What is the Cohen's Program

The Cohen diet is a great option for everyone who is trying to lose weight and to introduce lifestyle changes. This is one of the easiest and most pleasant nutritional programs to follow. Just like any other diet, this diet comes with its pros and cons that need to be examined before you make up your mind about it.

Who is Dr Cohen?

Dr R Cohen MD. F.C.O.G. (Wits) S.A. started his medical career in South Africa in the field of Cardiology, and later specialised in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (particularly infertility). He led the internationally recognised Wits Medical School's first Test-Tube Program (in vitro fertilization) for four years and brought happiness to many infertile couples by giving them the joy of becoming parents.

While conducting this work Dr Cohen encountered the impact of obesity and its related problems. This led him to undertake over three years of international research into nutrition and obesity and has resulted in his world-famous 'Cohen Diet' with thousands of successful clients from all over the world, many of whom are well-known celebrities. For several years Dr Cohen was involved in preparing international candidates for the 'Miss Universe' beauty pageant. Cohen clinics are spread over Australia, Asia, Europe and South Africa and he is currently promoting the weight loss diet successfully in the USA. Dr Cohen personally assesses each client and oversees their healthy eating plan.

Obesity Research

The research conducted by Dr Cohen and his partners isolated the hormones involved in obesity and overweight people and led the scientists to the conclusion that obesity is a disease. It has nothing to do with lack of self-discipline, but is a metabolic problem arising out of hormonal imbalances. By re-balancing the hormones via the correct nutrition for each individual, the body will automatically take care of the fat loss and other consequences of obesity. Rather than use costly, synthetic drugs, Dr Cohen's obesity research showed that the best way to address this imbalance would be to use food as the 'medicine' in a natural and safe way.

As a result, thousands of tests on various foods were conducted over a number of years. The outcome was an intricate understanding of what foods and combinations of foods trigger the correcting of obesity-related hormonal imbalances. Dr Cohen used this knowledge to develop a very specific weight loss diet.

The Cohen’s Diet

Stage 1: Personalized Eating Plan

The Eating Plan is the first of the three stages of the Program, and is based on your initial blood test results.  Your individual Eating Plan will be made for you by Dr Cohen based on your unique biochemistry from the results of your initial blood test. Your Eating Plan is designed to create a chemical balance in your body to stimulate the Human Growth Hormone, Serotonin production and lower Insulin levels - the three hormones that Dr Cohen believes to be the cause of weight gain. The Eating Plan that he develops for you is a balanced plan, so it includes proteins, fresh fruit and vegetables - there are no pills, tonics, shakes, seeds or the like.

Stage 2: Personalized Refeeding Plan

This is the second stage of your Program which usually lasts between 2 - 3 weeks and is based on all your repeat blood test results.  It involves a gradual increase in portion sizes, a gradual introduction of new and richer foods—new proteins, new vegetables, new fruit categories, complex carbs like rice, potato, popcorn, processed carbs like bread and pasta, low fat milk, sweet biscuits and eventually alcohol.  It stabilizes your body chemistry and helps your body to adapt to increased portions and richer foods while maintaining your hormonal balance and preventing weight gain.
 

Stage 3: Management Guidelines

This is the final stage of the Program.  People with a tendency to have a weight problem need a different eating strategy in order to maintain the weight.  The Management Guidelines provide practical advice on how much food to eat, which foods to choose and which to avoid, and a set of strategies to help cap the surge in insulin that results from consuming foods such as desserts, chocolate, cakes, and alcohol.  It also includes advice on what to do if you do gain weight.  These guidelines represent the long-term lifestyle changes necessary to maintain your weight.

6-month Support Contract

Together with the Program is a 6 month support contract. Our clinic provides monthly weigh-in and face to face consultations, as well as blood test reminders.  Our consultants have successfully undergone the Program and can assist in helping you adjust to your new lifestyle. 

The Solution - Dr Cohen's Rapid Fat loss and Weight Loss Diet

Dr Cohen's Program is a rapid fat and weight loss diet. It helps clients rapidly reduce their fat in a safe and healthy way. It is not a kilojoules-based diet, nor a high protein diet. The weight loss diet is actually a balanced eating plan. No expensive or exotic foods are needed, only the food already in most people's kitchens. All types of food on the program can be eaten, including various types of red/white meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. No tonics or pills are involved - the food itself becomes the 'medicine', and food quantities and combinations are critical to the weight loss diet. Each client follows a diet precisely calibrated to meet their body's needs, to lose fat quickly and increase their general wellness. An exemplary menu for a Cohen diet follower will be very easy to come up with. A breakfast for example can consist of tea or coffee, natural yoghurt and mango. The lunch can involve chicken and steamed vegetables. The dinner option may be lean beef and a green salad.
