Skinny Chic - Soon2BSlim's Diary

[Kohinoor]

Hi S2BS,
Good to have a downward reading - but some weeks just aren't "loss weeks". Have you re-found AJ's famous weightloss spreadsheet? It shows very clearly that, in some weeks, she GAINED weight - BUT, those weeks were followed by massive drops that brought the graph back down to a very steady downward trend-line.

Check in "Koh's Classics" - or in AZ's diary (I referred her to it back about 3 week's ago).

As you said, you maybe need a new Plan - life changes us, and, as we age, Cohen does allow a bit more food than younger people. I recall AJ getting 6 or 7 crackers a day instead of the usual 5. Maybe SMS too? So, you are now some years older than when you first started..... Hmmm...

Probably not you, but there are some who "try to speed things up" on Cohens by cutting out or down on their Plan foods.....

I say don't do that - Cohens IS the fast way, but we need every last bite of the foods dictated. Some might get "caught out" getting a meal into them on time (life happens) and they get home too late for the "no food after 9pm rule". EAT ANYWAY !!!

Asy says there is a triage - and the top line (highest priority of all) is
"EAT all of your food as directed".

Lower lines say "No food after 9pm" and "wait 2 hours before sleeping" but these are both LOWER priority so, if it is 11pm, and you haven't eaten, then EAT your meal and, if really tired, go straight to bed!! Don't wait 2 hours or you'll stuff up tomorrow's breakfast too by sleeping in.

Other things (as a reminder) are to double-check your amounts, and your food types - no grated cheeses, be careful with currys, yoghurts, etc. You know - all of that stuff. If you are hungry through the day, eat meals 2 and 3 for breakfast and lunch, then have your meal 1 ahead of bedtime. Snuggle up warm and get an early night on a (nearly)empty tummy and who knows how quick Mr HGH will get active?

Good luck for next week - stay happy, dfree, and do check your PM's
