The
Eating Plan consists of three meals a day taken in specific quantities from the
basic food groups of proteins, vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates. No exotic or expensive foods need to be
purchased. The essential formula is the
specific quantity and combination unique to each person.
The
specialized Eating Plan is followed by a short, stabilizing Refeeding Program
to reintroduce richer foods without upsetting the balance created by the Eating
Plan. This ensures that the weight will
not be regained once the individual resumes normal eating, provided that
management guidelines are faithfully followed.
“The
Cohen Program is not a diet, it is a lifestyle,” says Barbara Young, CEO of
Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre. “Following the
program precisely will allow the body to correct the hormonal imbalance
naturally. The Cohen Program is also a
safer, healthier and cheaper alternative to invasive procedures,” says Barbara,
herself a beneficiary of the program.
Before
she gave the Cohen Program a try, Barbara weighed 172 lbs. Caught up in the frenetic pace of the
corporate world, she would eat whatever she wanted in order to cope with
stress; or for no good reason at all.
But after adopting the Cohen Program, Barbara says she now “eats only when
I know my body needs it and I also watch what I eat. I’ve also influenced my family to eat
healthily by eliminating many of the processed foods we used to eat or use for
cooking. We’re now conscious of what
types of food are beneficial for our bodies.
Now I’m healthier and slimmer.” Barbara lost 46 lbs. in just four and a
half months.
Barbara
found it hard to keep the good news to herself so she shared her positive
experience to her friend Regina Rodriguez-Chuavon. Regina then convinced her sister Dr. Angela
Rodriguez-Bandola to also undergo the program.
“The
greatest lesson I derived from the Cohen Program is being conscious of the
types of food that I put in my mouth. Before the program, I always went
for fatty foods and junk food. In a fast food restaurant, I had a hard
time ordering because I wanted everything on the menu. After the program,
to my surprise, I would find myself in a fast food restaurant and again have a
hard time ordering because this time, there was nothing on the menu that I
wanted to eat,”
says Regina.
For
Dr. Bandola, her weight of 240 lbs. made life difficult for her. She also found it very difficult to find
clothes that fit her. Wanting to lose
the extra pounds, she tried everything from jogging, boxing, medications to all
the other diets that were in vogue. These did not result in any substantial
weight loss. And when she stopped, she would
regain the weight “with interest.” Says
Dr. Bandola: “With the Cohen Program, I saw and felt the results
immediately.” Just one month into the
program and she was already unearthing her old clothes because she could fit
into some of them again. When she finished the program, Dr. Bandola lost 110
lbs. Now, she remains mindful of what
she eats and she feels so much better.
The
life-changing benefits that Barbara, Regina and Dr. Bandola gained from the
Cohen Program inspired them to set up the Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre in the
Philippines. Together, the three women
actively serve as senior consultants to their clients.
Barbara
says that the center’s mission is to save and transform Filipinos to live
better lives. “With 3 out of 10 people
being obese, we knew that this program will be able to help a lot of
people. We want to give Filipinos an
effective, safe and natural alternative to weight loss and a lifestyle that can
help them remain healthy for the rest of their lives,” says Barbara.
