Dear Babe
I have not seen Dr Cohen's diet, but you can judge for yourself. The things to look out for are: Does the diet regimen cut out whole food groups, such as carbohydrate? If so, then it is unbalanced and will in the long run lead to problems. If the diet regimen uses a well balanced diet that includes all the food groups and is not too low in energy (not less than 1500 cal a day), then you can probably use it with success. Combine dieting with regular exercise to lose all of that weight.
Good luck
