Dr Cohen's First Personal Diet - Thread 2

[wife2be]

how are you francesigh? good thing, nag eenjoy ka. ako napa-deviate recently. grrr.

sa personal page mo, may makikita kang window na request to extend the contract for another 3 months. discounted na yun.. 100 plus dollars na lang ata.

happy dieting, all!

[francesigh]

thanks sis wife2be. very good naman ang pakiramdam ko ngayon. my sleeping disorder is gone since i started cohens ang sarap sa pakiramdam hehe. 5kg ang nawala saken nung nag timbang ako after day 17 ata yun. nakakatuwa talaga yung diet na to.

ikaw kamusta na? busy na ba sa wedding preparation? yihiii!! im so excited to see your pictures sa wedding mo =)

nagtanong pala ako sa consultant about flax seed and biotin ang sabi, pwede daw ako ng 1tbsp ng flax seed pero ang biotin daw ay hindi pwede kasi baka magkaron ng complication dun sa mga recommended foods. (actually hindi ko maintindihan bakit magkakaron ng complications eh since na supplement lang naman yun) well siguro iba iba nga talaga ang chemistry ng tao.

may mga rashes ako ngayon T_T bakit kaya? tapos super dry ng skin ko lalo na sa mukha =(

[achengtarush]

^sino consultant mo? are you from Manila?  bakit hindi daw pwede ang biotin??? nakakataka naman yun because it is one of the recommended supplements.

[francesigh]

sa online ako eh. yun kasi sabi nung consultant hindi daw kailangan ang biotin kasi makaka affect daw sa HGH. baka iba iba ang recommendation bawat tao.

ang dry masyado ng mukha ko as in nagkakaron ng mga flakes sa sobrang dry. ano kaya gagawin ko dito, hindi pa naman ako gumagamit ng mga moisturizers or kahit ano sa mukha ko =(

[Pink*ladybug]

^are you drinking enough water? 

[francesigh]

yup, 2 - 2.5L a day kailangan ko siguro dagdagan. sa ngayon petroleum jelly nalang muna ilalagay ko natatakot kasi ako gumamit ng moisturizers baka magka acne ako.

[wife2be]

sis, baka iba iba nga.. sa akin kasi recommeded ang Biotin along with other supplement.

re dryness, ako sobrang water and moisturizer. baka mas harsh ang petroleum jelly, sis.

[francesigh]

thanks sis, pacheck up nalang ako mamaya sa doctor, hindi talaga gumagaling tapos pag pinawisan ako ang hapdi sobra .

happy dieting sa lahat!

[jiffy]

ask ko lang po sana where kayo buy ng plain yoghurt na sakto 175g.. Thanks!

[magnolia94]

@jiffy.. wala ata exact na 175g.  I just transfer to my own container/bowl and weigh 175 g.  Kahit na the container says 100g, sometimes the weight is less (mga 90g lang).  So I make sure to weigh out my portion before I eat.  I am a big fan of Rizal Dairy (Low fat greek is super sarap).  And I buy the 2kg tubs for P600.  I add some splenda to my yoghurt and its the one meal I look forward to each day.  Each tub lasts me one week (kasi my husband also eats the yoghurt -- so nauubos agad).

^^^Hi sis Francesigh!

Ako dati naging super duper mega dry  when I started dieting. I trid using cetaphil and moisturizer but to no avail. I accidentally used my dove body bar (soap in old/original variant) in my face, ayun nawala ang dryness. Ngayon ok na. seguro kailangan mo lang makahanap na hiyang sa face mo.

[jiffy]

Thanks sis magnolia! sa market market ako nakabili.. ang sarap nung greek yoghurt nila! love it with mango sa morning 

[jelly]

I've been backreading since last night. Ang habang basahan pero worth it.
I went to my derma and don ko nalaman ang Cohen. i saw her kasi na mataba sya now grabe ang sexy na nya.
So I decided na magresearch. magpaachedule na ako tomorrow sana di naman matagal.... sabi nya kasi may waiting list daw pero para daw madali ako sabihin ko mag out of the country ako para isingit nila. Kami ng mommy ko magtatry.

When I learned about this... nabuhayan ako ng loob naging masaya ako. kasi may chance pa pala. im giving up na kasi sobrang mashoba na ako. after giving birth d na ako pumayat.
I cannot even look at myself in the mirror... parang I cannot see me talaga.
depress depressan. pero dahil
dito nabuhayan ako ng loob...

Question mga sis ano yun dahilan na madedecline ka? beside diabetic?
D naman kami diabetic pero
gusto ko lang malaman... because my mom is 60+ na...
thanks

[wife2be]

yes sis jelly! i felt the same way before. sobrang may hope...

i think kung diabetic at kung pregnant ka, of course. para optimal at accurate ang results, do not over-fast for your blood test.

[ixxxmmx]

@jelly - ganyan din ako, i can't look at myself in the mirror

ang tagal ko mag update but nagstart na ako mga sis. grabe nashock lang ako, i lost 7lbs na in 3 days. hubby ko naman 11lbs kakaloka, mind blowing talaga the science behind this. obviously this is just water weight pero naman i've tried all sorts of diet pills and diet programs pero i never lost 7lbs in 3 days tapos eating healthy pa. (parang binayadan ng cohen hehe)

anyway, i have no problems with the food. sometimes hindi ko na talaga kaya so i don't finish my food pero i really try to kasi nga dba kailangan ifollow yun program. nahihirapan lang talaga ako sa sleep and water intake.  i know super unhealthy but i really wake up after 4 hours tapos i just take a powernap in the middle of the day. even if i try to go back to sleep ayaw na talaga eh. though last night naka 5 hours ako so i'm hoping as the days go by makaya ko na magsleep ng 8hrs. yun water naman sanay kasi ako na coffee ng coffee tapos coke tapos juice sobrang bihira lang talaga ng water so now pilitan talaga. breakfast pa lang i try to consume at least 1L para hindi na ako mahirapan throughout the day.

we're going to try not to use salt and splenda, try lang naman, pag hindi na nakatiis gagamit na hehe. we also don't eat the crackers. grabe my husband used to eat 2-3 cups of rice tapos ngayon miski crackers ayaw nya.

kakaexcite, i hope deviation free pa din kami after a couple of months, we have a very long way to go pa.

[ixxxmmx]

@MGM13 - forgot to thank you, nakabili ako ng supplements earlier pala. mahirap maging atat haha. thanks so much!

[francesigh]

hi sis MGM thanks! medyo ok na skin ko now dinamihan ko lang [textspeak!] water intake. =)

[magnolia94]

@ Sis Jiffy... yes, sa Market market.  Or you can also get sa salcedo market on saturdays.

@ sis Jelly.. my tita na deny kasi 63 yr old sha with several medical problems (fatty liver, abnormal liver tests, kidney troubles).  I think also the age cut-off is 65.   tapos for me, they said I had to wait for a few months  kasi i was breastfeeding pa, so when baby was 1 1/2 yrs old, saka lang ako nag-start ng cohen.

[wife2be]

sisses, parang ang bagal na ng weight loss ko... as in 1 week na ako the same weight. hindi nag mo-move ang scale. pero may changes (lost inches sa body)... nakaka-sad ata.

[magnolia94]

sis wife2be... dont worry, ganyan lang talaga ang cycle of loss ng cohen.  just stick with the program bababa din ang weighing scale ulit.  Nangyari na rin sa akin yan.  if it is getting you depressed, dont weigh yourself everyday muna.  just enjoy the inch loss!
