I feel like overcoming the “all-or-nothing” mindset is THE key to reaching my goal weight. This is my main focus after struggling to stick to  5 Bites. Practicing stopping is crucial.

I’m sending lots of positive thoughts that the part of your brain—the part that can stop after going a little over—gets stronger and stronger. It’s such an import…[Read more]

Love it!  Makes me chuckle every time!  Hope  you tackle a perfect 5 bite day!  You can do it! Don’t think past the current day!  Just commit to a perfect day!!

I feel so much better now that I am committed again to my plan.  I am not stopping any more for breaks until goal!  No need with my mini breaks every other day!

Thank you Allison. So helpful. I am so happy for you and your success. As I always say #illhavewhatsheshaving 💕

I hear you – and I have been there. The magical thing about the approach I have done is that I learned to change the all or none thinking by doing the alternate day approach. It has been such a gift! It sounds counter intuitive. But it has been a miracle.

Here is why I think that has happened – I am able to keep my 5 bite day perfect knowing I…[Read more]

Thank you for all your support and words of advice.

Elizabeth, it is a long story but my hormones have been at menopause level most of my life. I have seen on and off all forms of HRT since I was 17. Not fun. Right now, I feel better off. I am glad you have found what is right for you. I know it is a big decision and a big adjustment…[Read more]

I love this! Woo hoo! And the best part is a day or 2 of 5 bites and it will be gone like magic

Thanks a lot, just sipping on electrolyte water. I will mostly be the silent observer. But trying hard this time around.

Hi Preet,

You can do it. On days that I feel that I have a lot of stress/workload I may do 5 bites, three times a day.

Or may try Alison’s approach.

Maybe try 5 bites three times a day? It may help you, and likely you will still be on track with losing. And I feel on days I work it’s harder, likely underlying stress.

You may want to ask Dr. Lewis about what he notices in patients that have had success.

I had a bit of an early start to menopause, after a long time of white knuckling it I gave…[Read more]

You can do it! Cheering you on!

Kylie, we are all here for you, and we’re not going to give up on you—Dr. Lewis absolutely won’t either. Maybe consider a modified version of the diet for now? I know I sometimes feel a lot of anxiety thinking about sticking to something for a long time. The fast weight loss is amazing, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t sustain it.

What about inc…[Read more]

restarting with you!

The hunger will get easier to deal with.

I question if I do @Allison.

weigh in was not as bad as I expected but still not great 😶

my hunger is out of control

Yes!!  Weigh and get it done!! You’ve got this!

I am still off track.

As of tomorrow it is 90 days till my next birthday. Seems like a perfect time to get back on track.

I will weigh in tomorrow. I hate to think what damage I have done
