Dr. Cohen's 1st Personal Diet

I was at the club and was accosted by a young lady in there about this diet. She said that she did this diet and it increased her metabolism/lost 30 lbs, ect. Sounded to me a little like the Dr, after the blood test, prescribed to her the south beach/atkins diet. Anyway, I guess a 390 lb guy on the elyptical does attract attention.

Has anyone else heard of this? Tried it? or do you think it's varience of the south beach. I'm thinking if it was documented to work, my dr would have done this for me.

I would have to say that almost every diet works...from Jenny Craig, to the cabbage soup diet. BUT a diet is exactly what it is. When you are on it, you do well. The minute you go off you gain the weight back+. People need to go on a "life change" in order to keep the weight off; and the band is definitely a tool to help you change your life. :bolt:

There is a diet that's been around for awhile called the "blood type" diet. It is based on your blood type. certain foods are avoided and others base up the majority of your eating. Maybe that was it?

It sounds interesting, and I can see how analyzing the blood would tell someone certified what a person should eat more of or avoid... and the process at the end where they gradually get you to eating normally off the diet is a good idea.

But at the same time, it's also just another diet program on the list...
