Questions I asked Brankle include: What is your opinion on fad diets? Are there any good ones? And what are the alternatives to fad diets? She wrote back to me a few days later telling me that she tended to shy away from these types of diets unless they were supported by research and evidence that they not only worked but were also safe to use. He continued his email only to support the research. I had already discovered that a diet that supports drastic and often unhealthy measures to lose weight is not a sustainable or healthy lifestyle. He explained how he advises people on a diet program, he strives to help his patients work on a better lifestyle not just for a few weeks to lose 10 pounds because most of the time, once the diet is over, what which will inevitably happen, the weight comes well
