Not much that I would change.  I would discuss more about carbon metabolism at the beginning of the book so that people understood the  basic science: we gain carbon–our fat is nothing but 100% pure carbon–whenever we eat or drink anything except water, and we lose carbon only by breathing.  The amount of carbon we breathe out each day do…[Read more]

You’re gonna get there! This is your time!

Excellent! Mark your calendar. Yesterday was the day you changed for good!

I like that approach!

I fell off but restarting again now.    thanks for asking!

That is so funny, and you are so right, CK!!    I often tell my patients that I feel like the 7-year-old kid in Hans Christian Anderson’s Fable, The Emperor’s New Clothes.  We want so badly to believe what diet companies are trying to sell us to make losing weight easier.  But the technicolor royal mantle (that only the righteous can see) doe…[Read more]

Hey perfect day warrior! Did you finish already?

Enjoyed your chat!  How are you succeeding?

How is your new plan working for you?

I had a few more than 10 bites each day, and a couple beers by the pool. Our late afternoon poolside cocktails are a cherished time for us to…[Read more]

Welcome Rosemarie!  Archived chats are awesome!  Dr Lewis keeps the focus on the only things that matter.

Pretty amazing really that this isn’t shouted from every mountain. Amazing that it’s ignored so much by society…

I think we often want to debate all smaller issues (which may be valid) and ignore the one BIG issue because we don’t want to f…[Read more]

Oh and watch the archived chats

I am a beginner myself.  I lost a couple years ago and disappeared and recently joined back.  I think the tip I have used is drinking water when I feel like I just can’t continue without food.  I also have to space my meals so my dinner is about 3 hours before I go to bed.  Any earlier and I am too hungry.

Thank you! Your before and after looks amazing. Any tips for a beginner?

Welcome!

Jello is tough.  It become a liquid immediately, so it’s like drinking a soda–or a diet soda–or something in between.  Frankly, I don’t like it.  Instead, get your sweet fix, however you do it, in your five bites twice a day.  Let me ask you this:  Can you remember 10 individual bites of sweetness from just yesterday?  How about from the day b…[Read more]
