Activity

Definitely had some slip-ups, some intentional, some not so much. I think self-sabotage has reached its peak with me and it’s time to put an end to it. The only way to get started, is to actually start – and commit. There are a lot of pieces of my own advice that I need to take in, but most importantly is accepting that it’s a learning process and…[Read more]

Poppycat,

Sometimes likes life can be a tad distracting with our attention being drawn from one thing to another. Being with your at her end was a great act of love. Be proud of what you did for her. May she Rest In Peace!

But now welcome back to our 5 Bite home!  I’m glad you’re back and I wish you well as you continue your journey to a pers…[Read more]

BK, I just read your post. This journey is perhaps long, it is certainly a challenge, but in the end You are meeting the challenge for your peace of mind and heart and for the health of your body. I know that when I did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 I was a total couch potato. After I lost 100+ pounds I was then able to race up the tallest buildings in…[Read more]

Constant over eating and I’m back at square one again. I’ve been reading Susan’s old posts about her journey. I really need to focus on the reasons for getting this done. I keep making excuses to have extra bites and then I just eat more. I make zero commitment to myself and convince myself that tomorrow will be the day I stick with it. I think…[Read more]

Thanks, BK!  Your support is a blessing for me!

So great!

Jas, I am glad you are here.  I have been with Dr. Lewis since October 24, 2006.  This is my second round on the 5 Bite Diet. I can happily say that you can trust Dr. Lewis for the best possible advice.  Count also on my support, best wishes, and prayers! Stay Strong!  Stand Tall!  Sean

Incredible stories!  I know myself that without the 5 Bite Diet in 2006-07 I would never have been able to run up the stairs in tall buildings like the Sears Tower in Chicago (103 floors, 2,109 steps) in 24 minutes, 11 seconds or have a 26.2 mile marathon PR of 4 hours, 11 minutes, 54 seconds. Now about 14 years later at age 68 I am back with the…[Read more]

I ate some “normal” food for dinner (5 Bites!) this evening and it seemed quite odd. Next week will be hard as I will be on a retreat with some of my students.  However, I went to Walgreen’s this morning and purchased a week’s stash of Snicker Bars.  I want to make sure that I am prepared if the meals in Healdsburg don’t meet my needs. Thankfully…[Read more]

Fell off my streak!
back to bars tomorrow, definitely need to stick with bars only for at least a week.

Exactly.  And frankly, there is nothing more refreshing than pure, cool water.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I agree 150% with Dr. Lewis.  When I drink plain, pure, cold water, especially with dinner, I sleep much more soundly and even rarely get up to use the potty. I do like Crystal Light, but I am getting used to simpler things.</p>

I’m good with that, but again, there is nothing better than pure water!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks for the suggestion I will try that instead :-)</p>
