Actually ... the other one with the diet clinics in Canada is Stanley Bernstein. He goes by "Dr B". The diet is extremely low calorie (like 600/day) and virtually fat-free. Carbs are lowish, but still make up over 50% of calories. The diet requires vitamins to be injected because the lack of dietary fat prevents adequate absorption from the gut.

Some have called it a medically supervised eating disorder
