    Bread is bread. Since you are just following a diet based on the diet they set up for you, I wouldn't worry about whether you are getting the right bread or not. as long as you are eating fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. As for the nutritional aspect of it, there isn't much difference from one bread to the next.

    I have a friend who just went back onto Dr. B. She lost 75 pounds about 2 years ago and some has crept back on. We went out for dinner on Saturday night, man, I felt bad for her. Her face had no colour...well I guess Grey is a colour. Special ordered her dinner (nothing wrong with that) but she could only have green vegetables....is that a sugar thing? I was happily downing my glass of wine and some wild rice with my seafood and eating multicoloured vegetables. It definitely wouldn't be a diet for me.

    Who's Dr. Bernstein?

    A coworker of mine did this a few years ago. If I remember correctly (the OP can correct me if I'm wrong) it's a super low calorie diet restricting many foods, and you also get vitamin injections. She did it for maybe 6 months, lost a lot of weight and a TON of money, and gained it all back and then some shortly after.

    Dr. B's diet is way too low on calories and essential nutrients ( hello that's why the b12 shots when on it). Everyone I know who has used it (4 people-3 males) all regain the weight when it stops. It lets you eat 500 -600 calories a day.
    Try the gentler sustainable approach of my fitness pal.

    Chiming in because I too know people who have done Dr. Bernsteins and gained everything back plus more. Plus doling out $700 a month, getting a B-shot in the bum and losing their hair.

    I realize this is not the OP's question but I felt the need to get on the Dr. B hate bandwagon.

    Never heard of Dr. Bernstein. Seriously, people complicate this all too much. It's calories in/calories out. Eat at a deficit and you will lose. No need to cut carbs for a "jump start" unless you have a medical condition requiring you to eat less of them.

    Yes, yes, yes, yes. And another yes!
