The following are actual unsolicited real life success stories from patients:

Dear Dr. Kryger,

I just finished a week on your Dr K's Monterey Diet™. I have to say it was wonderful! I only needed to lose five pounds as my pants were getting tight, and it did the trick. Since I am an athlete, I backed off my training for the week, and just walked my dog instead of my usual 6-10 mile runs. I felt cleansed and good. Especially to be off sugar. Now I will follow a low fat and balanced diet for maintenance. I didn't lose as much as many might, but I didn't need to. It is most encouraging to lose and visually see the difference right away, which kept me encouraged. I did not cheat even once for the entire week. My husband is a medical doctor and was quite interested in this diet plan for short term weight loss, as he is an athlete also.

Sincerely, Denise, Michigan

Dear Dr Kryger,

Thank you for your wonderful diet, so far I have lost 17lbs. I would like to hold on to this phenomenon. Could you please email the maintenance diet.

Yours gratefully, Stephanie, Texas

Hello Doc,

Just wanted to fill you in on how things were going for me. I did use your cabbage diet Dr K's Monterey Diet™ and it worked wonderfully! I dropped the 10 pounds I wanted to and with a little help from family I stayed at the weight I wanted to be at. I am now eating a lot healthier then I was before and it really is making a difference.

Thank you for the Maintenance Diet. I'll give it a try maybe here in a few months. Right now I'm where I want to be but with winter coming my body tends to say: STORE FAT! If you get back with me about. . .Oh. . .December I'll let you know how it works for me.

Once again THANK YOU!!!!

Dear DrK,

Your cabbage/chicken soup tastes way better than some of the other cabbage diets we found on the net. I lost 12 pounds in ONE WEEK!

Dear Dr. K,

Thanks for your continued interest. Last week, I did five days of the 7-day fast and got really tired !! of it by the third day the last time around and just quit. I have lost over 12 pounds and that feels real good. I can fit into some of my older clothes again.

I felt entitled to have ice cream and cookies almost immediately after I quit the fast last week. I like oatmeal, but I don't know if I like it that much. I didn't really plan my shopping or cooking around the maintenance diet yet. Although I made a grocery list and have been looking for things like fat free parmesan cheese in the stores. And so far, I have not gotten serious about the maintenance part or the exercise part. I need to just take a deep breath and sit down and look at that. The thrill of losing the first few pounds was wonderful. Now, I have to look at my lifestyle.

After a weekend of enjoying ice cream and rice krispie bars and coffee with creamer, I am starting another round of the fast. I am not happy with slipping back to my sweets and fats routine. So before I start feeling really angry with myself I am going to drop another couple of pounds.

Also, my stomach feels good on the 7-day meal plan. I have difficulty with digestion or something on my normal diet. Things don't always agree with me or I feel too stuffed. I have to say that the foods on the 7-day plan are easy on my digestion and I do not feel stuffed no matter how much fruit, soup, chicken with tomatoes, or salad -- I feel full, not stuffed. That is a nice feeling. I do like vegetables and fruits anyway, and I love to make soups. So there are some good things for me right away. I lost 12 pounds in & DAYS, That's Amazing!!!!

Dear Dr.

Thanks for sending me the literature about Dr K's Monterey Diet™. I'll send you a check for it. I just completed my second week-loss of 23 pounds-it was a little hard towards the end of the second week but happy with the results.

Thanks, Peggy, Nebraska

Hello Dr. Kryger,

Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial regarding your cabbage soup diet.
I started Dr K's Monterey Diet™ on Feb. 15, 1999 and tipped the scale at a whopping 229 pounds! At 5 foot 8...that was a problem. I had heard of some people doing this "soup"diet through my wife's place of work. After about a month I started to notice some changes in these people.

I find that most people are reluctant to talk about dieting and everyone has their own opinion and point of view of what's right and what's wrong. At this point I did not know what type of soup these people were eating until, at a social gathering, I overheard someone say "thought you weren't supposed to eat chocolate on the cabbage soup diet". From there, right to the internet.

I found many different sites and variations of the diet. Luckily, I found the wellness clinic. I got the diet, looked at it and thought...yeah right!

I had one very big problem with it and that was that I am allergic to fruit. I e-mailed Dr. Kryger and within 12 hours I had a variation of what to do. I lost approximately 15 pounds the first week and at the middle of march weighed in at 193.

That's 36 pounds less! My waist went from a 40 to a 34! (so far). Being the skeptic that I am, I thought...well, I better test this thing.

See, I didn't want to just loose pounds, I wanted to loose inches. Most importantly, I wanted to keep it off. So I went off the diet for 28 days. Ate, drank and didn't exercise. I gained 4 pounds. For me, that was a big deal...not that I gained 4 pounds, but that I only gained 4 pounds!

The diet helped me not only drop size quickly but it helped my metabolism get a boost.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying to go on the diet and loose a bunch of weight and go back to your old eating habits because you will put it back on over time.

I know now what to do do for my body. For my own piece of mind I needed to know that if I was not able to exercise or watch what I eat as closely as I'd like, that I wouldn't gain 20 pounds back. So I "guinea pigged myself"!

As I stated earlier, I wanted to find something that would not only drop the pounds but the inches as well, and most importantly, keep it off! I didn't want a bunch of chemicals or pills either.

I started the diet and I think most importantly, started exercising again. I walked for an average of 45 minutes a day at a high tempo.

• You Must Exercise If You Want To Loose Size! I can't stress that enough. Read Dr. Kryger's web site and follow the diet. Not only does the diet help you loose size, It also helps you look at what you are putting into your mouth when you're not on the diet. I know that I needed to change my eating habits and essentially, my life style. Dr K's Monterey Diet™ helped me do that. I had hit rock bottom with the way I looked at myself.
• Friends and family always say "you look fine, what are you worried about?" but that's not the point, It's all about how you feel and perceive yourself. Don't do this diet for anyone but yourself! For myself, I have more energy that I've had in years and I feel and look great! I can only wish you the same success that I have had.
• Don't get down on yourself if you only loose 2 - 4 pounds the first week. Look at it from a longevity standpoint, that's 8 - 16 pounds per month eating healthy food! Keep that in mind if you're having a bad week.

In closing, I want you to know that I wasn't asked to write this letter. I would however, like to ask you a favor, please Don't do the diet if you haven't hit rock bottom . You need to be disciplined and focused. It won't work if you don't make some lifestyle changes and it would be unfair to Dr. Kryger to have people running around saying that it doesn't work if there isn't a 100% commitment.

I wish you all the success in the world. The diet does work and you can do it! I have a little saying that I use in business and I feel that it describes loosing size to a "T". Just remember... If It's To Be, It's Up to Me! Good luck and thank you Dr. Kryger!

Dear Dr. Kryger,

Well I have tried your Dr K's Monterey Diet™ on 4 different occasions since July '98. I have lost around 27 to 30 pounds and have kept it off. Currently I weigh anywhere between 221-224 lbs. I have always allowed some time to go by so my body would adjust to the weight change. It has helped me shake some bad eating habits - (prefer not to eat fastfood, drink less beer, less chocalate).

My weight goal over the following year is to reach 185 - 190lb mark but realistically I would be happy to reach the 200lb mark. I hopefully plan to start a exercise program with weights in the next few months. It is a tough thing for me to do because I tried to lift weights before, but it would bore me after awhile.

I must admit though it has become harder and harder to eat the soup. I try to make it in small batches so it stays fresh because once you put in the refrigerator it starts to lose its flavor and appeal. Sure go ahead send me the Practical Guide to Permanent Weight Loss.

Thanks, Ramsey, Oregon

Dr. Kryger responds: Good luck and remember, for EVERYONE, the best way to maintain weight loss when not following a strict diet plan is to eat a hearty breakfast daily (a serving of OATMEAL, or a piece of TOAST with a scant smear of BUTTER, or an EGG, plus 8 ounces of SKIM MILK or PLAIN YOGURT), eat a moderate lunch (a SANDWICH or a LARGE SALAD), and eat a small dinner (SOUP OR SALAD). — Abraham Kryger, DMD, MD Click below to start your program NOW!!
