With just food as your medicine,
the Cohen Program allows you to lose weight fast and keep it off safely and
effectively.
For most of us, losing weight is
a major challenge and losing weight fast and keeping it off is even more
daunting. Now, there is a safe and
effective way to lose all the unwanted pounds without going through extreme
procedures like liposuction or the risk of side effects from diet pills and injections.
The Cohen Program is an
individually-tailored weight loss program that allows all types of people, such
as housewives, busy executives, students, and even those who don’t have time to
exercise, to lose an average of 8 – 10 lbs. in a month with food as medicine. The program corrects hormonal imbalance
and is developed by Dr. Rami Cohen, MD, an international specialist renowned
for his research on hormones involved in obesity and weight loss.
Dr. Cohen’s research identified
HGH, insulin and serotonin as responsible for obesity. HGH preserves muscle tissue and breaks
down fat; insulin which regulates blood sugar levels and therefore stops hunger
pangs, and serotonin, which tells the body when it is full or satisfied. In people who suffer from “obesity
syndrome,” the HGH level is low; unnaturally high levels of insulin are
released, and serotonin is not discharged correctly. As a result, obese people constantly crave food and, despite
how little or how much they eat, they still gain weight.
With the Cohen Program, Dr. Cohen
personally develops an individually tailored Eating Plan. Each person undergoes a blood test and
the results are used to analyze their unique blood chemistry. A personalized eating plan which
triggers the body’s natural ability to shed off fat rapidly and safely is then
developed to restore hormonal balance.
The Eating Plan consists of three
meals a day taken in specific quantities from the basic food groups of protein,
vegetable, fruit and carbohydrate.
No exotic or expensive food needs to be purchased. The essential formula is the specific
quantity and combination unique to each person.
Fight obesity with proper
nutrition and a healthy lifestyle
The specialized Eating Plan is
followed by a short, stabilizing Refeeding Program, to reintroduce rich foods
without upsetting the balance created by the Eating Plan. This ensures that the weight won’t be
regained once a patient 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
Philippines.
“Following the personalized
program precisely will allow the body to correct the chemical imbalance
naturally. The Cohen Program is
also a safer, healthier and cheaper alternative to invasive procedures,” says
Barbara, herself a beneficiary of the program.
Some have tried the Cohen Program:
Others who have benefited from
the Cohen Program include consultant Rescina Bhagwani, fresh graduate Karen
Gayle Sison and entrepreneur Jeffrey Tan.
Prior to the Cohen Program, Rescina tipped the scales at 210 lbs. She lived a sedentary lifestyle and
loved indulging in buffet meals. “My
close friends and I would also dine at least twice a week,” says Rescina. Karen weighed 220 lbs., a result of her
“eating here and there” lifestyle.
In college, she says, “I practically lived fast food every day.” Compounding matters was that Karen “believed
that every problem can be solved by making and eating food.” Just like Karen, Jeffrey loved to eat like
it was a feast. Making matters
worse was Jeffrey’s sedentary lifestyle, making him a hefty 291 lbs.

Eventually, the unhealthy eating
habits of Rescina, Karen and Jeffrey began to take their toll. Rescina got tired easily and her blood
pressure was always elevated at 170/110.
Karen’s menstrual period became irregular and she was soon diagnosed
with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). “I suddenly was at risk not only for infertility but also diabetes
and cancer,” says Karen. For
Jeffrey, being overweight made it difficult for him to achieve even the
simplest of tasks. “Picking things
up from the floor or just tying my shoe lace took a lot of effort,” says
Jeffrey.
Fully-committed to transform their
lives for the better, Rescina, Karen and Jeffrey enrolled in the Cohen
Program. In 10 months, Rescina
shed 86 lbs, while Karen and Jeffrey lost 90 lbs. and 120 lbs, respectively within
8 months. Needless to say, they are thrilled with the results.
“I.m out of medication for hypertension,
I can play an hour of badminton or do yoga and not feel tired and I’m now ready
to take physical activities for sustained health,” says Rescina.
“My life became better. I started getting my monthly periods, I
feel happier and livelier than I ever did before,” says Karen.
Jeffrey
says, “I feel light, agile, everything feels easy to do. I even do 120 push ups each morning to
complement my daily morning exercise.”

The life-changing benefits that Karen,
Jeffrey and thousands of other satisfied Cohen graduates continue to inspire Barbara
and her colleagues Regina Chuavon and Dr. Angel Rodriguez-Bandola.
“The Cohen Program is very simple to
follow. Food is the only thing you take. There are no injections, exercise, diet
pills, meal replacements or special foods, simply the food already in your
kitchen. Best of all, you
don’t have to starve yourself on the program, as it is a balanced eating plan,”
says Regina.
Fight obesity with proper
nutrition and a healthy lifestyle
For Dr. Bandola, the growing rate
of obesity-related diseases like diabetes and hypertension is a major concern.
“As with any disease, prevention is
always the best form of medicine and the Cohen Program therefore makes for a
sound health investment,” says Dr. Bandola.
The positive results enjoyed by
countless of other Cohen graduates spur them to continue to save and transform
the lives of those affected by obesity.
“We see our work at the Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre Philippines as an
advocacy. Our mission is to
transform lives and help Filipinos adopt a healthy lifestyle. With 1 out of every 4 adult Filipinos overweight,
we know that the Cohen Program will be able to help a lot of people. The Cohen Program is about spreading
the message of hope and encouragement to those looking for a proven, safe and
sustainable solution to obesity,” adds Barbara.
