Hi there
I hope you don't mind me just butting in like this, but I have just registered with this site and am so happy to find fellow Cohen dieters!
I am in regional WA and have no clinic here, so have no support group and am desperate to find some, as I feel that this is too hard to do on your own.
I have been doing this for 4 weeks now, and tomorrow is my 4 week weigh in and blood test. I must say I was rather hoping to have lost 7kgs in the first 4weeks as i was lead to believe i probably would, but am lucky if i will lose 5. I started at 72.6kg and now weigh 68. In the last week I have only lost
400g! So a bit disappointed.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal. Is there really a weight loss cycle? If so how does it go. Does exercise make any difference to the rate of loss?
On a lighter note, I have already picked up some wonderful hints from here, such as keep cheese meals down (I was eating it regularly for lunch). Also lately I have been very hungry, but I realised this was due to the fact that I was eating apples everyday for my fruit. And on the subject of fruit, I've noticed that the apples and oranges I have been buying have been rather large, which I guess could be contributing to the slow rate of weight loss.
Well looking forward to any replies I may get
