HI BAM
we can eat cheese once a day, and feta only once a week.
How's it going with the fish? I'm having a tuna day and a lots of water day cos it's weigh day tomorrow and the day or two before weigh day i never eat my crispbread or fruit, I think it's a mental thing. yeah, it is, I'm mental:)

I had a funny story I was going to post.
My stupid bus broke down this morning, it had stalled twice (but I don't think you can stall an automatic:confused: ), and on the third go it just wouldn't start again. We weren't that far from work, so I decided to walk from the Valley to City (thru Spring Hill)(for those of you playing at home, and know Brisbane).

:) i now know why they call it Spring HILL,
:eek: I wish I fit my jeans, cos every 5th step I was having to pull them back up. On the weekend I was only having to pull them up every 11 steps.
:rolleyes: maybe i should've worn a belt after all but it kept bunching up the waist line, and that's just soooo attractive, not!!
:( catch the first bus that comes along, even if you have to stand up.

Actually the blood tests only check your sugar levels, cholestrol levels and thats it.Anyone who actually believes that rubbish about blood profiling has to be very stupid. 6 of my girlfriends and I all signed up for this program individually. When we all got our supposdely custom programs we got smart and checked our programs against each others. What do you think we found out? All the programs were identical down to the last gram of food. So tell me what does that mean? Blood profiling does not work. Just go to the nearest bookstore and see all the diet books that say blood profiling for diets does not work and is actually not able to be tested. I should know because I am a lab tech that does the test for all the doctors and there is no test for what they are claiming. So you are fooling your self if you believe their crap. Cohens taught me that there are still sheisters out there ripping gullible people off. You should also know that 4 of my girlfriends have finished the program including the refeeding and have all put the weight back on. My personal trainer was horrified at this diet because you loose your weight through massive muscle loss. I have swapped over to a 70% raw food lifestyle change and feel 100% better than I did on cohens. I have more energy and have lost 25kgs in 6 weeks. I highly recommend that you quit cohens now for your wellbeing. Have a great day.

Sheisters like who? like them! What logic is that, I feel I got ripped off so I will rip off others.

However, clearly there is a grain of truth mixed with a fabric of distortion. It is no surprise that I think that Cohens is 90% true mixed with 10% BS.

There is plenty of science that links the lower sugar levels with increased levels of seratonin hormone so Cohens score a A+ for that. Plenty of science that show the reduction in carbs combined with a reasonable level of protein reduces hunger levels and ablillity to "stay" on a diet (because you dont feel starved) again A+. As for Human Growth Hormone (HGH), well I couldnt find any science about the link between HGH and seratonin levels, but I am not a researcher, just an internet user! HGH however is very difficult to measure as adults only produce "pulses" a few times a day and these are very small and very difficult to measure. Low fat, low starches, sugars and salt, balancing out insulin levels well 50 years of science clearly true A+. I have doubts that the link between Seratonin and HGH based on his "private" research is a bit hard to accept, ie. it may or may not be true. As for the link between HGH and being overweight there seems to be some evidence fpr this I think Cohen score a "D" in my mind as it is inconculsive.

The first blood test has more indicators, I believe these are used by Dr Cohen to check that your are heathy enough for the program. I understand that there are further blood tests with less indicators (sorry I dont know) which I believe will be used by Dr Cohen to make sure your protein level is not too high or too low. I suspect that for a woment of a certain height and ideal weight there programs will be fairly similar or even identical, yet adjusted for the amount of protein (eg. Urea) found in the blood.

So believe blood profiling does work BUT it's not all that it is cracked up to be, as I believe it is more to do with setting the protien level to a resonable value, enough to keep you from feeling hungry, yet not too much to cause trouble for liver and kidneys (as suggested by Atkins diets detractors) with too much protein.

Actually if anyone wants to tell me there height and shoe size, I will try to guess your chicken or steak allowance.

So I think Cohens is basically a low calorie diet low in starches and other carbs, causing your body to enter Ketosis (switching burning fat rather than sugars) , proteins are kept to a reasonable level to make sure you dont feel hungry, (remember my comments that proteins are held in you stomach for a long time to be digested...hence you dont feel as hungry as with starches).
I believe blood tests are firstly to make sure you are healthy enough for the diet and secondarily to make sure your protien intake is not too high or too low.
 
Slinkee-

Got some good news! I just sent to my consultant what that idiot on ebay sent me and my consultant is going to forward it onto Cohen's Lawyers hahahahahahaha :)

On the ebay site it actually has a pic of the program with her name on it.. what a silly biatch!! I agree when you say Karma will get her in the end.. wait until Cohen's Lawyers get ahold of this wally.. hahahaha sorry im just so happy!!



P.S- I know what you mean about Spring Hill... it is a bloody big hill :)

P.P.S- She is also selling the Betalife weightloss program on Ebay.. hahaha this chick cracks me up!

P.P.P.S- Does anyone know what P.S Means?? hehe i surely dont!

Good work lessfatty you seem to have done alot of research. There is no denying that Cohen's works and as someone stated if you go back to eating pizza and chips everyday and don't follow the guidelines you will put back the weight on (this applies to any diet you follow).

I am interested to see if you have unlocked the key. I am shoe size 8, 161 cm tall. What is my protein allowance?

Jayce- Yeh i know this woman is going to get a really rude shock when she receives the letter from the Lawyer..

They have her name and all the details on the computer where she signed up for cohen's.. so shes screwed!!

Just shows what happens when you mess with ~BAM~ Mwhahaha (evil laugh) actually i am a nice person, its just wally's like this chick that annoy me.. and now she is going to pay! BIG TIME!! Mwwwhahahaha (once again evil laugh) :)
 
HI BAM

ha ha, oh, that's just so funny. little-miss-know-it-all is going to be in for such a big shock. I can just picture, "No, Mr Lawyer, it doesn't make any difference, cos all my friends, blah blah, and I do blood tests, so I know what I'm....."

And then they roll in all their experts and cart her away to jail.

i told ya karma would get her and bite her on the a$$ :D
 
Hi Guys....

WOW ... what a fantastic little drama to spice up the forum on a Tuesday afternoon!

Hi BAM!... I'm looking and cant seem to find it on ebay... what is it listed for sale as? Where does this chick get off?

Hi Lessfatty! - its nice to rely on you for the science of it all. I think as long as it works and helps us lose weight thats all I care about. Thanks for the info last week for my hubby. Tell me, how many crackers are you able to have a day? I'm only allowed 5 but I'm assuming he can have more, but wont know until he gets his actual program. Would be good to know as I am winging it at the moment.

Hi Ready to Lose! - I noticed the Paradise Lites change and just asked *sunshine* if the 8 grains were Ok as we have been tucking into them the last few days. Would love to know if your consultant mentions these.

Off now to scour e-bay to find the rogue program......
 
Hello there!

Man, this has been so much fun to read! The whole ebay thing! What a crack up! BAM you are hilarious! I hope I don't p@$$ you off anytime - I don' think I'd like to be on the receiving end of that evil laugh! LOL!

And lessfatty I think you hit the nail on the head re: Cohen's. I believe the blood test is to ensure you are capable of handling the diet - not so much a special diet just for you. And I think it is a great thing that they check your blood - who wants to end up with gallstones or find out they're diabetic etc etc. It's a great idea and gives people confidence to keep going which is half the battle. And I do believe most of us ladies will be on very similiar programs/allowances. But that is missing the point entirely. We will lose weight and we are learning how to eat better/healthier and to eat less of full stop.

What an ignoramus that woman must be! And to think she is 'clever' for losing 25 kg in 6 weeks! OMG! She obviously has no idea. Just wait, we'll all see her on 'Medical Emergencies' being lifted out of her house by the fire brigade 'cause she'll be too fat to move! I am certain what she is doing is illegal - doesn't it say something in the contract you sign????

Anyway...I believe Macee was starting up again? Good for you. You are young - it will fall off you lovie! Congratulations for getting back on the wagon. We are all in the same boat so don't be afraid to spill your guts (not very nice term!) But we are here to help. The people on this forum have picked me up more than once - it's invaluable. GO GIRL - YOU CAN DO IT!

Hope to hear (read) more great stories later....
 
::dubschic::- I actually just typed in "Cohen's" under the main Ebay search part and up the retard came!! LOL (Sorry for the use of the word retard but honestly, their is no other word for her)

8-2 Much- Mwhahahaha I have had such an eventful day!! I love running a muck even if it is just over the internet.. As you can probablly imagine i have done no work today.. i have 15 tax returns to be done in 30mins haha.. i have no luck finishing them! Ive just had so much fun thinking up evil plans with my consultant via email to screw this woman far up her (not going to mention where).. Im thinking if you have a look at their would be a picture of the fat ass biatch there.. hahahah (Please note- this website is not real.. or could be.. i havent looked) Im still cracking up over it.. I will say it again.. WHAT A WALLY!!!! Gees i love the word Wally! Crack up! hahahahha..


:: DUBSCHIC ::- I JUST LOOKED AGAIN, THEY HAVE REMOVED HER!! hahahaha.. sorry you guys missed out on all the fun.. :(

You're Busted!!

Thanks BAM - I've just seen it too!

The interesting thing is that on ebay she lists it as something she bought from someone else 3 months ago (and lost 35kgs), when in her email to you she claims that she and her friends all actually signed up for the program individually.

I'd say the Cohen's lawyers AND ebay might get some mileage out of this one!

And to quote her reply email to you.... 'Cohens taught me that there are still sheisters out there ripping gullible people off...'

That's a bit rich isnt it????
 
Ooooooh ::dubschic:: that makes me think...

Maybe it isnt her program?... Maybe she is selling a program that she bought?.. So that might mean.. im getting another WALLY in trouble!!! Ot oooooooo didnt think of that. Hrmmm arr well.. hopefully it is her..
Did you see she is selling the Betalife program aswell.. this chick is seriously weird!
 
Someone a few pages ago was asking about how often we can eat cheese....... in my program it says fetta once a week and the other cheeses a maximum of 3 times per week.

Also, on the ebay person..... when I went to pick up the program, there were 4 other people there at the same time, and we all had different amounts/ combinations of food. I had the most red meat - yippee! Others were able to eat more or less than me, some had more options for breakfast etc. So, it is unlikely that 6 friends would have received the same program.
 
cheese and ebay

I had told BAM that cheese was fine everyday, and after reading this I double checked, cos i've been known to be wrong before;)
anyway, MINE says cheese can be eaten maximum once a day, so maybe it is different for each person again.

I'm not very impressed with ebay, I wrote them an email reporting her. Looks like Lenore McDonald (the name on the program) is going to be the one expecting a vist from the lawyers.

only one more sleep until weigh day:)
 
SLINKEE!!

Maybe i should read my program about the cheese.. :) that would be a bright idea!! (insert lightbulb pic here)

That ebay wally lenore mcdonald is going to have no pants soon... because COHEN'S will sue them off her! Mwhahahah (evil laugh) again.. :)

P.S- HOLY CRAPOLLA BATMAN- IVE DONE 126 POSTS SINCE JULY!...
