IMPORTANT STUFF (that often gets lost)

[Kohinoor]

Hi,

I wanted to "catch up" with those REALLY IMPORTANT posts that pop up from time to time, then get "lost" again. You see, we can't make "stickies" of EVERYTHING, otherwise there would be no room for anything else.

So, today, I wanted to start this - and, this first post will record WHICH posts are targetted in following posts. I might even include "some old faves" (e.g. the "falling off the bus" thread, the "Deviation" thread, etc.)

Maybe this can become (into the future) a place to come to find those long-forgotten posts that really should be visible and easily found.


List of "What's on Offer" :-

Post #2 - is Asy's answer to those who are wondering :-

My Meal timing got REALLY stuffed up - what should I do? Do I wait and go to bed at 1:00 am if I've eaten real late?"

Open post #2 (below), click the link, then see Asy's answer in post #2 of THAT thread !! Makes a LOT of sense....

Post #3 - "Why can't we eat these foods?" - e.g. broccoli, cherry tomatoes, pork, etc." SMS makes a succinct observation to an oft-asked question. Find post #3 and click the link.

Post #4 - "A plateau is not a plateau - it's an Integration" - Shanara's thoughts..... makes a lot of sense....

Post #5 - "Physical Changes apart from Weight-loss" - you may have already read it - but, if you haven't, do yourself a favour and click the link in Post #5. This is one of my most favourite threads in this place.


Post #6 - "When should I start Refeed?" Wow, isn't THAT an "Oh, I wish I knew the answer!" kind of question? Well, now you can !! Go to post #6 !!

Post #7 - To exercise, or not to exercise - that is the question !!

Post #8 - How do I stay on Plan when travelling, or when eating out with friends? Shanara provides her thoughts and some useful links.

Don't hibernate when friends invite you to a restaurant, find out HOW to make it work for you - some great comments from Shanara, WSM (a chef), and others - see how it CAN work out !!

Post #9 - Will my skin shrink as I lose weight? Asy has a word or two...

Post #10 - Nibbling food while on Plan - how can I stop this? Two replies from two Cohens graduates provided answers that could turn on quite a few lightbulbs ..... Asy lists "the order in which the body seeks out its energy source" (and those fat stores are LAST in the list!!). Important info to KNOW !!

Post #11 - The importance of REFEED !!

Post #12 - The "You've lost enough" thread - some very interesting input from MANY !! Including some hinting that, in some cases, "You've gained enough" might be a good retort

Post #13 - Weightloss (or cms) slowing down?

Post #14 - EXERCISE - a look at "the big picture" - Asy specifically answers the question "Why not exercise?" (So important, I have included it twice - also in Post #7 - ah well....)

Post #15 - Why don't our meal sizes change as we lose weight?

Post #16 - Why do things seem to "slow down" as we approach goal - and, what can we do about them?

Post #17 - MAINTENANCE - ALL you would ever want to read in one thread. This one covers it all - the traps, the science, the hope, and the success. Required reading for ALL (even if you are "not there" yet).

Post #18 - JUST DO IT !! If other people's words are impacting on YOUR progress, try this one on for size.... Shanara always did have quite a way with words, and all worthwhile.


Post #19 - The ZONE !! What is it? Some try to describe it.... sounds nice !!!

Post #20 - Be SELFISH !! Hehe - yes, you heard me, and I DO mean it. Go to post #20 to read more about WHY we should be....

Post #21 - Motivation - if that is what you are wanting, THIS is the post for you. And see post #25 afterward too....

Post #22 - Mirrors - if they seem to be lying to you, take action !! Go to post #22, click the link, have a good read, then put a smile on your face!!

Post #23 - Emotions - they can lift you up, or they can tear you down !! Are they tearing YOU apart? If so, go check post #23.

Post #24 - Tips for New Members - a very useful post (and a lot of work went into its compilation - thanks to Jlou). So, if you are new, do check out post #24....

Post #25 - Motivational Ideas - having stumbled over this old thread, how could I not include it here???? It is a real gem.

Post #26 - The Three Trimesters of the Cohens Plan. The early, exciting part (trimester#1) leads into "plod, plod, plod" in #2 - but then comes #3 and the excitement comes roaring back again.....

Post #27 - Are you doing Resets correctly when in Maintenance? - it seems there is a "right way" to do a Reset and it also seems there is confusion around it, with different consultants saying different things. Which consultant is right? At least if you know of these different ways, you can check what works for YOUR body when maintaining.

Post #28 - The Importance of Iodine - the title says it all. Too little iodine can lead to binge eating it seems - read about it in post #28 on page 2

PS if there are threads that YOU would love to be able to "find" easily, and would like to see them in posted in here, do reply to the relevant "Sticky" post above (and give me a link if you can).

In here, the ONLY threads you CAN reply to are in the stickies !!
