That is an interesting thought. I had thought that the uplifting feeling from the weight-loss would encourage you to keep it off.

The 'doctors' at this company do not make it any safer to lose 20 pounds a month. Doctors are the ones who set the two pounds per week guideline.
The uplifting feeling you may get from losing lots of weight very quickly will not keep the weight off and will not mean that you are healthy. It's not as much a psychological problem as it is physical. There is a lot of evidence to support this. I do have links for studies.
That said, do not spend your money on this. I'm sorry but that website screams bad news to me. I guarantee you it will be a waste of money in the long term, you may even worsen her health or yours.
If your wife wants to get healthy and you want to help then you should do it together. Get a gym membership and a trainer if you can, get a nutritionist or invest in books that are not about fad diets or exercise programs. I will be happy to recommend books, websites and other resources if you'd like.
I repeat, do not spend your money on this company. I don't want to lengthen my essay by listing everything about this website that bothers me, it's a long list.
