JCo, it is similar to Cohen but not exactly the same, its from a clinic based in South Africa, and it costs maybe a third of the price of Cohen, for more info, email bambinawise@mac.com; say “Marketman” sent you… and no, I am not in any way endorsing the diet I did other than to say it worked for me… :)

MarketMan – May I know where I can inquire about your diet? I’m about 80% decided on doing the Cohen diet, but want to be well-informed about other options, before I sign up.
Thank you! =)

Hi, MM! Will definitely await your revelation. Been wanting to go on a diet program myself (and actually pay for it if need be) but I do not know anyone who has done it. Now that you’re doing it, I’ll be more inclined to do it.

Papichulo…hahaha, good point. But if you’ve been to your cardiologist lately, they will probably admit that only 20-25% of your cholesterol is driven by diet and exercise; and the vast majority of it is driven by hereditary factors. So while it is definitely important to eat well and exercise, it is not always sufficient to bring down cholesterol levels.

I have been tracking my cholesterol levels for 12 years, and oddly, they didn’t rise much since I started this blog (considering my advancing age, and cholesterol naturally rises with age), which is something I wouldn’t have expected. But then again, I have been on cholesterol medicine of some sort or other for nearly 10 years I think… So if this diet I am on manages to lower my cholesterol by say 30+%, I will indeed be thrilled. And if I manage to get off meds that will be brilliant.

” I think a lot of my cholesterol issues are simply hereditaryâ€¦”

And these

“12 kilos of meat/fat out of the freezers and took this photo above. Two jumbo chickens at 3 kilos each, nearly a kilo of chicken wings, two kilos of pork belly or liempo, a kilo of Zubuchon lechon sisig, and roughly 2 kilos of fatback”

had nothing to do with it.

if that’s the C program, it’s a sure good way to lose weight. Goodluck!

Rona, I agree with you. This diet would be hard for you I think… no salt (or tiny amounts of salt), no soy sauce, no patis… I too am eating more western style meals and just have to suck it up for 45-60 days… :(

I’m looking forward to hearing more about your eating plan. In North America, most the of the weight loss plans have recipes designed for. . . non-Asians. Definitely not suited to how I like to eat (a large salad for lunch? What a waste of chewing energy!) I like Weight Watchers-style programs (I’ve never done the real program, but just used it on my own using publicly available information) because I can tweak my recipes to make them more healthful with lower points, but I wish there were other programs designed with Asians in mind. I need a lot of structure (or I’ll cheat too much), so it’s really hard doing it on my own!

MM on a diet (again) but this time walang pustahan with the Teen ;)))

I am on a diet, too, gluten free for half a year now because of chronic migraine headaches. Losing weight was not my agenda, but it’s the happy coincidence of the diet ;))

Good luck and may you be healthy always (para patuloy ang kaligayahan namin sa pagbabasa ng iyong blog).

@Carol, wishing you well on the road to recovery.
