Has anyone heard about Cohen Lifestyle clinic, I have a question if you have
Hi Guys,
has anyone ever heard of the Cohen Lifestyle clinics and Dr Cohens diet? I've been on the diet for approximately 6 weeks, and have had some great results 11.6kg (21.78lbs) in 4 weeks. I was hoping there might be someone out there with some experience or information on the eating plan. Currntly I'm STARVING at night, I've tried coffee, water, walking ... I can't seem to kick this insane hunger at night. Any suggestions and guys I'd owe you! Cryss Starting 306.9lbs/139.5kg Current 285.1lbs/129.6kg Goal 136.4lbs/62kg |

I have no idea what your current eating plan is but could you save a few of your allowed calories for later in the evening when you're experiencing the extreme hunger? Beverly |

I usually balance my calories so that I have a decent breakfast, which takes me to lunch. I usually have a very light lunch, because I am usually busy during the day and have less time to worry about feeling hungry. Around 3-5 I often get in a snack mood, so I have a few hundred calories of some snacks like rice crackers. For dinner I try to make a large-but-low-calorie big bowl of something. And I make sure to leave 400-500 calories for evening snacking on edamame, fruit and popcorn. So I basically snack a LOT in the evenings, but I still averaged less than 1500 calories/day this past week without feeling hungry. doug |

Thanks Doug,
however it's is a little more difficult than "just EAT". the plan I'm on is really strict, I have a specific allowance of food (I'm saving my biggest allowance for the evening meal), I can have only two pieces of fruit a day (specific types) and I can have 5 Vita Wheats (small wheat based crackers) those I can only have 2 at a time and mustn't eat more than those two in a 2.5 hr period. My main meals of which I have 3 must be 5 hours apart. So although I think in a normal situation your suggestions would get me over my hurdle, I was hoping for some suggestion that didn't include eating, it's more psychological for me, maybe I'm not really hungry (although it feels like it) maybe I'm just craving something to do. Thanks to those who responded, I'll maybe try to eat my bigger meal (bigger by 10grams!!! hold on to your hats I say!) I'll keep reading the threads and see if anyone has an epiphany about managing boredom/hunger. cryss "Doug Lerner" wrote in message ...

Beverly yeah some of the recipes are handy, soemthings you wouldn't think about using to cook with. I kinda eluded to the eating plan in my reply to Doug, it's insanely strict, I don't think I realised until I'd paid my money and gotten my plan how had it was going to be. the strictness removes any chance of me moving calories around (it's a dark science!) I'll keep the group posted as to my progress. thanks again, enjoy the recipes. Cryss |

I know someone who has done cohens, they lost a huge amount of weight, but it required a huge reduction in calories. you must be very committed. I know she had lots of problems with hunger as well. All i can suggest is making up a list of things you can do when ur not hungry, for the times when you re hungry and bored. i think the clue is to do things that are mutually exclusive. Ie something you do which means you cant eat. ring someone on the phone. brush your teeth. Declutter ur house, think of all sorts of activities you can do when you feel the need to eat. most of all. sit down and get a journal and write down why you want to eat. do you feel physically hungry, or are you just bored, and wanting a new taste sensation to occupy your mind. its mind games, you have to sit with ur feelings and work out what it is you really want. and will eating that chocolate biscuit or whatever it is really help you. one thing to write down however specific you have to be, is how you will feel five minutes after eating what you want. the more real you make it in your mind, the more determined you might end up being. good luck t Any suggestions and guys I'd owe you!

hi Beverly,
the hobby sounds like a plan, I walk my dogs but sometimes I just want to relax. the calories on this are really low, some days I don't even get over 1000, and that is with all my allowances, i.e. the 2 pieces of fruit and the 5 crackers. they say no exercise, most likely because you will burn off so much energy and have no food to compensate. I'll keep in touch, thank you for the kind word of encouragement cryss "Beverly" wrote in message ups.com...

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! cryss "tracey" neil4tracey@hotmaildotcom wrote in message ... "Patrick@home" wrote in message ...
