| 126.1 | it works; so does starvation | TIGEMS::RYDER | Al Ryder, aquatic sanitary engineer | Tue Oct 06 1987 05:54 | 4 |
| A co-worker has just lost about 40 pounds in a short time with this
plan. However, members of this conference know that the real test
will be his maintenance of the new level.

What is the program at these centers?
Thanks,

| I went to WPLC on an 8 week program. Lost a total of 37 pounds in
that time.
While I did lose the weight, I haven't written about the program,
because I have some concerns about it.
I'll respond to send/author until I can get all the "right" words
for a reply.

| 126.4 | I liked Physician Wt. Loss Center | WAGON::SWINIARSKI | NANcy--*NANSKI*--SwiniarSKI | Wed Mar 02 1988 08:38 | 15 |
| I was and am a participant in the program at PWLC.
I have been in Arlington and N. Andover, my job
changed so I transfered for convenience. I'll answer
any questions I can off line or over the phone. The
owners of the two facilities are personal friends and I
don't find it ethical to publically advertise for them
over this conference.
BTW - I met them while a member at their center, the personel
staff at these centers have a lot to do with your sucess
on the program. Besides that they are each indivdually owned.

| 126.5 | It's DANGEROUS! | RAVEN1::D_PAINE | | Tue Jun 28 1988 10:08 | 22 |
| I ran into a friend that I hadn't seen in a while. She told me
that she has been working at Physicians Weightloss Center. She
also told me that their "guarantee" was based on the fact that your
body must be in a state of ketosis!!
Now, I remember reading in here somewhere that they used to do that,
and someone else replied, saying that they didn't do that any more.(I
can't find those notes! :-()
Well, this center is in South Carolina, and they DO insist that
your body stay in a state of ketosis...you must bring in a urine
sample every week, and if your body is not in this state three weeks
in a row, YOU GET KICKED OUT! Their "motto" is , "If you cheat,
it'll show in your urinalysis, so you can't blame us if you don't
lose weight."
I know that they may be independantly owned, but I thought I'd put
out a warning....

| 126.6 | Every Diet is DANGEROUS!! | WAGON::SWINIARSKI | NANcy--*NANSKI*--SwiniarSKI | Tue Aug 09 1988 12:35 | 18 |
| re .5
Any diet is DANGEROUS unless supervised by a "physician."
"PHYSICIANS" Weightloss Center says it right in their name.
The diet requires that the patient remain in ketosis. Drinking
8 glasses of water a day will wash the keytones from your kidneys.
When I was a patient we were required to go for a weigh-in everyday
for the first two weeks and three times a week there after. I went
every day through out the duration of my program.
Blood-pressure is checked weekly and even more often if you asked Blood
tests were also required every six weeks. It was a well supervised and
controlled diet.
Each center is privately owned. I went to a good one - (-:

| 126.7 | does PWLC = Atkins? | STEREO::BROWN | that's the way the Wookie grumbles | Thu Oct 05 1989 13:57 | 5 |
| Is this anything like the Atkins Diet? All meat & protein, no/low
carbohydrates?
I had PWLC recommended to me, but I will look for other opinions
before I commit to a plan.
