Dr Cohen's First Personal Diet - Thread 2

[francesigh]

weee got my eating plan today ^_^ kaso nakalagay sa march 19 pa ang start ko. pero susubukan ko na sa friday, bibili na ako ng mga kailangan na gamit.

thanks sa prayers nyo at hindi ako na-disqualify =)

sis wife2be saan ka nakabili ng digital weighing scale? kasi yung nakita ko sa carrefour at hyperpanda puro analog type na 25grams ang scale count =( puro ganun lang nakita ko eh =( in-add pala kita sa facebook yesterday =)

sis alterego welcome po sa cohen lifestyle =)

kala ko mandatory ang soda, hehe constipated kasi ako pag umiinom ako nun so nag stop ako uminom ng soda 3 years ago =)

goodluck sa lahat =)

[wife2be]

omg, totoong napatalon ako sa saya sis francesigh! nabili ko weighing scale ko sa Geant sa may Ibn Batuta-- 89 dirhams. Pero nakakkita din ako sa Naif at 75 lang dun.

magstart ka na agad kasi ang bilang ng clinic on your 4th week. we only have 12 weeks to lose or else parang mag re-order ka ng plan. kaya start asap! wag yung analog ang bilin mo kasi sobrang liit ng 100 grams maawa ka sa sarili mo at mas malaki margin for error.

expect forst 4 days mahirap, pero after nun, it's a breeze! check ko fb ko. weeee.

[francesigh]

wee thanks hehe. we can talk often sa facebook. yihee may bago akong friend. =) thanks ulit.

check ko yung scale sa naif, sa deira kasi ako nakatira out of the way na yung ibn batuta =) thanks ulit. =)

[HopeYa]

Thanks girls! But I cheated today (confession talaga ito). I had lunch na before going to my lunch meeting.  I thought I could fake it and  I will just order coffee or coke light lang. But the host was particularly attentive during lunch and even said that she will take offense if I dont eat even a little.  So in my faking kunwari, I ate a little of tofu, soup ng ramen and vegetables.  since I ate na my lunch, excess na yung kinain ko sa meeting. haaay.  sana it will not cost me again 1 week to lose.  The last time I cheated ng bonggang bonga (I ate my favorite hopia) it cost me a week before I started losing pounds again.  Bad talaga.   

[wife2be]

ok, don't feel too bad. baka matgal nang na-digest ang food mo, naiisip mo pa din. the good news is, ang konti lang ng kinain mo...  ok lang yan, sis! try ulit to be 100% stick to the plan.

[EgoAltered03]

Hi francesigh, thanks for the welcome, and congrats on getting your eating plan! Let's do this! Ako din Day 3 palang today.

Hopeya sabi nga nila you only need to get up one more time than you fall. 25 pounds is no easy feat and you won't put that back on again with just some tofu, soup and veggies! Hope you don't feel too guilty anymore and are already well back on track.

As for me, the saga continues... Still got a headache in the afternoon, and it didn't help that the steak/beef I got for lunch was too tough - so my supposed "indulgence" turned into a disappointment.

Anyway, just a question -- can I continue to drink my Coke Zero or have crackers/fruit after dinner? Or dapat yung dinner na ang last meal of the day?

[marssie]

good for you sis!

Ako, I sent my blood test yesterday. Do they inform you if they have received it? Hindi pala ako Cohen Phils, I registered online..

Sabagay, weekend naman, pero I am getting a little anxious.

Ei sis, pwede pala online? Pero sa Philippines din na site ba? -- http://www.cohenlifestyle.com.ph/

Okay lang ba ask ko how much ang inabot?

[HopeYa]

Sis marssie,  di pwedeng online sa Philippines.  If you will try online, you will be instructed to contact the Cohen clinic in Makati. It will cost you P55,000 plus P2,500 for the food scale.  You can pay via credit card, 6 months to pay zero interest.

Sis Wife2be, thank you.  thank you for the encouragement.  I think walang masyadong effect yung lunch tragedy (ang drama,no?) the other day.



   

[marssie]

^thanks for the reply sis.. Oo nga yun din hinahanap ko, wala akong makitang info how to enroll online Anong site kayo nagregister?

[francesigh]

sis marssie, www.1stpersonaldiet.com po yung website pero nattrace nila yung IP address so kung from philippines ka, i-rerefer ka lang sa clinic sa philippines.

hayy super busy ako since tuesday, may exhibit kc, kahapon lang ako nag shopping ng mga kailangan. bibili din pla ako ng electronic veggie steamer mamaya =) sa monday na ang official start nung diet. ready na lahat hehe.

ask ko lang sana sis wife2be, anong cracker ang gamit mo? kasi naghahanap ako nung mga recommended cracker wala naman akong nakita. though i haven't checked at spinneys.
thanks!

[francesigh]

sis wife2be, share ko lang pala yung mga alam ko about sa fishes na available sa dubai, just incase you're still stuck with tuna =)

1. CATFISH - ito yung cream dorrie na nabibili in fish fillet type. meron to mostly sa carrefour at hyperpanda price range is 15AED - 30 AED (Depende sa sale =)

2. CODFISH - sa philippines tawag dito ay Gindara Fish, ito yung super white meat na parang walang dugo na fish na sabi nila masyadong mataas ang healthy oil content tapos lilinisin nya yung digestive system mo which makes you pupu after eating so be careful pag nasa office =)meron to sa carrefour naka-styro pack sya kasama ng mga salmon, price range is same sa salmon.

yung sole, mahi-mahi at whiting na fish eh mga super langsa na isda at mahirap lutuin =) mukhang malabo ko yun mabili dito ^_^

[francesigh]

hi girls ask ko sana kung may nag try na dito ng online program ng cohen diet na nasa philippines tapos sa mga kaibigan nila sa ibang bansa nagparegister?

ask ko po sana kung paano nyo sinubmit yung blood test? kasi ang laboratory address would be from the philippines diba? nakalusot po ba yun?
thanks!

[achengtarush]

^^sis, talaga allowed are cream dory and gindara sa inyo?  mga fatty fish yan e. paki check yung meal plan nyo.

[wife2be]

hi sis. hindi ako marunong tumingin ng frsh na fish.. stick to tuna na ako..
may tuna in can pa dito na swak sa fish allowance ko. pang tamad days.

 

[francesigh]

nakalagay kasi yun sa allowed na fish variety, catfish at codfish =) iba iba siguro ang mga recommended na isda sa bawat tao =)

[HopeYa]

Good to see achengtarush's name and comment.  Are you still in maintenance? easy ba to maintain?

[achengtarush]

Hi HopeYa, I am very much around.   I am on my 7th month of maintenance.  Madali na mahirap kasi I indulge once in a while but lucky me for knowing what to do.

Advice ko lang sa inyo, don't overthink the eating plan, just follow 100% including the sleep hours and water intake.  And install in your minds that you are doing a lifestyle change. Di pwede yung iisipin nyo di bale ilang months lang naman tong ganitong kain.  Hindi po.  Forever ng recommended yang ganyang kain. Maraming gulay partnered with good protein, low-salt, low-fat and low-carbs. The effects on your health and appearance would be worth it

[achengtarush]

One thing to look forward to in maintenance naman is that you can indulge once in a while and as long as you follow the management guidelines that will be given to you once you finish refeed, di kayo tataba agad unlike other diets.

[wife2be]

^^ achengtarush, can't wait to go to maintenance! you're an inspiration.
in 4 months kaya may visible changes na? i wish..

trying hard really not to deviate.

[HopeYa]

I agree, you are an inspiration, achengtarush! I always go back to the first thread just to read your posts and get tips! hehe

Wife2be, within 1 month meron Ng visible changes I cannot use the clothes that I used to wear last jan. I started in feb.  you don't have to wait in 4 months.
