Dr Cohen's First Personal Diet - Thread 2

[Sisa16]

First day tomorrow, Unofficially! Kayang kaya ko to!

Mga sis na based sa UAE, ano po ang tinetake nyo na multivitamins? Pashare naman po.

Any advice to give? Thanks po!

[kreez]

^goodluck sis!

[amberstar]

@wife2be, anong brand ng yogurt favorite mo? Di ka ba nagugutom in bet meals pag yogurt kinain mo?
@Sisa16, good luck at kaya mo yan, bakit unofficial pa, dapat official na agad...  , regarding vitamins take 2 centrum a day, 1flaxseed oil.
@freshpicks, ako parang 12days ata before ko natangap yung EP ko.  dito ka ba base sa pinas?
@francesigh, actually di ko masyado maintindihan yung blood chem na required sa atin eh, i think it's kidney function kaya kita agad kung nag cheat ka kasi lahat dumadaan sa kidney natin diba, kumbaga eh filter ng katawan natin, kita agad ang bakas ng deviation at may ebidensya... hahaha....
@acheng, nag start ka na ba uli sa EP mo? ako 3rd day ko today lost 1kg na, grabe mas mahirap pala pag take 2 na pero 1st 2 days lang ako nahirapan, today ok na ako, as in I'm in the zone na... tuloy pa din pag exercise ko, di ko na hininto, sayang momentum eh. I'm planning to go to fitness first on my 13 or 14th day to determine my body fat %(free naman daw yun diba?)  Para may idea ako kung mag stop na ako sa EP if i gained muscle or itutuloy ko pa EP kung i still have high or normal high body fat pa.  Good luck sa atin.

sis amberstar, salamat ng madami, bili ko ng centrum.sana makakita ako dito.hehe.. kaya unofficial kasi sa monday pa ko dapat start pero bukas na ko magstart kasi walang pasok dito so pwedeng hindi ako gumalaw para hindi ako tee hee!..

[kreez]

yey! 13lbs in 2 weeks! happy happy!

[poligals]

Hi Cohenites!

Did any of you experienced constipation while doing the program? I just started and I noticed my bowel movement is not regular. I read in my plan that I can take a natural laxative. Any idea what those are or where I can find them?

[kreez]

^hindi ko naman naexperience ang constipation pero hindi nga regular ang bowel movement... siguro sis para sure tanong mo sa consultant mo kung anong laxative ang pwede

[amberstar]

@poligals, ako constipated while on the EP, you could use psyllium husk (mix it in warm water then drink agad para di mamuo) or senna tea(like biguerlai, kankunis, etc...)
@kreez, wow 13lbs in 2 weeks! grabe! kaingit ka naman, that's what i lost on my 1st month, buti ka 2 weeks lang.  How much do you need to loose?

[kreez]

^nako sis eh ang dami ko naman kasing kailangan i-loose, I need to loose 80lbs kaya siguro mabilis yung pag loose ko ng lbs. 

[rainbowcoloredmoi]

^great job! ang laki kagad ng nalose mo.

@poligals: i experienced this two weeks ago lang..my consultant advised me to take senokot. pero nagtry muna ako kumain ng kiwis (with the skins)..thank goodness um-okay naman na ako the next day.

@martintine: yep i tried cooking zucchinis sa air fryer..ok naman yung kinalabasan when i sprayed olive oil then sprinkled some thyme & salt (although once i think i've left it far too long kaya medyo nagdry hehe)

@sisa16: for my vitamins, i'm currently taking blackmores multivitamins & minerals, fish oil and yung nails, hair & skin

@amberstar: masarap yung bulla na yoghurt for me. pag super tamad, eto go-to breakfast ko hehe..by the way, controlled na ba yung hypothyroidism mo? anong maintenance mo para dito?

@freshpicks: it took about 3 weeks before i got my plan

[amberstar]

@rainbow, gusto ko din ng bulla lite n healthy, pero madalas walang stock sa s&r tapos feeling ko sayang kasi pag binili ko yung 200g mahal tapos hindi ko naman nauubos in 1 sitting kasi nga bumalik ako sa EP ko now so specific gm lang pwede ko kainin.  Riot ang gulo ng thyroid hormones ko since nag cohen ako, I'm taking thyrax now to control it pero grabe mga results ko, ang gulo-gulo ewan ko kung dahil may kinalaman sa hormones tong diet na to.  I'm schedule to have a test tom again tapos pupunta na ako sa endocrinologist to have it checked bka kasi kaya ako nag gain ng weight lately e dahil sa thyroid problem ko.

[kreez]

i was such in a hurry last night kasi aalis kami so I had to eat before we go, pag balik namin narealize ko na yung tinimbang kong veggie naiwan ko pala yung mushroom sa scale so a couple of grams short pala yung veggies ko haaay.... oh well   

[Sisa16]

@sis kreez, just a thought.. kung more or less than a gram or two [textspeak!] veggies/ protein mo, would it be fine? Today is my 2nd day and mejo nahihirapan ako sa weighing.hahah!

[freshpicks]

Amberstar, yep dito ko sa pinas.

[kreez]

^^nako sis yan nga hindi ko pa sure kung ano magiging effect nito kasi lagi sakto yunng timbang ng mga niluluto ko eh.... 

sa iba nating sisters, macoconsider  kaya tong deviation?

btw, sarap ng lunch ko grabe, nilagang baka hmmm... nafigure out ko na din kung pano iluto in bulk ang nilagang baka hehe   

[amberstar]

@freshpicks, don't worry lapit na din release ng EP mo.  wala pa din ba til now?
@kreez, yes it's counted as deviation but don't worry minor lang naman yan, just brush it off and continue on...  masasanay ka din sa susunod... 80lbs pala ilu-loose mo, well sandali lang yan, baka in 6-7months matapos ka na din.  Yung sa akin lang bukod tanging matagal kasi i lost 40lbs in 6months dahil sa thyroid problem ko.  Good luck and I'm excited for you, did you take your before and after picture?  Kasi ako wala eh, kaya nagsisi ako nung natapos ako without the comparison.  I hated the way i look kasi that i can't even take a photo of myself. 

[kreez]

^Thanks sis,  yun nga ginawa ko eh I just shrugged it off, wala nako magagawa eh... haay sana nga mabilis ko maachieve yung desired weight ko.   hopefully mastabilize na yung thyroid mo sis....

[francesigh]

paano po mag luto ng nilagang baka in bulk? =) nilagang isda lang lagi kong niluluto eh kasi mas matipid sa gas hehe.

[Sisa16]

share ko lang, mga sis, kasi bumili ako ng tilapia. i filleted the tilapias then nanghinayang ako na itapon [textspeak!] bones and heads. so i emailed the consultant kung pwedeng ilagay un kapag nagsisimmer ng soup then syempre, discard after maluto. para bang kinukuha lang [textspeak!] lasa ng fish dun sa heads and bones. sabi ng consultant, as long as fish din ang protein at hindi kakainin in the end, that is just fine. naexcite lang ako kasi hindi magiging bland [textspeak!] lasa ng fish soup un.

today is my 3rd day, wala na [textspeak!] light headedness ko at hilo but nakakaramdam ako ng hunger pangs. parang hindi enough yung kinakain ko.. i keep on drinking water, pati si cracker nakain ko ng around 8 am. nakatulong ng konti si chewing gum. good thing, hindi ako lakad ng lakad sa office. pero nakakadagdag [textspeak!] humidity sa panghihina ko.

goodluck sa atin!

[francesigh]

normal lang yan sisa16, mga after 6th day mawawala na yan. i-endure mo nalang. isipin mo kakain ka rin naman kina-umagahan =) or mamaya after 5 hours ng breakfast mo =) kaya yan.
