Hello everyone,
I'd like to offer some advice. Cohen's works fantastically, but does strip your body of muscle as well as fat. This is ok, but if you put weight back on (yo-yo dieting) you put on fat not muscle, when you loose it, then you loose fat AND muscle etc, each time making the process harder and harder and slower and slower. It's really important (in my opinion) once you go to the refeed program, to do light exercise to regain some muscle. You don;t have to go to the gym or do weights, just a couple of push up's/sit up's every night, as well as an easy bike ride/walk up a hill or step up and down stairs.
Having muscle alone burns fat!
Hope everyone maintains their motivation. I struggle on the weekends, but now find it easy as during the week.
