@mamasqueak and @achengtarush, thanks for the info regarding vitamin supplements. Right now, I'm just taking Centrum and fish oil. I think I would need to take additional vitamins as I go along the program. Chromium especially. Right now, the sugar cravings have not yet manifested but with my sweet tooth I'm sure they will kick in soon enough!

@princess_karryl, if you're gonna attend a session in Manila, I suggest you book na now. They can only accomodate a small number of people per session so limited slots. When I called them up last July, they were able to give me a slot 3 weeks later pa. Good thing someone cancelled at the last minute so I was able to attend an earlier session.

[mama squeak!]

Hi Amberstar! I need to lose a LOOOT! As in 80 pounds. I actually called the office kanina to follow up if they got the blood work results i sent. Sana I get the diet soon as I really want to start it asap na but yes kinda dreading it also. Haha.

Are you from Manila? How long have you been on it? Thank you so much for the boost of confidence... you'll be my Cohen pal

@cuishygirl, good luck! it's not an easy journey, there are some good and some bad days... (bad days meaning you'll be craving like crazy kasi you're still adjusting to the food), good thing is no hunger pangs naman.  Pero if i could do so could you   How much do you need to loose?

@Plump - Hi! It seems like you and I are just waiting for our diets... good luck to you girlie! Will be rooting for you so that both and of us can have a go at this. Makes it soooo much easier to know that others are going through the same program... LETS DO THIS!

[Plump]

@cuishygirl: Hi cuishygirl! I just got my program today! It's kinda exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. heehee... Honestly, i was a little overwhelmed by all the meal planning that i have to do. But the consultant said naman that'll i'll get the hang of it soon enough. If i want results, i need to work hard for it!

I hope you get your plan soon. It really helps when you're in this journey with someone diba?    I got mine a little over a week after giving them my blood test so i'm sure they'll be calling you soon.

By the way, there's this forum for " Cohenites"called New You Forum. You might want to sign up. I've been reading a lot of their posts and getting tips and tricks. All of them are so inspirational and it just keeps you motivated. There are a number of Pinoys there too, i think some of them are even here in this forum!

Keep me posted and good luck to us!

Hi guys! Ask ko lang, how long was the waiting time before you got hold of your meal plan? I have already enrolled 3 weeks ago and yet they told me that my meal plan isn't available yet. Does it really have to be this long? I'm really excited to get into the program na talaga.

And another question, where did you buy your digital weighing scales? Can you recommend a store/seller selling good quality yet affordable weighing scales?

Thank you very much!

-parang natakot naman ako dun sa hair loss, paano kung manipis na hair ko tapos magkaka-hair loss pa, shucks. Bakit me ganun?

[achengtarush]

I bought my weighing scale from Landmark kasi nung nagenrol ako ang mahal ng weighing scales nila P3500. Pero palpak yung unang nabili ko not accurate ang weight.  I saw a small weighing scale at the clinic that I don't see elsewhere. Parang okay naman and if I remember right mga P1500 lang ata.  Yun na lang bilin mo, right size pati madaling dalin.

[Plump]

I got my scale with them yesterday. I'm assuming it's China made coz of all the chinese characters. hehe... They're selling it for 2500.  I bumped into another Cohenite while i was there and we talked about the scales. She bought one outside the clinic na branded pa pero it broke down after 2 weeks of use. Then she got the one from the clinic and she's very happy with it. It's very acurate din daw also. Hope that helps! :-)

Hi Achengtarush! Thanks for the advice. Anyway, gaano katagal po kayo naghintay after niyo magenroll for your meal plan to arrive? I have been constantly following up with the center kaso it's been 3 weeks na and wala pa rin yung plan ko.

To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with how the center responds whenever I follow up. When calling them, instead of giving me a solid answer as to when can I possibly have my plan, they simply ask for my contact number and tell that they are going be the ones who will get back to me within the day. Pero wala na akong narinig from them, not even a single text.

Has anybody also experienced this? Yung sobrang tagal na pero wala paring plan? Thanks in advance!

[achengtarush]

^ ako in 1 week kahit sabi in 7 to 14 days.  But that was December 2010. Ngayon siguro sobrang dami na kasi ng nagsisign up and alam ko by batches ang dating.  May friend din kasi akong naganantay ng eating plan like you.  Inip na inip na din sya. 

Kasi it really comes from Dr. Cohen's clinic/office kaya wala sila control sa pagdating, sa pagkakaintindi ko.  Konting pasensya na lang, padating na siguro yun.

[Chuwariwap]

Thanks for your replies guys! Yes Achengtarush, medyo inip narin kasi. Hehe. I guess konting pasensya pa.

hello to everyone here. i joined FN just because of this thread.
I just started my program today and I already learned a lot from previous posts here.
keep it up everyone, I am so inspired!

[bygrace]

@cuishygirl, I am only on my 2nd day, let's do this together! share your progress and challenges.
sa ngayon, ang problem ko talaga yung vegetables. Ang hirap ubusin ng veggies. But my friend said na will get used to it.

Goodluck to us!

@Chuwariwap, medyo weird na hindi sila efficient sa case mo. I never had a problem with communication. I got my plan a week after my blood test. Sabi nila minsan may delay ng reply if you have health conditions that disqualifies you to join the program but I hope that is not the case for you. Just the same, they should be responding promptly. I hope you get your plan soon.

[Chuwariwap]

This is it! I already have my eating plan! Yay! Will start the program as soon as macomplete ko na yung ingredients ko! Will have to familiarize myself first with the rules. Ang daming do's and dont's!

@bygrace: Thanks for the reply po! I'll regularly post din my insights here regarding the program. Goodluck to us!!
