Hi there
I have posted a special film for you that I have just made from my trip to the Spanish City of Barcelona.
I really did see some great things and felt inspired by what I saw. The Spanish have a great way of living, they appreciate so much of what many of us we have forgotten, like eating good food and taking the time to talk to each.
Please watch the film and make any comments you have.
Many thanks
Hi everyone
Many people are curious about petecohen.tv, wondering how effective it is and whether it will help them lose weight.
If you really want to see just how effective my 21 day weight loss programme is, not only in helping people lose weight but also in becoming fitter, healthier and happier then have a look at this short film that includes some of before and afters.
I am feeling so positive, its like a switch as turned to on in my head
The thing I love about this programme is that it is just so positive and supportive
The best thing I ever did is find this programme.
PCTV has transformed the way I feel about food, the way I feel about my body and the way I feel about life.
I wonder 'why this is not the most popular way to help people lose weight?'
It was the best 'click' I ever made that led me to find your programme.

Hi everyone
Let me please ask you a question, “What do you think you could achieve in six weeks? Is it possible that you could break some habits and become even healthier, fitter and slimmer?”
Petecohen.tv has gone from strength to strength and we now have more and more success stories and a great community of bloggers who are all positively supporting each other.
I know that people can achieve so much in this time frame and are likely to do it, if they do it with others, and are supported along the way.
What this will involve is getting as many people to start the programme from day one on Monday 15th of June and to go through the 21 days twice. I would encourage you to blog as much as you can using your on-line journal, as you allow yourself to support and be supported by others.
For more details listen to this short pod-cast below
Lets make this Summer special, where we are all feel better about ourselves, have more energy and look great. I personally dare you to do this, whether you’ve never completed the whole programme or you’ve been through it lots of time. Even if you don’t want to follow the 21 days, you could still decide some tools to use and just go for it.
If you are and you are not already a member of petecohen.tv then click here to visit the site and sign up. If you are member just activate your calendar to start on the Monday the 15th of June.
Take care and lets all have a go
Pete

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Losing weight through lifestyle changes can improve or even reverse mild cases of the nighttime breathing disorder, sleep apnea, a new study suggests.
The study, of 72 overweight adults with mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), found that those placed on a diet-and-lifestyle regimen not only lost weight but showed significant improvements in their sleep apnea.
OSA occurs when the soft tissues at the back of the throat temporarily collapse during sleep, causing repeated breathing interruptions. Major symptoms include loud snoring and daytime sleepiness.
Over one year, participants lost about 22 pounds, on average, and the more weight they lost, they more likely they were to see their OSA go away.
Of those who managed to shed more than 33 pounds, 88 percent no longer had OSA by the study's end. That figure was 62 percent among patients who lost between 11 and 33 pounds, the researchers report in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The findings suggest that weight loss through lifestyle change is a "feasible and effective treatment for the majority of patients with mild OSA," write the researchers, led by Dr. Henri P.I. Tuomilehto of the University of Kuopio in Finland.
People with OSA have a heightened risk of heart disease. It's thought that repeated bouts of oxygen deprivation during sleep may, for example, raise blood pressure, which takes a toll on the cardiovascular system over time.
In this study, OSA patients' weight loss was accompanied by improvements in their heart risk factors, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
For their study, the researchers randomly assigned the 72 overweight, middle-aged adults in the early stages of OSA to either take part in an intensive lifestyle-change program or receive standard advice on diet and exercise.
The former group first went on a low-calorie diet for 12 weeks, restricting themselves to 600 to 800 calories per day. They also had several counseling sessions on how to keep up a healthier diet and start an exercise routine.
The positive results suggest that similarly intensive lifestyle changes should begin soon after OSA is diagnosed, Tuomilehto and his colleagues write.
"A more aggressive treatment of obesity in patients with OSA is well founded," they conclude.

1) Change Your Mind
Use the magic number of 21. It takes around that many times of doing things for them to become second nature and for us to form new habits.
For example; go for a walk everyday for 21 days, make sure you drink a certain amount of water for 21 days, exercise everyday for 21 days and then after that time, it will become part of your life-style.
2) Feel Good Fitness
Most people don't like exercise and that's why they don't do it. What you need to do is ask yourself the question, 'What's in it for me?' Take a moment to focus on the feeling you get when exercise is finished. With that feeling in mind, just go and do it.
After exercise the body releases endorphins and serotonins, which can also suppress appetite and can stop you from snacking later.
3) Separate eating from other activities
If you want to lose weight have a go at separating eating from other activities. If we eat whilst doing something else, we never really know when we have had enough.
It takes 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain that it's full, you need to really focus on what you are eating. If you can do this '21' times it will become habit.
4) Do you like it enough that you want to wear it?
You eat the food because it tastes good and it makes you feel good- but before you eat it you have to really ask your self- 'Do I like it enough that I would want to wear it?' and focus on that before you eat it.
5) Measure and celebrate your success
Rather than just using scales, as that measures your whole body weight, use a tape measure as you will see more results that way. Measure your success by how active you are, how slowly you eat, write it in a notebook.
If you note down everything you are eating, this will stop you from over-eating because you won't want to write it down in the book. And when you do something well, and you have lost a few pounds, celebrate like you have just scored a goal!
