Hi Beagle
Cohen's is similar to sure slim in that they do blood tests which get sent to Dr
Cohen and he then determines what you get to eat. They basically cut back on carbs and
fat, and he gives you mainly protein and veges in varying proportions with a limited amount of carbs. The food portions are very small, but you don't get hungry after the first week, so if you can stick the first week out , you should be right. Once you have lost the weight you want to lose you get a "re-feeding" program where they re-introduce all the eliminated foods back into your
diet over a period of a few weeks so your
body gets used to processing them again, and you can pinpoint whether any of these foods were triggering a reaction for you, and eliminate those foods for ever.
Before starting the program I was having major problems with food cravings, and couldn't control what I ate. I was obese ( at 110kg) and thought that this is what I would have to spend the rest of my life as. Since starting the program (on 1/7/05) I have lost 30kg, have not had a single craving, and feel like I am back in control of my life again. They do have a website you can look at if you want all the technical stuff behind why they do what they do, but basically it works, and I feel like it has saved my life!!
