To Cohen or not to Cohen???

[bobsy]

Hi everyone,

I saw someone in Slimming and Health Magazine who had lost a whopping 93kg on the Cohen program and thought I had better look into this the only diet I haven't heard of.

In 2006 I lost 47kg on Optifast and felt fantastic. I also had alot of things going on at the time including marriage breakup etc and I have put it all back on.

I have tried so many times to go on the shakes again but I can't do it for some reason.

After spending the last 2 days on the internet looking into the Cohen diet, I rang up today and am going to an information session tomorrow morning.

I am just wanting to find out people's thoughts. I know you are all very kind and honest so I would appreciate your true opinions. I am so scared of failing again but am very sad at how I feel about myself at the moment. Let's face it, I would love to stick it in ex hubby's face by looking fantastic, I admit it!!

Anyway, I have seen so many of you have had such amazing results. How does this diet compare to other's you have done? I have wasted so much money on other diets I don't want this to be some impossible dream. Is it really possible to maintain the loss after the refeeding? I have seen others quote a lower cost for the program but here in Victoria at the Nunawading centre they say it is $750 which is a huge amount for a single Mum of 3 boys that eat and eat and eat and eat..........

I hope you get the idea of what I'm asking. I have had it on my mind all day but find it hard to put into words. I can't get my mind off my weight these days and my confidence has hit rock bottom. I know I need to do something and it would be great to get great results like you have all had. Is is really possible to lose quicker safely? I know there's alot of weighing food involved but is it easy enough to get organised for? I also know there are 3 meals daily, are there any snacks involved? I haven't heard much about the actual food people can have, because everyone is different I guess.

Anyway, I have babbled enough!! I look forward to some helpful advice.

PS You are all amazing and kind people by what I have read over the last couple of days.
