I was not a smoker so it is totally out of the blue, I have no symptoms no pain so am blessed  it was caught in a cat scan I requested because I was suffering with I s and wanted a thorough check

so am so grateful it was Cautht before it had spread so just confined to my lung

I am going to join you though on the five bite…[Read more]

Poppycat, thank you for chiming in with such wonderful advice and encouragement for us. You are great example of someone who overcame their weight issue through 5BD!   However I, too, am very sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis.  You are so kind to reach out to us, especially  in the midst of a  personal crisis.  My very best to you as you o…[Read more]

Hey all!

Gayle, I hope your procedure went well.   For me, a  cleanse/fast is always a good reset tool.  My attachment to excess food calms down after even a short fast.   Being forced by a medical procedure into fast is always a good push forward, LOL

Special times such as weekend events or  vacations are my 5BD Kryptonite, because these…[Read more]

That is fantastic!! So happy for you!!

Thx Mel! So appreciate the reassuring words. I’ve had it done before and I’m good. I am also used to the fasting thing. Going to look at it as an opportunity to “cleanse” and reset.

Have a great day!!

Hey Gayle!  You’ll do fine tomorrow.  The hardest part is the diet and the “cleanse”.  I’ve checked patients in for endoscopy procedures, And have even been allowed by the patients to be in the procedure room to observe the procedures in progress.  Many wake up twenty minutes later from the anesthesia and say it’s the best nap they’ve ever…[Read more]

Hey guys! Had a bit of a challenging eating weekend. Next two days will be focused on a colonoscopy. At least that means liquids for a day and no food. Will do 5B after procedure.

I will still check in w you guys and cheer you on.

xoxo Gayle

I’m so very sorry to hear that!  Please, no worries if you aren’t feeling well.  Take care!  ♥️  It’s a pleasure to have you check in with us.

I will definitely  do my best to be there , I have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer in July so my days are very unpredictable xx

Thank you so much, Poppycat.  It’s wonderful to meet you!   Maybe you could pop in on our meeting next Monday.

Hi everyone ,just popping in to give you lots of encouragement and keep committed and remember why are you are doing this. No other diet works better,than five bite for losing the weight but also the biggest prize is health and your mind shift. I have been with Dr Lewis a very longtime and still to this day if something looks good to eat , I take…[Read more]

Thank you Mel. You are very kind.  I will take your advise.

Carmel, I wanted to mention that I am sorry that you had to deal with a family emergency.  I hope everything will be okay.  Remember to take care of yourself first so you are able to take care of others, like they instruct you to do on an airplane.  Oxygen mask goes on you first, So you are able to take care of the child next to you. :h…[Read more]

With the real food, I was using teaspoons to measure it, and the weight loss was soooo slow last week.  But I’ve already nearly lost the same amount on bars in two days as I lost with real food.  It doesn’t make sense, but I will take the quickest route.  Bars this week, but if that slow down I will do strictly Snicker bars.  I will take your fi…[Read more]

I’ve done real food.  I’ve done protein bars.  I’ve done Snickers. I lose best with Snickers.  My theory is that the real food is harder to eat precise amounts while losing, so maybe i get in more than I realize.  The protein bars don’t digest well and bulk up my system and stay heavy inside of me.  The Snickers burn clean and quick.  Not sure…[Read more]

That’s great Carmel!  I’m happy that your husband tried the diet too.  And this diet isn’t meant to be long term, so I’m all in.  Feeling better quickly while looking well is the goal!  And we’re doing it.

Thank you!  Thank you!  The bars seemed to speed up the weight loss the past couple of days. 1.6 pounds in les than 48 hours.  This may be a very successful week.
