I couldn't find my previous topic on Cohen Lifestyle Clinique so I guess I'd just start another one.
An update - I started on the Cohen program on 19 Feb 2006. It's been around 5 weeks, and I have lost 11kg to date. It's amazing! The consultants at Cohen's target a weightloss of 1.5kg per week, and I have to complete the program within a year (contract period).
Pros and Cons:
Pros
- Rapid Weightloss (11 kg in 5 weeks)
- No Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- More energy, better skin, etc
Cons
- Weigh the EXACT amount of veges, meat, yoghurt (very precise)
- Not a wide a range of food - no pork, salmon, duck, etc
- Once you "break" for a meal, weightloss slows down by 1 week (most upsetting for me).
It's a very strict program but I can certainly see the changes. However, I do not think I can abide 100% when I am stressed.
Work is very stressful but I definitely cope well. However, I will taking my CFA L2 in June, and whenever I study, I have immense craving for crisps/fried stuff. It's killing me. It's a Sunday today, and I feel I dragged myself through the weekend (intense studying).
Anyone on the program would like to share their experiences? I know 2 girls who are on it, and we kept in contact via email. Anyone else?
