From: Patrick@home on 17 Nov 2005 03:01 Hi Guys, has anyone ever heard of the Cohen Lifestyle clinics and Dr Cohens diet? I've been on the diet for approximately 6 weeks, and have had some great results 11.6kg (21.78lbs) in 4 weeks. I was hoping there might be someone out there with some experience or information on the eating plan. Currntly I'm STARVING at night, I've tried coffee, water, walking ... I can't seem to kick this insane hunger at night. Any suggestions and guys I'd owe you! Cryss Starting 306.9lbs/139.5kg Current 285.1lbs/129.6kg Goal 136.4lbs/62kg

I also found some nice recipes on the site - thanks<g> Congratulations on your success to date. I have no idea what your current eating plan is but could you save a few of your allowed calories for later in the evening when you're experiencing the extreme hunger? Beverly
From: Patrick@home on 17 Nov 2005 16:06 Thanks Doug, however it's is a little more difficult than "just EAT". the plan I'm on is really strict, I have a specific allowance of food (I'm saving my biggest allowance for the evening meal), I can have only two pieces of fruit a day (specific types) and I can have 5 Vita Wheats (small wheat based crackers) those I can only have 2 at a time and mustn't eat more than those two in a 2.5 hr period. My main meals of which I have 3 must be 5 hours apart. So although I think in a normal situation your suggestions would get me over my hurdle, I was hoping for some suggestion that didn't include eating, it's more psychological for me, maybe I'm not really hungry (although it feels like it) maybe I'm just craving something to do. Thanks to those who responded, I'll maybe try to eat my bigger meal (bigger by 10grams!!! hold on to your hats I say!) I'll keep reading the threads and see if anyone has an epiphany about managing boredom/hunger. cryss "Doug Lerner" <doug(a)lerner.net> wrote in message news:BFA2D313.1AA80%doug(a)lerner.net... > >> Patrick(a)home wrote: >>> >>> Currntly I'm STARVING at night, I've tried coffee, water, walking ...

I kinda eluded to the eating plan in my reply to Doug, it's insanely strict, I don't think I realised until I'd paid my money and gotten my plan how had it was going to be. the strictness removes any chance of me moving calories around (it's a dark science!) I'll keep the group posted as to my progress. thanks again, enjoy the recipes. Cryss >

I love doing research on bike trails I want to ride in other states. I often find I've spent a couple hours browsing through the information and haven't given food a thought. I can do the same when I'm doing a sewing project, scrap booking or any activity that involves keeping the hands and mind busy. Do you have such a hobby? Good luck in finding an answer to your problem. Are the calories extremely low on this plan?
