See my post please.  I can offer some advise if you like.  You must be seeing Dr. Lara.  He starts his patients off that way.  Give it time tho. It WILL work!

It IS Dr. Lara!!!
I`m so glad someone has heard of him.
Thanks . I`ll be looking for your posts.

A girl that I work with goes to him.  She gave me a copy of her diet. I just stay around 800 calories a day.
It is almost the same plan except that you are doing a version of the atkins diet.
She lost 40 pounds in 7 weeks with that diet.

Wow! it is a small world!
Let me know how you do on it. It took about 3 weeks before I started dropping weight like crazy. Watch for constipation tho.  That can keep you from feeling like you are not losing. My doctor told me to get "Senacot-plus" to help with constipation. It works.
Vegetable laxative with a stool softener.

Keep me posted on your diet and weight loss. You will get there!

Blessings!

Dr. Lara's program works!  You just have to follow it to a "T" and you will experience dramatic results.  I only did it for about 2.5 months but had the BEST results ever.  I have been off since the middle of August and have not gained yet.  It is really pretty easy.  Email me if you want any details.

I`d like very much to hear from you, and about your experience with Dr. Lara`s program.
If they didn`t give me those appetite surpressants, I would be turning cannible by now......
I`m already worried about how can I not gain weight without them, I know I won`t be eating just 14 oz. of food daily for the rest of my life.

Interesting name, by the way.
The diet would be incredible hard ,and probably not very healthy without the other components. You are give appetite surpressants, fat burners and an injection of B-6.
First few days is 10 oz of protein for all day, and that`s IT. No other food nothing ...nada........zip.
The next stage moves to 14 oz daily.That`s when you add a few veggies and fruits from a very selective list.
With out the pills I wouldn`t have made 24 hours.

My girlfriend used Dr. Lara and she did great. She did follow the program to a T and did well. She has shared the diet with me and
I did drop pounds. The pills help you with cravings and teach you control. She has been off them for months and still looks great.

Hi again,
This is my 3rd weigh in tomorrow.  Once a week to the doctors office. (weigh in and get pills for week, and your injection.
Actually you get a B-12 shot. I think I said B-6 before.
That is mixed with amino acids and fat burners.
!st week I lost 6.5 lbs.
2nd week I lost 4.5 lbs.
Tomorrow???????????  I `ll let you know.
Thanksgiving you know?  What was I thinking? Start just before the holidays?  Jeeeezz. I did have a transparent piece of pumpkin pie, and yes, it had whipped cream too.
Working out?
Not exactly. I belong to a gym and lately haven`t made time to go.
I have to.  Let me know how you`re doing.

Dr. Lara is in Clearwater Florida.
Are you close?

by spiritfan, Nov 28, 2006 12:00AM
Dr Lara's program is incredible...very easy to do but can be costtly.  I didn't have that much to loose; about 20lbs but did it in less than 8 weeks with absolutely 0 exercise...I recommend exercise but at the time I couldn't seem to fit it in  Since I've been off, I am doing just fine...but I am doing cardio and that's it.  my email is ***@**** if you have direct questions...i am not sure how much we are allowed to talk about programs or dr.s in particular so I will stop now and wait for your email.

take care

Well, that`s a long ride to Clearwater FL.!!
Try posting on this forum, and asking for any info about Drs. in your area.  I`ve seen other people get results like that.
Good Luck.

Im on Dr LAras diet.. Ive been on the diet for three weeks. I have lost 15 pds. The diet really works you have to be very strict. He is relly great Dr. At first i was sceptical about the weight loss. But after three weeks i know it works. for 10 years i was at the same weight. Hired the trainer nothing worked. Until a client told me about him. Its expensive but worth it.i just started my daughter on it. This is her first week. So not sure of the weight loss. But will check back.

by stargayzer, Jan 24, 2007 12:00AM
How do you get a diet with Dr Lara if you are in a different state?  I am in New Jersey and I'm at my wits end.  I need help to loose some weight!

by 4evermom, Jul 25, 2007 08:13PM
To: Spiritfan
I was wondering if you could give me some info about Dr Lara's diet.I only have 10 lbs. to loose so I was wondering if I could follow the diet plan without the med's to loose the weight or do I REALLY need them? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Can you give me an idea of what proteins you ate for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast seems hard eating meats so early in the AM.

I am currently doing Dr. Lara's diet with some success.  I know it is not a good idea to drink alcohol while doing this diet, but honestly, thats kinda hard to give up completely.

Does anyone have any advice, (besides dont do it) about alcohol and this diet.  Whats considered Ok per week?
