 11 weeks! I have started maintenance and anticipate that this success will translate into long-term weight stability. As a physician, I was skeptical starting the program, but my concerns were quickly put at ease by a professional and courteous staff. I have never seen such drastic results with any other bariatric program.
Thanks to the staff at the Whitby clinic for making it a quick and easy process. Their cheerful demeanor made early morning weigh-ins a pleasure.

I have been going to your clinic since January of this year. These two stellar employees have guided me with all of my challenges that I have encountered in the last 6 months trying to lose weight. I truly believe these two individuals have gone above and beyond their job descriptions. The reason I say this is, they have been there for every challenge I have encountered including going out to restaurants, going on vacations and other gatherings such as business and family.
Both of these women have helped me when it came to food preparations, what is allowed, what is not and why. They took their time with me and helped me understand the reasons as to why Dr. Bernstein’s clinics work. Over several years, I have always thought nutrition was not as important as reducing calories. Again, they have taken their time to explain the nutritional value of your program, the dos and don’ts. It finally makes sense to me after trying to battle with my weight for years.
Dr. Bernstein, I have had numerous health challenges that have increased my weight tremendously. Your Clearwater Clinic has helped me with those challenges.
I no longer need to take high blood pressure medicine and numerous other medications that I had to take for multiple years.
The nurses are so kind and considerate. They have such patience with every client that comes in your clinic. I have sat back and observed, thinking it was just me that they treat this way, but they do it for everyone.
I want to thank these ladies for all they do, and more.
Sincerely,

I am writing to tell you how happy I have been since starting [The Queen's University School of Rehabilitation Therapy's Knee Replacement Study] and your diet plan. I not only have less pain but my mobility is much improved. I am able to shop more at this time of year than a year ago. Last year, I would have had to sit often to relieve the knee pain. I weighed in this morning with a weight loss of 116.4 lbs. THANK YOU for doing this for me. I feel this experience has been a blessing for me and I am also honored to be a part of this study. I also want to tell you that you have such a GREAT staff in your Belleville Clinic. Everyone from the Head Nurse to the Receptionist, is pleasant and well educated and I look forward to going each time. Thank you again for this GREAT experience.
Thank you.

Both my parents have been using the Dr. Bernstein clinical diet since summer ’08.
They are EXTREMELY satisfied! The have recommended their friends to Dr. Bernstein clinic and those friends are very satisfied too. My parents' health has improved so much in so little time, and it's amazing to see them being even healthier than me, and being able to wear the clothes they had 30 years ago. They have finally reached the goal they've been working on for more than 20 years, and it is only your clinical diet that has made it work! We have recommended Dr. Bernstein to anyone we know, not because of marketing and discounts, but for 100% success and great results they will receive. Thank you again for all the joy and health you and your staff have brought to my parents and my family!
Thank you.

I received the most wonderful birthday gift today, January 8, 2009 - my 65th birthday!
I've lost 30 lbs. on the Bernstein diet!
A big thank you to the Bernstein Team at the Brentwood Centre in Calgary. They have made such heroic efforts to encourage, uplift, educate, motivate and affirm but never shame me as I moved along on this journey since early October. Having a nursing background I do understand how difficult it is to keep up the pace of encouraging those who are non-compliant patients. They just want to make the magic happen without the effort of sticking with the program.
Today I feel free and alive and I'm so grateful for the new me that is emerging! While this birthday blessing was not my goal, it's fun to see the change at this stage in my life.
I've tried numerous times to take off the weight, but always ended in a disappointed crumpled heap because I couldn't keep up the pace and caved-in in defeat! I'd been doing some self-talk saying, "You've written a book-a 3 year project while working at a high stress job, you should also be able to focus, stick with a diet and lose the weight-it's another project!”
In late September or early October I was having difficulty sleeping at 3:00 am. I turned on the TV and there was Dr. Bernstein! My husband and I watched for a few minutes and then he encouraged me when I said, "I think I can do that.” Suddenly, my mind shifted into a positive mode. That very morning I called the office, made an appointment and the rest is history. I believe in the program, the results and just how great I've felt all along. I still have more weight to lose, but a 65th birthday is a wonderful landmark for this stage of my success. I'm celebrating by saying, "I couldn't have done it without all of you!"
A huge thank-you to all the nurses and doctors and to Dr. Bernstein for a program that really works.
A truly grateful woman!
Thank you. A.S. Calgary, AB
I just wanted to thank Dr. Bernstein. After many years of trying to lose weight, I’ve now succeeded. In January 2003 I began going to the clinic in Kanata, ON, and in about 4 1?2 months I reached my goal of losing 100 pounds, (going from 310 to 210). After a few months of being on the maintenance program, I felt secure enough to maintain my weight. It’s approaching the 2-year mark from when I completed the maintenance program and I’m still at my target weight, feeling great and secure in the knowledge that I will never let myself get that heavy again.
Thanks, Dr. Bernstein. Your diet worked for me.

I would like to thank you for helping to change my quality of life. I was suffering from high blood pressure, daily pills for gout, as well as limited mobility with arthritic hips and borderline high cholesterol. In our local paper I read your advertisement and decided to give you a try. I weighed in on Aug 28 at 254 lbs. and started the diet Sept 1st. By Nov 10 I had reached by goal of 185 lbs. for a loss of 69 lbs. in about 70 days. During this time my cholesterol dropped from borderline high to above the top end of the good scale. Also I have been able to stop my blood pressure pills as my pressure now is lower than it was when I was taking these pills, and also gone is my daily need for the gout pills. My hips are still a mess from the arthritis but whereas before I could not walk 200 ft. or tie my shoes, now I can walk for about a mile at a time, skate with my grandkids and generally enjoy life again. Needless to say myself, my wife and family greatly appreciate the change in me.
Even during the holiday season and vacation to Mexico I was able to keep within my guideline for weight control. I have averaged 185 lbs. now, give or take 2 lbs., since Nov 15th 2004 to Feb 7th 2005. One of the greatest things about this plan is the lack of cravings during the diet, the controlled return to most all foods and of course the staffs, of whom most are fantastic and very helpful and encouraging.
I have sent a colleague from work that at present has lost 30 lbs. in just under a month, and my daughter will start shortly. Again, thanks for the new, better, healthier me.
Thank you.

I started on May 17, 2007 at 193.8 lbs. at a height of 5’6” and age 46 years.
It was amazing the benefits I realized within the first week, such as the swelling that left my face and the ability to move my body without much effort. I have suffered from groin pulls, knee pain, asthma, back, neck and shoulder pain from carrying an excessive amount of breast tissue… discomfort in all my clothes… deep grooves in my shoulders from bra straps… and the list goes on. I also suffered from headaches a couple of times a week and approximately four migraines a year. I suffered from hip and back pain and stiffness that left me out of commission for four months… and high cholesterol in January 2007, and then I started to get winded during a simple walk from the subway. I knew then that… I needed to take control.
I am currently 123.6 lbs. (a total loss of 70 lbs.). I went from a size 18 down to a size 4-6.
Since starting the program, I have had two headaches in total caused by barometric pressure. I have not had any episodes of asthma, my knees no longer plague me and I am now able to wear high heels. The muscle spasms and knots in my shoulders and back have disappeared… I have had no recurrence of groin or hip/back pain… my cholesterol dropped to normal levels in the first month on the program, my blood pressures have all been very good and my resting heart rate is excellent. Cellulite that defined by legs, buttocks and arms is no longer present…. and now reveals the contours of muscle making my arms and legs more shapely.
From the date of starting the diet, all incidents of heartburn, acid indigestion, reflux, gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation ceased – in fact, everything internally works efficiently and I feel “normal” each and every day. I no longer suffer from lethargy… in fact, it is effortless to move my body now… I feel like a teenager with tons of energy. People now tell me I look taller due to my leaner physique. The biggest change I feel is how my face transformed from being puffy and bloated to lean – I now have a defined jaw line.
I now take pride in my appearance… for so long I stopped caring and did not put the effort into presentation. I now dress in colour, rather than just the slimming blacks, navys and browns. Rather than wearing tops and blouses over pants for coverage, it is now wonderful to be able to tuck them in and to accessorize with belts…. I rarely wore necklaces as they would cut my neckline in half. It is now a pleasure to be able to wear necklaces, scarves and long earrings again. I used to hate shopping for clothes – it was depressing that clothes did not fit right or at all and did not look good on. Now I love to shop.
What I find amazing is that, when I was heavy, I became invisible to the world… I must admit that I wanted to be invisible and would hide behind my plus size clothes and hated being in crowded places. Now, people are courteous and pleasant, make eye contact, and initiate conversations. Before I was not happy with myself, so it was difficult for me to be content with my life. Now I love myself and as a result my relationships have been enriched.
People think that it is too good to be true, that it is a hard diet that you starve on it and I try to tell people that it really is the easiest thing I have ever done. I tell them that there are, no word of a lie, no cravings and no hunger and they are dumbfounded. I tell them that the biggest benefit for me is the feeling of health and that everything works correctly – you feel normal each and every day! Or rather the “new normal.”
I did my research about Dr. B.’s diet, looked at everything on the website, spoke with those I knew doing or who had done the diet, e-mailed and called the clinic with questions before deciding to undertake the program. I had never been a big believer in diets before because of the huge failure rate I’d seen in people with other plans. But after researching Dr. B.’s program, I knew it was the only diet I would consider because of all the support systems and medical supervision provided throughout the strict program and maintenance. I decided at the outset that I was going to be a “lifer.” Maintenance to me is the key to keeping the weight in check. Yes, the Dr. Bernstein program is a club that anyone experiencing any amount of overweight or poor nutrition should join.
I have woken out of my obesity and unhealthy lifestyle to a life full of energy, positive outlook, self-love instead of loathing… in short, a life meant to be lived to the fullest extent! I have a new lease on life and all thanks go to Dr. Bernstein! He has changed my life forever. He has taken the confusion out of eating healthy balanced meals and led me on a sensible path to maintaining my new body. I am eternally grateful!
Thank you. N.A.
I have lost over 60 pounds in less than 4 months and love this diet! I have gotten off of my high blood pressure medicine and have had lots of people become interested in the diet.
I proudly claim "DR. BERNSTEIN’S DIET" is what I’ve been on and quickly give them the number to the clinic. It is the best diet I have ever been on - I haven’t weighed this low in over 20 years. Thank you Dr. Bernstein above all for your invention and for having a terrific staff!

I have joined the Dr. Bernstein Diet Program at the Calgary Downtown Clinic since July 2010. I am very impressed by the services and professionalism that the staff have provided. Most importantly, I have successfully reached by weight target within my expected target date with the coaching and encouragement from the staff there.
The staffs at the downtown clinic are very friendly and personable. I and my wife, who is also a client, are very pleased with the care we received.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your guidance and support during my journey her at the Dr. Bernstein Clinic. I could not have done it without you.
As you have seen, my body has gone through quite a transformation after losing 157 lbs. However, it’s not the only thing that changed. I have noticed an improvement in my health, as well as my confidence, presence & attitude. I have started to do things that I had never done before (yoga) and thins I had not done in so many years, such as racquetball and volleyball and golf. I’m looking forward to water skiing this summer and getting back on those downhill skis & skating on the canal next winter. Shopping has also been a blast!
So again, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. But you’re not done seeing me yet. I’ll be hanging around for a while as I will be doing the maintenance for at least a year. As I said all along, quitting was not an option and neither is putting the weight back on.
A very happy and successful Dr. Bernstein client,
C.P., Ottawa, ON
P.S. Please thank Dr. Bernstein for me for creating and developing this weight loss program…it’s the best one out there!
Dear Everyone at Dr. Bernstein’s,
It has been quite a journey for me while I have made my way through the past 8 months with you. I am now back to the body size that I have been struggling to get back to and feel best at. All my life I have been an active person and I realized that the extra weight that was going up and up, was dragging me down mentally and physically and making everything harder for me. Nothing has produced results like Dr. Bernstein’s Diet & Health Clinic! I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your guidance and steadfast encouragement during the past 8 months. I am forever grateful!!!!!!!! I will keep all the lessons close so I will continue to enjoy the effort between us.
Thank you.

Dear Dr. Bernstein and Staff:
Prior to your program I had been doing Weight Watchers. It took so long that I began to get discouraged and gain weight back. I did lose 20 pounds, but it took me almost 1 1/2 years and I am not a patient person. I had been a slim person most of my life until my late 30's. Long story short, I had become so discouraged and embarrassed that I didn't want to see anyone who knew me when I was skinny. I stopped looking at all the fashion magazines, as they just made me feel worse. I used to be in a size 8 to 10 and at my heaviest I had gotten up to a 16. This was traumatic for me.
I recently began the Dr. Bernstein program on March 19th, 2009. I have lost over 23 pounds in almost two months. I found the nurses and the doctor amazing. I found that the program is a lifelong change that I could make and keep the weight off. Debbie and Jeanette, the nurses at my clinic prepared me for my future. They gave me the confidence and tools to keep the weight off. I am happy to report that I have been gone for almost a month and have not gained one pound back and have even continued to lose. What's more amazing to me is that Dr. B's program changed my entire eating habits and got me into the habit of eating naturally good food. I use to eat a lot of sweets, however I lost my craving for them and it used to be uncontrollable. I had my first brownie in three months and after a couple of bites I didn't want any more. I wanted fruit. Anyone that knows me knows that is a big deal. I have been able to eat most anything I want, I just watch the portions and use the tools I learned from the clinic. It really has become easy.
I want to thank Dr. Bernstein and the clinic staff for helping me achieve my goals. I am a very goal driven person; however getting the weight off was the one goal I wasn't able to accomplish until now. I wasn't embarrassed seeing the people I haven't seen in years. In fact I was proud. I have a new wardrobe and threw out all my size 12 to 16 clothes...happily.
I see the ads on television for other programs where you eat their food... I tried it and hated it... and I think why don't you just do Dr. Bernstein's program. It much less expensive, you shop at the grocery store and you eat normal food. Plus you will learn how to keep weight off for life without tricks. My entire family eats healthier now.
I believe in your program and would stake my life on it. Thank you for giving me my dignity back.

I attend the clinic at Wellington Road South in London. A couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses noticed the nitrites were high in my urine test. She asked me if I had any signs of a bladder infection, which I did not. Even so, she requested a sterile sample be sent off to the lab for testing. When I came into the clinic a few days later, there was already a prescription waiting for me from the Doctor. I had an e-coli infection that had not quite reached my bladder yet. I took the prescribed and it was gone.
I attribute catching this early to the nursing staff knowing that something was not right about my sample even without me having or complaining of any symptoms. All of the staff at Wellington Road are great, but this is an example of one of them individualizing their job and not rushing through the clients. I wanted to recognize her for noticing this and saving me the grief of a painful bladder infection which I never would have caught that early if it weren’t for her and the fact that I attend Dr. B's!!
Thanks Dr. B Staff
