Me too. Always learn something.  This week, I’m going to eat at two specific times and five bites only. The end.

Thank you for this post. I got a lot out of it. I am wanting to start back at the gym two days a week to lift moderate weights. I go back and forth with if I should wait until I get to my goal weight or to start now…because I really like it.

I tend to overthink everything too! But I am learning more and more that as far as food and weight loss…[Read more]

Thanks a lot for this explanation Dr Lewis, this reassures me a lot

Love it!!

Hi Guys.  The body WILL not use the side chain of an amino acid as a fuel source until all fat and sugar is used up.  It’s the body’s last resort to accessing carbon.  It’s inefficient and “costly” to extract the energy from the carbon side chain of an amino acid so we don’t see even strict vegans become protein deficient.  I always turn to nat…[Read more]

Mata I think this is what is  stopping me doing the diet, most forums say lose fat as slowly as possible, to save as much muscle as possible. And of course keep training as well.

Everyone one says keeping muscle is very important especially as you age, I am 61 years old, and still train regular. But been quite fat for many years. The typical…[Read more]

Paul this is an interesting topic about muscle, especially with men. I was just discussing it with my son who is very much into weight training and eating right. I would be interested to hear what Dr. Lewis says. I imagine if you have fat, it’s critical to lose that first and then add muscle later.

Thank you!

I love when the scale is uplifting! Looking forward to chat on Monday!

Yay all of us on the weight loss train!!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks! Jenell – I have a couple of options.  Funny thing is the clothes I have in mind I wore 40 pounds ago – so hoping I can belt them or tie them to look fine.  I tried to find a dress at the store and no luck.  I also have plenty of separates I can pick from.  Tonight I will pack and try on as I go!  I have so much…[Read more]

I love that Alison.  You might never make it THIS PERFECTLY through 3 straight days again, so be perfect this one week.  Just do it.  Then you will always be able to say that you did a perfect week.

I get inspiration fro you too Michelle!!  Thanks for the kind words. Scale was down this morning!!  Woohoo!  I will probably wait until Monday to check again.  But I could feel it this morning so I had to peek!

You are doing so awesome Alison! 5 sizes is a lot!

Thank you for all the encouragement and sharing on chats.

I am focused today!!  Last week – I lost focus.  Still down 1 pound, but this week I am going to be perfect!!

Finally – people are noticing my weight-loss!!  I believe that is fueling me to stay focused!   I know that does NOT make sense, but because I have been chipping away so long without anyone noticing – it was discouraging.  I think it was…[Read more]
