Can I assume that a clinic visit is necessary because of the bloodwork ?

How often do you have to go to the clinic after the first visit ?

My problem is simply that I am living in Gibraltar and the closest - by flight - location would be the UK ...

just wondering if I can ever get onto that program at all since it sounds sooo interesting ..
 
I'm not sure about the initial consultation, but it's possible you may be able to do the lot (aside from the blood tests of course) over the phone or by email. Even the initial visit may possibly be done that way. The subsequent consults you definetely can. All the best with it.
 
Hi,
Cohens offer an internet based program, that some of the people on the forum are doing. It is structured slightly differently to those who are using clinics and face to face appointments. You can get more information from
http://1stpersonaldiet.com/

and others may be able to give you more information on how they are finding the internet program

You dont need to visit a clinic, you can do the internet program, you just need to have blood tests done at a local doctor or pathogists and then send them to a Cohen clinic

I have to say that I have mixed feelings about the internet program http://1stpersonaldiet.com/, it does however provide you with your personal diet plan, a guide book, simple sample meals/recipes (which I have never used) and a very basic email support. Price is : US$226 for 12 weeks then $179 for each addition 12 weeks of questionable "support". Others have been more satisfied with the internet support than I have.

Australian clinics eg Perth are experienced in providing remote support (for people 1000km away in remote locations) so their price is AUD$680 for upto 1 year of support and from what I have read provide more professional support. The contact name in Perth I have is Rosemary Burd rosemary.b@lifestyleclinic.com.au

Beware the program is not easy it is a test of your commitment and planning over a period of time, I have lost consistently 1.5KG per week. For a "taste" of what it would be like you can try preparing for cohens Note that Cohen's is a low fat, low carb, moderate (not high) protein diet plan, it is as I like to say a "big stick" for a "big fat problem".

I must say it does sound interesting ... but I have a natural allergy against programs of any kind where the actual price is not mentioned anywhere on the website ..... usually it has a reason why ....
 
Michael even tho the price isn't included on the website, when you attend the information session, they are very upfront about the price and we were told if you don't think this program is for you don't do it. There was no pressure and no hidden costs that I have come across in the past 12 weeks. It does take commitment and as LessFatty stated, you do need to be organized and plan ahead. Otherwise a very worthwhile $680.00 spent in my honest opinion.:)
 
I'm in Western Australia and couldn't get to a clinic ....... so I phoned the nearst one to me, explained the situation. The consultant explained the program and answered all my questions. She sent me a pathology request for my blood tests then once all had been sent back to her/dr cohen I was sent my plan. She contacts me regularly by email and I am able to contact her anytime by email or phone. I have been sent my re-feed (which I should be starting end of this week) and I have still not met with her. I am hoping to get to meet her before xmas so she can see the results. (lost 15kgs in 13 weeks and as at today am at 58.7 - my goal is 58kgs). As for the money - it's been worth every cent!
 
Thanks guys ... I will think about it .... :)
