wow, thanks so much!

this is really insightful.

Yes I'm in Australia, started this a few weeks ago, I would be interested
to know how your friend went, and if she ever wandered off. You would know
how insanely strict it is, it is virtually impossible to eat anything
other than what you have prepared yourself.

Did your friend keep off her weight and do you know how much she lost in
what time? sorry about the questions, it's just that they kind of keep you
away from others on the diet, don't like you talking for some reason,
maybe because you will compare your "exclusive" eating plan and realise it
is identical!

Anyway as you can see, it's working I'll see how I am tracking after my
second months weigh in!

hi again cryss

i cant give you really good details cos i cant remember them perfectly,
however, i know she lost about 15 kgs in 4-5 months. an insanely fast amount
of weight i think. but it worked for her. when you reach maintenance they
phased in the foods you dont have, namely the carbohydrates. she didnt keep
the weight off unfortunately, but that doesnt mean you wont i think what
you can learn from my friend, is that restricting ur calories WILL make you
lose weight. its pure maths. but as soon as you increase the calories, IE go
off cohens, then the weight can add back on. Addressing why you overeat is
crucial for longterm loss. good luck tho. whatever works. way i figure it.
if cohens works for you to get to a lower limit, so you can then easily run
more, be mroe active, and burn more calories easily, then its a huge
success. but one thing i know. going off the diet is where many come
unstuck. so i dunno.. kinda prepare yourself that monitoring is for life. i
wonder why they dont want you to talk to the others. that would do my head
in, i would HAVE to talk to the others to find out why they dont want me to.
plus. the rules .. lol.. i would struggle there. I'd say ta hell with you
buddy, lol. i dont think its exclusively ur individual plan. i think its
just low carb eating. but GREAT loss so far. keep up the good work!! oh and
the way you say its insanely strict. areyou ok with that. cos if it was me.
i would rebel against that. how do you cope with that?
