Hi,

I ordered my refeed as my diet took way longer than I was told it was going to take and I don't want to do it anymore - my hubby and I want to have a baby. Anyway, instead of falling pregnant and having to go cold turkey I ordered my refeed. I have lost 8 kilos and am now a size 10 and look good too!

anyway, Valerie at the Canberra clinic was a total cow and didn't even want to explain the refeed process to me when it arrived. I left in tears! She even incinuated that I wouldn't get pregnant!!!

So since having such a disgusting time with Valerie and the clinic I have given up cohens all together. Today I have eaten sensibly and have incorporated 1 peice of bread and a portion of cereal and I'm having a liteneasy dinner. So my total calories will be less than 1600 which is what my body burns in a day. So I will be very interested to see what happens on the scales tomorrow!

Has anyone done refeed early or done their own version?

Thanks

Hi wannabeslim

I am sorry to hear that you experienced that, it;s not nice in any situation let alone one where you pay that amount of money and don't get the service. I recieved my program in the mail and they explained it over the phone very quickly i found the clinic where not as helpful towards the end of my program and for me this is when you need it the most.
What do you need to know about the refeed? How many days is yours for?
if you need help with refeed I can pm you and tell you how I went about mine.
Take care now.

Hi Sam,

THanks for your help. I guess I just wanted to know if you could go off the program without puttin on weight. And yesterday I have proved that it can work. I ate like a healthy normal person and still lost weight. Today I have had cereal, and half a bagel with bbq chicken breast, and tonight is minestrone soup with a little bacon, I'll see how I go tomorrow. I have my refeed but I think its a load of crap. I think the program works because it is low gi and low calorie and they scare you into sticking to it with a big price tag and bs about putting on tonnes of weight if you don't follow it. Of course you will put on weight if you eat more than you burn in a day, but so far there is no magic phenomenon where you eat a peice of bread and it instantly turns to fat!
