Dr. Fountis is the only doctor I have ever come across that delivers on every single promise - even in writing! I went into this as skeptical but was desperate and willing to give it a try. I am so glad I did. Since starting in July I have lost over 80 pounds, and that includes a 3 week break (female). The diet is simple and easy if you are committed. It is hard if you are looking for excuses and good ways to cheat. Stick with the plan as she prescribes and it really does work. The cost is nominal compared to the cost of associated food I would eat before going on the plan. To say Dr. Fountis is anything but awesome is suspicious at best.
