Can the Palm Beach Diet Help You Melt the Pounds?

Science over willpower to win the battle of the bulge?

From the South Beach Diet, to Atkins, to The Zone, there are hundreds of diet plans out there.
Now there's a new diet plan that comes straight from our backyard. It's called Advanta MD out of Palm Beach Gardens.
The program is being dubbed "science over willpower" and one client brags that she lost 13 pounds in her first month.
The diet prides itself on being high protien, low carb, and low fat that supporters said results in rapid weight loss.
Dr. Jack Halickman from Advanta MD said "when patients are on this diet they burn fat and they will lose more in inches per pound than they would with their normal diet."
Doctors at Advanta said they monitor patients to make sure they're losing fat and not muscle.
The program and menu are custom-designed for each patient.
Clients pick their food up at the Palm Beach Gardens office when they go in to see the doctor.
But penny pinchers listen up - This program isn't cheap.
Fees run between $1,000 and $2500.
