Activity

The first part is exactly right.  Control your hunger by eating only 5 bites for a meal.  You will establish a rhythm of only getting hungry before you meals and filling up on just your five bites.  You can ignore all of the rest of the food around, and you will be able to do it comfortably.

Yes!  Let’s do the chat on Mondays.  I always init…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Dr. Lewis.  My third day (yesterday) was as expected…..Extremely difficult right before my last meal time, but overall, better than the second day.   Unfortunately, my appetite right before my dinner meal (7pm) was extremely intense, bordering on psychotic hunger.  I tried to control my bite size as best I could.  Instead of e…[Read more]

Great.  You are on your way.  The hunger that you describe is very typical and what you should be feeling, but the longer you stay this course the less intense the hunger will become.  I LOVE your mindset.  You are going to do GREAT!!!

OK, Dr. Lewis.  I am going to trust you 100%.   I’m publicly making this commitment right now.  For the next 4 to 5 months (until I get down to 125 lbs), I’m going to eat five bites of exactly the same thing every day for each of the two meals.   I will eat five bites of a ham and cheese sandwich at 3:00pm and then will have five bites of a chees…[Read more]

You have to trust me, Maria.  When you get all the way to the finish line, maintenance will be quite easy.  I can’t remember the last time I became insanely hungry.  It used to happen all the time when I was overweight, but I haven’t had that feeling in 15+ years.  Not that I don’t get hungry from time to time, but it’s really no big deal.  I love…[Read more]

Sorry, Dr. Lewis!   My weight tracker is not correct in terms of starting weight because I attempted to reset it manually.   I originally started on slimming station two years ago at about 188 lbs.   I got down to 147 lbs at my lowest weight, so it was about a 40 lb weight loss.   I then went up to my current weight (215 lbs) during the pandemi…[Read more]

Hi Maria!  Welcome back!  I could be wrong, but the last time you were you you started at 220 for a 71-pound loss, no?

Regardless, you are so right.  Nothing is more important that your health at this point, so let’s jump into the cold pool of water and get it done.  Yes, the first 3 days can be miserable, but they are a heck of a lot better tha…[Read more]

I’m thrilled.  You could have eaten more, certainly, but where would that have left you?  Don’t you feel SO MUCH better right now, after just another day, having stuck to the diet (and maybe are still a little hungry) than you would have felt had you eaten more?  Once you start to feel this way you wonder why anyone who needs to lose weight wo…[Read more]

Today went well. Stuck with bars and no cream in my americano which actually wasn’t too hard.

110 is just right around the corner.  You can smell it!  You can almost reach out and grab it!  Run for 110 as fast as you can, and then you will have the rest of the year to lavish in the rewards you reaped.

Brilliant.  Then while you are in the frame of mind, go hard and go fast.  Be as perfect as you can, as much of the time as possible, and let’s see how quickly we can get the weight off.  Remember, you will never miss the food you throw away.  You will never miss the food you don’t eat or regret that you didn’t eat it.  And when you are skin…[Read more]

Bars only starts tomorrow! Snickers to keep it simple and consistent. I feel like my life is finally back in order so I can focus properly.

Doesn’t it feel amazing to be back in the one-teens already?

Thanks! Week 2 begins today!

I love it!  Go for it!!!

Right.  I give my patient Christmas and New Years as days off.  But now that the new year has begun, be perfect!  After all, why not be perfect?!  There is absolutely NOTHING to ear for that is more important that accomplishing your goals!
