What a scam! What "customized", what metabolism? They put you on a 500-600 calorie per day diet and give you some vitamins to supplement lack of nutrition. Any moron can lose 20 lbs in 40 days on a 500 calorie/day diet. They tell you this bogus junk about oils absorbing thru your skin and make you change soap and cosmetics....A crock if I ever heard one. Sure, if you need somebody pushing you to stick to you 500 calorie per day diet, then go ahead and pay the money. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of BULL. Those who actually believe that there is some "magic" here are truly stupid. read more

Dr. Turovets is great and his program really works. 2 of my co-workers and several of my friends lost over 35lb in 40 days. Months later they are not showing any signs of gaining the weight back. I was reluctant to try the program for a long time but I finally signed up 2 weeks ago. So far I lost 18Lb in a little over 2 weeks and except for the first couple of days I did not even feel hungry. I have plenty of energy and looking forward to looking and feeling even better. read more

I made *And Paid 27.00 for a consultation appointment on-line. At the entrance of 204 Research Dr. Shelton, CT, there was no business sign for NJ Diet or Nuvo, a name i didn't know pulling into the parking lot of this multi-business facility. There was no sign in the building lobby. I took the elevator to the 4th floor and still no elevator. Yes maybe new but don't you think a Sign with your Co., Name is Important to start up for any... type of business? I walk in and a lovely personality lady greats your for "All" the businesses beyond this point. A representative comes out to great me with a clipboard of information she needs before i go in. She was wearing an extremely short cloth poofy skirt - tutu which *barely covered her behind. She was wearing black thick leotards definitely not work appropriate for this business, after all you are going in to get professional advise from medical experts - Right?. My excitement to do something is fading quickly as It's not feeling this way at this point at all especially with all the lawyers and financial offices also within this shared area. I brought in blood work results I had for their review which they ask you to do if you can. I fill out all the paperwork and come to the last page. They ask me to fill out a confidentiality waver. This really makes me very uncomfortable. This is a consultation. My feeling is that when you go into a doctors office or any business at least i have never been asked to sign a confidentially waiver. Some of the request written seemed reasonable but it's threatening at the bottom and they will sue you for damages and attorney fees. I wanted to know what the scope of their business first. I wanted to know how they thought they could help me. I wanted a consult! If this visit is specifically for me based on as advertised: hair, spit, DNA/genetics then how can what I get benefit anyone. I explain to the woman who gave me the chart I want to speak with someone before I sign anything. I am greeted by a naturally hyper or possibly over-caffeinated or short tempered woman who is clearly upset I wouldn't sign the form. She spoke at me at a 100 words per second. Felt like a snake oil or usedcare salesperson. I explain that the waiver states that there is (No Doctor on site) as the doctor they work with has (No License in CT) The waver as states that there are Nuvo Certified Health and Wellness Coaches. I asked where the certification came from - I never got that answer. This representative explained that her original background was in fashion. Gucci and Coach but now she is working closely with this doctor. I ran an array of feeling at this point. All my expectations out the window. How can i trust them at this point? There are *No professionals at this location with medical or nutrition schooling. I was uncomfortable that they'd be calling an out of state doctor for all questions regarding my treatment. There are many Wellness Centers around locally with medical professionals within. I will take my trust elsewhere. Good Luck to any of you willing to try this. read more

Trying NJ diet was the best decision of my life! The diet combined with the supplements are an amazing way to rejuvenate your body and kick start your metabolism after years of poor eating habits. Dr. Arthur and his staff are super helpful and guide you every step of the way through out the 40 days of the diet. They are there to answer any questions via text or email and work with you so that you achieve the results you want. Besides loosing weight this diet helped me with two major conditions I had being experiencing. Due to stress from work and poor eating habits I had developed high blood pressure and high cholesterol. After this diet not only did I loose weight but I no longer need the medicine I was taking for both of those conditions as they are now gone! NJ Diet is just a great detoxification program which helps with weight loss and overall health. It was worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone looking to feel good about themselves and just healthy overall. read more

Initially I thought this was insane. But I had tired everything else and had minimal success so after hearing it from an RN at our nieborhood hospital I decided to give it a try. The first go I lost 38 lbs in 60 days. For the 90days following I decided to hire a personal trainer 3times a week. I lost about 5 more lbs. The key issue is I maintained my weight loss. Felt great and for the first time in years loved taking pictures again. The staff is extremely supportive and family members are yes as previously stated by another reviewer the family shock factor is amazing. I was a patient with Hugh cholesterol and prediabetes. I have opted todo the program for a second time to yes lose more weight but more so to lower my cholesterol even more as well as my a1c level. This is day10 on my second go of the diet and it is fabulous. I weigh in tomorrow and on my scale I have lost more than10 lbs thus far. This is definitely the best programs have ever used simply because not only have I lost the weight but I have the tools to maintain it. That is worth every dime. P.S. I was able to maintain the weight loss during a very trying time. My Mother was passing away during the later portion of my first go on the program. So being able to lose and maintain during such an emotionally trying time as such speaks volumes about the program and its reliability and validity. Again they staff Lori, Kay, and Doc are extremely supportive and willing to support explain and guide throughout the program. They got back to me immediately and had amazing insight and suggestions. read more

This is a stringent and, for me, an expensive diet. At age 72, with my metabolism tanked, I am pleased to say that I lost close to 20 pounds. However, I want to lose more. The diet that I paid for is only 40 days' duration. There is support afterward. I don't know how long that's available, nor have I really asked. I do know that, for the money spent (a HUGE motivator for me), I'm continuing on my own and am confident that I'll lose even more weight. I'm realistic about not regaining my smaller size as a much younger woman. I feel well; my arthritis is less painful than before I began Nuvo; and I truly believe that the new eating habits I've learned are far healthier than my old way of eating. Again, staff is available and is gracious, but more on an as-needed basis than your being urged to come in.... say as often as weekly. I only had two follow up visits after my initial consultations. My final opinion is that ANY SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS RESTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL DIETER'S DETERMINATION. Good luck. read more

Trying NJ diet was the best decision of my life! The diet combined with the supplements are an amazing way to loose weight with out surgical intervention It is now almost one year since i went on this diet and I lost 70lbs. I am able to keep the weight off and I am also cutting down on a whole lot of diabetes medications and insulin. Dr. Arthur and his staff are super helpful and guide you every step of the way through out the 40 days of the diet. They are there to answer any questions via text or email and work with you so that you achieve the results you want. Both my doctors endocrinologist and cardiologist still can not believe the results I was able to accomplish. People that know still can not believe their eye and my results. Went from size 42 pants waist to a size 33. Thank you for helping me change my life around. read more

SCAM!!!!!! After paying for the initial visit I went to my appointment filled out the paperwork sat there for exactly one hour before I was taken into the office for my evaluation. Only to find out that I paid money to have someone try to talk me into joining for more money. so I paid for somebody to try to sell me something, that doesn't seem very ethical. my evaluation consisted of me standing on a scale and information that they told me I could have learned by just going on a free website such as Sparkspeople.com.. they then told me that they were going to give me a list of foods that I could eat or diet plan and I would have to take a special supplement. how would I know what's in that supplement it could end up killing me for all I know that's ridiculous to take something without knowing what it contains, that's very reckless! I'm sure they're going to tell you it's safe but they also charge me money to talk me in to buying something for more money, that doesn't seem very ethical. Not only that after paying for the appointment I was told that I could join it for over a $2,000 payment and it turns out the so-called doctor is a chiropractor. Not a dietitian not a nutritionist not a medical doctor but a chiropractor, my insurance company advised me not to go to a chiropractor for dietary and diet needs and or information. What a scam!!! I find it hard to believe that most of these five star rating are not also part of the scam! read more

I don't normally write reviews about anything, but I absolutely had to write about the NJ Diet. My son started this program back in April, when, as he put it, he thought it was too late to get in shape for summer. It turns out he was wrong. Very wrong! He went on the NJ Diet, and has lost over 82 pounds in just 5months and he looks amazing!!! I have been trying to lose weight, myself, for years, with mixed success, but when I saw this, I knew I had to get on board. My son, who had been on the program for approximately 3 1/2 months at the time was about to start a second round, and I told him I wanted to join him, and am I ever so glad that I did! My weight loss was immediate, and already I am looking fantastic, thanks to Dr. Turovets and his wonderful staff. I used to be a stewardess for Pan Am, and still have the uniform I wore when I was 22; two days ago, I was able to get into it! I am continuing to lose weight, and will keep going until that uniform looks even better on me than it already does, and on this incredibly easy to follow regimen, I know I will get there. And quickly! Even more exciting, my husband, who has been struggling with his weight for even longer than I, is now excited to join both my son and me, and will begin his program in approximately two weeks. He has seen the results for himself, TWICE, and knows this will bring about the change he's dreamed of for so long. I have to say, I was confused by one of the reviews on this page talking about "high pressure" sales pitching and "aggressive business", as this was so completely foreign to my own experience, or my son's for that matter. My husband, though he will not be starting officially for two weeks, has already met with Dr. Turovets, and he, too, had a very low key pleasant experience with the doctor during his consultation; an experienced which matched my son's and my own. I strongly recommend the NJ Diet for all of you, who like me and my family, have struggled for years with weight issues. This will change your life. read more

I did NJ diet with a friend of mine remotely in San Francisco. We both lost over 30 lb and kept it off now for over 1 year. I never felt better, sexier and healthier in my entire life!!!!! I look better now then I did in college!! Both me and my friend are amazed that after years of trying, I finally found something that worked!!!" I would recommend this to everyone looking for the real deal who is serious about loosing weight! read more

Over the years I have tried several diets and lost 30 to 40 pounds each time only to gain it back. I gave up on Diets. A few months ago my doctor hit me with several hard truths related to my health due to my weight issues. On my way home I heard the NJDIET ad on the radio so I thought "this one sounds different" I went online and set up an appointment. The rest is History - Dr. T. and the staff in Clifton are awesome, they walked me through everything and worked with my DNA & blood work results. FINALLY, a diet that works for me using my personal stats. I've lost 41 pounds and all of my health issues are disappearing. I'm finally able to understand how and why I personally gain and lose weight. The information is priceless and with the excercise program that works just for me I'm spending less than half the time I used to spend working out with better results. the information that i have about myself is priceless and truly a road map to not only looking better but feeling great and with higher energy. NJDIET works if you follow the program and worth every penny! read more

NJ Diet - 41 LBS, no gimmicks just doing whats right for my DNA map, I wore the same clothes (except the pants) to show how it really worked. - Nutritionists Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Stay away!!! Complete scam. You will gain the weight back immediately after the 40 days. Astronomical costs, go to Jenny Craig at least you will actually be eating and losing weight the way you should. read more

Dr Turvonet read by plea for help and met with me last Tuesday. He will work with me and I will be continuing.

I completed the entire diet AND lost 43 pounds, yet I can honestly say that this diet is a complete scam. I have been dieting all my life so I'm no stranger to diets. However, I was intrigued about this diet specifically because I heard in their radio ads that the diet is tailored to my specific DNA and saliva sample results. This conjures images of , using myself as an example, as a young male 27 years old weighing 290 pounds with average cholesterol, they would allow me to eat differently than if my wife were to sign up for the NJ Diet, who is 24 and weighs 125 pounds. I tried calling them on the phone to inquire what the diet is or how much it costs , but they would only tell me that I need to have a consultation. That was a red flag for me. So I put it out of my mind for 8 months. Eventually I had gained so much weight, I decided that I have to lose 40 pounds so badly, that I'm going to NJ Diet, and regardless of what I have to do or how much it costs I was going to sign up and lose 40 pounds, with a money back guarantee. Well, after the initial consulting , weigh in , they handed me a pre-printed guide as my instruction. I asked them "Hey am I not considered quite heavy? Wouldn't I have a higher daily calorie allowance? Doesn't my body need higher amount of calories to function. Also isn't this like you know , a personalized diet and all? " Response: "No. The calories in the diet phase is the same for everyone. It's the maintenance phase where the personalization test starts to make a difference. The results of the test arrive later on, but the diet starts today." Meaning, after losing as much weight as needed, which could be more than one round of 40 days , only than are we going to look at your makeup and tendencies. But until then we'll treat you like anybody else. 400 to 500 calories per day (!) . Now, that is exactly NOT how they advertise. This is a direct quote from their website: "Using hair, saliva, and bloodwork samples along with our proprietary bio energetic balancing scans - we personalize natural solutions and supplements for every individual. The program includes full supervision by nutritionally certified personnel. Helping every patient attain their weight and health goals through bio energetic testing, bloodwork assessment and DNA testing. Supervised by nutritionally certified personnel." So.. technically... maintenance is a part of the goal, so the DNA testing is needed for the goal. However , a very important part of the goal is the losing weight part! I would even maintain that the execution of this goal is why they are in business. And this tremendous and central part of the goal has nothing to do with the DNA testing and personal test results. This is very misleading and frustrating to figure out. To their credit , they let you know all this before you pay the $1800 (although they tell you that the diet price ranges per person, in truth to do the diet phase and the maintenance phase, it will cost you the same. It's just a matter of how many cycles you want to do, or if you want to skip the weight loss phase altogether and just do the tests and/or maintenance, then it's the $1000 price.) Also to their credit, based on my water content which is found from the "special" scale (many bathroom scales have body content information feature also) , they tell you to drink more water or drink less water, usually to drink more. Now, although I did lose 43 pounds, it had almost nothing to do with NJ Diet's diet. One who eats 400 to 500 calories for 40 days will certainly lose lots of weight. They will also lose much of the color of their face which happened to me as well when my face got a greenish like complexion. The only reason why i stuck to the harsh starving is because if I paid so much money, I wasn't going to back out. And wouldn't you know it, after the 40 days of starving were over , I gained back all the weight back - including interest! - in about 5 months. Their misleading advertising and lack of transparency prior to the consultation are a part of their ploy to prey on the many obese Americans residing in the Northeast, causing us to pay a high price to force ourselves to starve. One thing is clear - this diet is nothing more than a starvation diet, where 285 pound men starve the same way 125 pound women do. read more

Very good diet if you stick to it. It's very calorie restrictive BUT you are not hungry at all. I would definitely recommend this diet if you can be strict with yourself and NOT eat when you're NOT hungry. It's all mental. But the good thing is after the first 2 days I've had no cravings. Key for me also is keeping busy. I'm 21 days into 40 days and I've lost 17 pounds so far. read more

I followed the program exactly as it was presented to me. I lost 40 pounds and have kept it off for a few weeks now. I feel better, look better and am much more active. Spend the money, you're worth it. read more

Upon getting NO response to my letter, i called NJDiet and they sent info i was seeking. the person on the phone was very nice. After my 40 days of NJ diet ended, i continued with some supplements i bought on amazon and a low cal/carb/fat approach and i am still losing weight! why did this diet work for me? i am not sure. but one sort of amusing factor was the large fee.l i paid. that really irritated me, but also motivated me. essentially i said to myself :" you just paid a lot of money. don't waste that money and make it work. ". so i did. i was really committed from day 1. by two weeks in and some good weight loss i felt like i had now invested my time and effort. that personal investment plus the money motivated me to get to 40 days. so all good, but i do not understand why NJdiet. is so aloof and not friendly or supportive at all. read more

Tried Many - This is the best Two years ago I started with the NJ Diet Program and lost a lot of weight and happy to report that It has stayed off. The program was easy to follow and if you are committed - it will work. If you waiver or are not committed - nothing will work. The great thing is I was never hungry and the 40 days went by so fast. Many of my friends tried the program because of me and their results were just as good. It is not just a diet but you have to know it is a lifestyle adjustment especially at the end. Follow the rules and program - it will work for you. My goal was to lose the weight fast and maintain it. IT WORKS!!! Alex read more

I did the NJ diet last year and I will say it is a little pricey at $1600 but it's worth it. Although I must say it is ALOT of work it's almost like a job to keep on time with your supplements and the water with the powder you have to drink before a certain time but as I said before the results will amaze you IF you are consistent. Now the only thing I had an issue with is that it requires you to use certain types of toothpaste , body wash, makeup (they give you a whole list) BUT as I was a makeup artist that part was kind of tricky to me because I didn't like the makeup products on the list and most of them were a little pricey. Overall I would say if you want a jump start to weight loss this is a good deal but you really have to maintain it after because if not then your money will have just been a waste. Personally I did loose 20 lbs BUT I will not sugar coat anything by saying it was easy because it was a CHALLENGE but well worth it. Before you commit to this make sure you like the menu choices in the food journal and be mentally prepared to kind of give up a social life for 40 days because although you can go out to eat and order a certain way it's honestly not even worth going out because who knows what the restaurants put in your food even when you order it with no oils/sauces. The calories are VERY restrictive and you don't need to work out (if you want they say you can but lightly) , without working out I was loosing a lb a day because of the small amount of calories. The first few days were hard but once you see the results it gets addicting so you wouldn't even want to cheat. To satisfy my sweet tooth I used to drink coffee with stevia and even blend that with ice to make it feel like a frappachino minus the milk but it tricks your mind. And if you cheat you're only cheating yourself and your wallet. The hardest part of it all I think is the maintaince because once you are allowed certain foods and oils such as coconut oil back in your diet you have to be VERY careful not to over do it . During the diet you are eating very simple and plain meals (they give you menu ideas) I would say you can eat 2-3x a day depending on how you choose to break your meals up (you'll see how you can break down your meals when you get your food journal) but sometimes I mixed in fruits with my protein so I couldn't have that extra snack. And lastly ... DO NOT give into temptation because while your friends are outside having a BBQ and drinking beers you have to be mentally strong and sit there eating your chicken and cucumbers BUT as I said you will be amazed . Oh and if you cheat like even if you eat a couple chips it WILL reflect on your progress (it happened to me) I thought a few chips wouldn't matter but the next morning I totally regretted it ... so CLEAR your kitchen of basically everything and stick to the plan. I'm thinking about doing it again , but I wish they gave student discounts LOL . Hope this helps ! Pros: it works, you'll be happy at the end, straight forward instructions Cons: PRICE .. I don't know if it's worth the price to be honest especially since you sort of "suffer"), CHANGING your toothpaste/body wash/lotion/makeup (I guess it's not a big deal but it's annoying), IT'S HARD (you will get the results but you might starve , no wait you WILL starve), Semi give up a social life even though they give you an "eating out" guide you can't trust what the restaurants put in your food, consultation is VERY pushy because they say "if you sign up now you will pay ____ , so you kind of have to make a decision on the spot I personally didn't like that but I guess you know how sales go , and if you say "I have to think about it" I feel like they think "well you are 230 lbs what is there to say no about" (I wasn't 230 not even close but just using that as an example) read more

At 6 feet tall and 56 years old I weighed in at 306 pounds. I was seeing my general practitioner regularly and was preparing for lap band surgery. I heard about NJ Diet on the radio and decided to make one final attempt at a diet and lifestyle change before moving forward with the surgery. I'm glad I did. I signed up for the program at the beginning of May and received my review, weight loss formula, supplements, pink salt, diet plan and recipe books. For the next 40 days I religiously followed the plan and the results were nothing short of amazing. I was doing so well that I opted to extend the program an additional 20 days. Here are some numbers from my weigh ins: 05/09/16 (Actually began dieting on 5/15) WEIGHT: 305.4 BMI: 41.4 BODY FAT: 36.0% BODY FAT MASS: 110.0 VISCERAL FAT: 23 BODY WATER : 46.2% METABOLIC AGE: 88.0 05/31/16 (Day 16) WEIGHT: 272.8 BMI: 37 BODY FAT: 33.8% BODY FAT MASS: 92.2 VISCERAL FAT: 20 BODY WATER : 47.1% METABOLIC AGE: 82.0 06/14/16 (Day 30) WEIGHT: 255.8 BMI: 34.7 BODY FAT: 29.3% BODY FAT MASS: 75.0 VISCERAL FAT: 17 BODY WATER : 49.2% METABOLIC AGE: 64.0 06/28/16 (Day 44) WEIGHT: 241.2 BMI: 32.7 BODY FAT: 26.8% BODY FAT MASS: 64.6 VISCERAL FAT: 15 BODY WATER : 50.5% METABOLIC AGE: 56.0 07/12/16 (Day 59) WEIGHT: 230.8 BMI: 31.3 BODY FAT: 24.2% BODY FAT MASS: 55.8 VISCERAL FAT: 13 BODY WATER : 52.2% METABOLIC AGE: 47.0 I lost 2 more pounds on Day 60. I now weigh 228 lbs. 60 Days, 78 pounds. Here's some results from blood work done one year ago, and recently: 06/15/15 GLUCOSE: 122 (Pre-Diabetic) CHOLESTEROL: 208 TRIGLYCERIDES: 171 BLOOD PRESSURE: 145/93 06/17/16 GLUCOSE: 87 CHOLESTEROL: 130 TRIGLYCERIDES: 63 BLOOD PRESSURE: 115/73 I was suffering from Metatarsalgia and Meralgia Paresthetica, both are foot and leg related ailments brought on by my excessive weight. The former is completely gone, the latter is hardly noticeable. I'm also scheduling an appointment with my pulmonologist to see if I still need to sleep with my CPAP machine. I'm hoping I can get rid of that soon too. Family and co-workers were amazed at my progress, and some people who I hadn't seen in a short while sometimes didn't recognize me. Then of course there were the naysayers who told me that it wasn't healthy to lose weight this fast, but you know what's really unhealthy? Being 306 pounds, pre-diabetic with cholesterol and blood pressure going through the roof. I am in no way affiliated with NJ Diet and what I've written is the 100% truth and without exaggeration. This program works, and works incredibly fast. Just commit to it, follow the program to the letter and your weight will drop. I sincerely hope that this review will encourage others who feel resigned to suffering being overweight, unhealthy and depressed, to give NJ Diet a shot. This program will change your life. UPDATED 08/08/16 (Day 83) I went for my final weigh in, here are the latest numbers: WEIGHT: 228.2 BMI: 31.5 BODY FAT: 20.8% BODY FAT MASS: 48.2 VISCERAL FAT: 12 BODY WATER : 55.4% METABOLIC AGE: 35.0 Tested my BP at a Rite Aid at the Jersey shore; 97/63! read more

here is a a profile my 40 day journey; I weigh 246 and have spent 10X losing the same 10-15. Sad to say, knowing how much I had to lose, i lost all motivation. A co-worker's wife just went through this diet and had lost 20 lbs (she went from 135 to 115; now down to 105). I just pictured how much my life would change if I lost 30 (if she can lose 20 at 135 lbs, I should easily be able to lose 30 lbs starting at 246, right?) Here we go: Day 1 (246) Day 5 (240) I am down 6LBS in 5 days at 240. Water weight? Who cares? I am beyond motivated Day 8 (236) 7 Days finished; Down to 236 (loss of 10lbs); obviously I am very motivated to continue this. Weekends are really tough though as you are either surrounded by food or alcohol. I also started tracking my body fat which is 37% today. Day 11 (233) 37% Happy Thanks Giving. Day 14 (231.5) 36.8% (Nov 28) If i stopped now, I would be happy. I have lost ~15lbs in 13 days. I pledge to Yelp to be down to 210 by the time I finish this. Day 15 (231) 2 weeks completed- less than 26 days to go. Day 22 (225.8) 35.8% less than 20 days left. people are now noticing my weight loss. 20 lbs is a lot to ignore even during the winter months. I except the weight loss to slow down a little but hope I can still manage to get to 210. Day 23 (225.8) First Plateau day; they said this might happen; One of the options is to eat 7-8 apples and nothing else; that's what I am doing. Not happy about losing the momentum. Day 24 (224) Close call but glad the plateau remedy worked. Day 28 (222) Ok, the weight loss has slowed; Now only averaging .5 a day vs 1lb before. Not sure what to do; will call the Dr. to see what to do Day 41 (214) 32.7% WOW - 32 LBS; Everyone wants to know how I did it... My new goal is 190. I see a 2nd round in my future in 1 month. Best Christmas Present I could have given myself - I owe Nuvo Diet so MUCH read more

What a joke. You wait for 30 minutes then get a recited monologue. Weighed and then given the speech. Immediately after is the sales pitch of how much the plan is and discounts if you pay immediately. I've noticed that all the reviews are good. Not too many negatives. Be wary people of these guys. Then if you don't lose the weight your given a "pro-rated" refund. Really?????? Don't waste your time and for sure your money. read more

NJ Diet - Great great program works - Nutritionists Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

See all

I must say this is one of the most legit weight loss programs I've ever been on. I've spent the better part of my later 20's trying to lose weight and look great. I would kill myself in the gym everyday to only lose 2lbs a week, which is good but not enough. When I discovered NJ Diet I was a bit skeptical because how is it possible to lose all that weight in a short amount of time. The staff and Dr.T are absolutely amazing. They explained the program in detail and made me feel comfortable about the journey I was going to embark on.Their attention and support to your 40 day process is what makes this such a wonderful program. I lost 25lbs in 40 days. I feel confident and great about myself! Thank you NJ Diet! read more

For 27 bucks - it's not worth the visit. This diet is the HCG diet. You can do with doctor supervision via telemed with the same RX supplements for a lot less $347. This clinic is super expensive and if you have the cash to burn $2000 dollars to get started. go for it. However what this clinic DOES NOT tell you is it will cost you THOUSANDS to get to your ideal weight! It can take up to 3 or 4 cycles to get to your ideal weight depending on how much you have to lose. There are a lot better weight loss clinics that charge you far far less and are upfront with you what involved.... read more

I signed up and got NO support short of a few emails to answer my questions about why i was soooo tired, felt sick to my stomach from the drops and supplements, and had to answer stupid questions about products i was using when these were real symptoms. I wrote several emails but I could readily tell that I was just a number $$ and that the goal is to sign up as many people as possible and then punt! To give people as little support as possible so that the cost to them is minimal while they are charging 2k/person. read more

My doctor was grim faced as she read the result of my blood work to me during my last physical exam in 2013. She cautioned me that the numbers of my blood work was a concern. I was told that if I cannot get my weight gain under control, then the only option was medication to help my body deal with high blood pressure, cholesterol as well as other health issues that come with weight gain. That was when I started my search for a weight loss plan that I can live with. I didn't want to deal with ongoing packaged meals, meetings, surgeries, shots, hormones or pills. NJ Diet appeared to be all that. The first week of the diet was a challenge. I didn't think I can adjust and change 20 years of bad eating habits overnight. Somehow, I did. Cheating crossed my mind many times but recalling my doctor's words of about health problems and medication brought me back to reality and kept me on track. 40 days later, I was 22 lbs. Lighter. I made an appointment for to see my own doctor again and also to get her opinion. When I stepped into the doctor's office, her eyes lit up immediately. Then her smile grew wider as she read the result of my blood work. I shared the NJ Diet method with her. I told her that I learned about what food to eat, portions, what not to eat and the best way to prepare my meals. The fact that Dr. Turovets and his team were always available by email, phone or text message, 7 days a week during my diet period was extremely helpful. My doctor encouraged me to continue on till I reach my goal. I am on now on round two and less than 10 lbs. away from my goal weight. read more

I recently visited one of their clinics and met a Dr. Turovets ("Dr. T") and my gut told me he was a quack. Still, I was eager to discover if there was any truth to his methods and intrigued by his reported use of DNA and customization of programs that would among other things normalize my hormones. I am a 52 year old woman and have noticed its harder to lose weight due to hormones changing. At the free consultation I was weighed on a body composition scale and shown a colorful printout by the good doctor who explained my results indicated that I have the metabolism of a 64 year old and am 'clinically obese'. HOGWASH. I work out 3 days a week and am more fit than most of my friends and neighbors. I would only want to lose 10-15 lbs max and was looking for help after entering peri-menopause. Further I was told I was 'clinically obese'. As the daughter of two physicians (Medical Doctors), I know about a bit about obesity from learning about it from them, and there is no way I fit the clinical criteria. I started to suspect 'fear tactics' at play in his sales pitch for his program. Further afterwards, on purchasing my own body comp scale the results indicated that I was well within normal range for all markers, with lower than average body fat 22% (not the 39.5% reported by Dr T using his scale). I did some additional research as I had begun to suspect that the doctor was also 'doctoring' his web-image and found this link https://www.quora.com/Is-Nuvo-Fat-Loss-formerly-NJ-Diet-legit on Quora, a must read if you are planning on trying this program out. Also, turns out 'Dr.' T a chiropractor (not a medical doctor or MD) and therefore seems to me hardly qualified to run a weight loss program. Further, I noticed at the consultation, that his scale was perched on a flat piece of wood just larger than the bottom of the scale, which sat atop the office carpet. Reading about these scales it's clear they only work if they are on a flat surface unimpeded by any other substrate, and that either way the software varies from scale to scale and readings can be misleading. That day I was so upset about what he had said and decided to research more. I found no scientific study that backs up his program by any reputable authority and I also found Mr. Henderson's note on Quora and read the info in its links to additional info about previous incarnations of this program under different names. Always be skeptical about a firm that changes its name for now apparent reason! I believe the reason his clients lose so much weight fast is the extremely low-carb diet he puts them on, which is neither healthy nor reasonable to expect someone to adhere to long-term. Scientifically though this well known diet is based on legitimate facts, that the body burns the following for energy in this order, carbohydrates-fat-protein, and if you significantly limit your carbs your body will then burn its own body fat before burning protein (or muscle), it is not practical for long term healthy weight loss and maintenance. 'Dr. T's' program is alas, just another adaptation of the low-carb diet we all know so well. Ultimately you will put the weight back on unless you change your diet and exercise habits to achieve healthy long term results. Obesity is big business. Don't be fooled. Do NOT fall prey to this phony program that feeds on the fears and insecurities of folks who have struggled with their weight (most of us!), and women especially who are going through peri-menopause or menopause and experience other natural hormonal changes caused by aging that may effect weight but can be counter-acted by exercise and good nutrition. Instead seek the help of a competent nutritionist and and experienced personal trainer. Read more here: https://www.quora.com/anonymous/8d86925c45714e70b0e4ff71d4608546 read more

Most people think of diets as two lists - foods you can eat and (the much longer list) foods you can never eat. Successful, meaningful weight loss should be a lifelong ambition for myriad reasons. NJ Diet was the port in a storm for me. Yes, I have tried other plans including the pre-packaged food plans which did lead to (temporary) weight loss. I exercise daily. I chose, what I thought was "good" food. Eating well and exercise was just not really working for me. At 57, I was tired, was suffering from aches and pains in my feet, knees, lower back. Sleeping more - needing naps. I had to do something different and something meaningful. I did not see myself surrendering to the trappings of middle/old age at such a young age. My husband had heard some really interesting stories about the NJ Diet which compelled him to suggest I look into it. I made the call in late April 2020 - yes smack dab in the middle of the pandemic lockdowns. I could not stand thinking of gaining weight for Spring/Summer being locked indoors. I embarked on the journey with both optimism and excitement. This program looked comprehensive and different than anything I have tried or even have witnessed. Within days of starting, I immediately noticed a substantial increase in energy and a lack of pain in my joints. I was hooked from the start. I not only was eating differently, I learned to cook new meals, and learned to enjoy more diverse fruits and vegetables. The weight began to slip off and my energy was soaring. I felt younger, more alive than I had in over a decade. By middle August, I was down 40lbs. I hit my goal and then some. It was easy, I was never hungry and I felt fabulous. Not even discussing how I dropped from a size 14 to a size 8. I sleep better, enjoy my work and hobbies far more. Foods still are delicious and I am learning new exciting, delicious recipes. What drove me to write this review is looking back on Decembers past. We all know the holidays can be a very challenging time for those trying to lose weight. Well, I made it from Thanksgiving (where we ate at a friend's house) to Christmas and even New Year's Eve (big party) without gaining a pound. I did not suffer. I was never deprived. I enjoyed some of the more decadent foods (in moderation) and felt like I had control. I am thinking of pushing forward and trying to drop an extra 5lbs. Why not? I have the tools, I have the successes to motivate me and the amazing staff at NJ Diet to help guide me and support me, and a huge virtual hug to Dr. T. Thanks for everything, the program is excellent and the responses I get from the staff is without comparison. read more

Started this program April 2016 lost 38.5 lbs in 40 days. I definitely say this diet works. Have to stick to it to maintain your weight. read more

Advertisements lead you (deceptively) to believe you will receive an initial body scan- even their ad states "we will use our medical body analysis scan to pre-test your current condition" LIARS, they use a scale to weigh you and provide generic markers. In addition, they are NOT STAFFED by MD's. Fraudulent and misleading to say the least- whether the program works- I don't know- THEY LIE AND MISLED FROM THE START. BUYER BEWARE - They want your $1900 right from the get go. read more

I started the NJDiet, 18 days ago at the White Plains, NY office. After my cardiologist warned me that I need to lose weight or my future is bleak, I joined Weight Watchers. After 3 months and a lose of 5 lbs I recently decided to try NJDiet. The process is scientific, professional, safe and natural and I'm happy to report that in 18 days, I lost 19 lbs. My goal is lose around 35 lbs. The cleanse/diet is easy but you must stick to it and not cheat. So nearly halfway through my diet, I'm on track to get to my goal weight. Want to thank Kirsten at NJDiet and Steve K from Long Island for their continued support. Another thing, they are available and will get back to you. I'm at a point where I don't eat when I'm feeling full. To get through the diet because I never met a meal I didn't like, I look to the future when I'll look and feel better. Also looking forward to getting rid of my meds for cholesterol and blood pressure. Thank you Dr. T. read more

I've read some of the reviews and wanted to add my experience. I started the diet in spring 2015 at the Clifton, NJ location. I have since gradually gained weight back but that's on me, not NJ Diet. There is a bit of a hustle aspect to the operation. A customer can get lost in the shuffle once you start the program. Keep in mind you are no longer a money-maker for them because they live off the program fee(s) and are constantly trying to sell to new customers and the more they sell the staff is spread thin. As the operation grows it is challenging to not to have that happen. Anyway, don't expect close monitoring by the staff. I found making weigh-in appointments to be difficult at times due to volume and the staff hustles you in and out once you are enrolled. Seemed distracted most of the time on my visits. I went to 2 appointments and nobody ever called me to say lets do an exit or final appointment and check where you are at with your weight goal(s). Its very much on the customer to be engaged and help themselves ... so to speak. That was my experience anyway. The body analysis proved to be useless if you ask me. That's just the come-on and part of the pitch. I don't recall the staff even mentioning it after initially getting on the scale. As far as I can tell, they give the same drops/booklets/supplements to everyone. As stated by others, there is a 10 min group intro and then a one-on-one discussion with Dr T, who does "the close" with prospective clients. Hey, they are looking to sign you up and getting the $1700. Its a business and that's how they stay in business. Nothing wrong with that. It a very restricted diet, around the 400-500 calories per day. Once your body goes into ketosis then your natural hormones take over. My diet mainly consisted of fish, fruits ... like strawberries, apples and blueberries and a single veggie with each setting. Its very true, I didn't feel hungry most of the time and in fact had to remember to eat to meet my daily caloric intake some days. It does get boring, but that comes down to motivation. Do you want to lose the weight or not? It felt great to drop the weight ... I think I lost 18-22 pounds or something close to it. Bottom line, like most diet programs it works if you follow the instructions. I was right in that 20-pound minimum guarantee area. My interaction with the staff just sort of fizzled out with no follow-up ever on their part. Never heard from anyone. I called them and inquired about continuing the program because I wasn't sure if I had met the 20-pound guarantee but quickly got the brush-off. Again, looking for that $1700 fee. I get it. I was thinking of going back to NJ Diet but I'm uncertain if I will repeat. It really comes down to self-motivation. If you are not serious about losing weight then forget it. You probably won't be able to follow the program. SUMMARY: It works if you follow the program. Staff support is so-so. Follow-up was non-existent. read more

I went to see these people but almost two thousand dollars for a diet is way too much. I'm sure it's to pay for all their advertising. In response to the "doctor's" reply, the quote to be exact was Nineteen Hundred Dollars and not any less!!! There were no saliva or hair tests only some sort of scale weigh in when this price was quoted. BTW, these people are chiropractors, not MD's. read more

I don't recommend this to anyone! They could of just tell you to stay off the carbs and don't drink alcohol instead of taking the $2500.00 and giving me a one page analysts. Their food restrictions are vague and they send different bottles without any explanation. The "non-hormone" droplet caused my blood pressure to go up when I always had moderate to low blood pressure. The booklet they give you Isn't designed for you specifically as the sell . It's generic for everyone. The people there talk so fast they know the script by memory. I did lose weight but without a "doctors supervision" they never call to check how you are doing. So for everyone thinking about it just cut down on carbs (one day a week so your body doesn't crash) get a food scale and eat plenty of vegetables (without the coconut oil - yuk) and walk at least 30 minutes a day. read more

Earlier this year, my wife had told me about a diet program that she heard on the radio....NJ Diet. We had both been struggling with our weight for years. We finally got to a point where we were feeling like crap all the time. Living on fast food and the like was the norm. I had reached the heaviest weight of my life...280 lbs!! So we both made the leap of faith to try NJ Diet. Since the end of April, I've lost 74 lbs!!!! My wife has done amazingly too!! I was apprehensive before starting but following the program, I have to say, it REALLY WORKS!!! I've gone down 7 belt notches and most of all, I feel better and healthier than I have in years! You can't put a price on your health!!!! read more

NJ diet was exactly what I needed when I needed it. Morbidly obese and desperate I made the call. From the very beginning the team was committed to my getting the most of the program. They fully explained the process and what I should expect. Kristin was fantastic responding to texts after 11 pm and patiently guiding me through the initial steps. Today is day 59 and I weighed in 74 pound lighter then that desperate day in July. I've regain my confidence my clothing fits my stamina and self esteem have returned. Entering into the next phase and hope to continue experiencing my transformation and the fantastic support of the folks at NJ Diet. THANK YOU!!!! read more

I have to say that I was skeptical about a diet that made such big promises without the need to exercise in order to achieve desired results. But boy, I'm I glad I did it!! This diet changed my life!! I went from 246 pounds to 188 pounds. My overall health is great now. Dr. Turovets was readily available offering support to my many questions. I have been maintaining my goal weight for over a month now while enjoying all the food I love to eat. Thank you NJ DIET!!! read more
