HUH??? You have no clue. You get A LOT more food than a doctor prescribed diet. When I went to the doctor for a plan he handed my a pamphlet for a 1000 calorie diet!!!
They are also the ONLY commercial weight loss program recommended by doctors and proven in clinical trials. In fact if you lose more than 2 lbs two weeks in a row they tell you to eat more food. There is no starvation. They don't go strictly by calories, but rather a points system that factors in fat and fiber as well. The numbers I gave you are a close approximation but not totally accurate. Also, you can eat all of the vegetables you want. They are unlimited. How the heck is that starvation?
Additionally, you get extra points if you exercise that you can eat if you want or not. It is up to you to decide.
