That is wonderful news. So excited for you skinny2020 ,  a wonderful mindset to have for your 44 day journey . It is going to be an  amazing transformation and will be so happy that you are committed to this diet .  We are all with you. I am here too every day with you , committed and focused

Soooo happy you are trying again. I am restarting with you again. Believe you me I have been in all the places you mentioned before , with eating more and a more sustainable plan to lose weight but for me it never ever works. Five bites is the ONLY diet that has ever worked for me and overcome my fear of foods and my eating addiction.

Right, Skinny!  And the results are SO MUCH better and faster than any other diet out there!

Brilliant, BK!  You CAN do this.  It’s hard–indeed–but YOU can achieve a result that but one in a million people ever realize.  You’ve started off perfectly; keep the momentum going.  Just do not eat a sixth bite.  And there is a finish to this program.  Oh: since you’re going to be doing this for a few weeks, enjoy the fact that you can do so…[Read more]

Great.  You’ve got your game plan in order.  Now it’s a matter of just following through.  5 bites.  twice a day.  In that regard, to ensure that you are doing things perfectly, how about going back to Snickers bars?

It’s going well so far! Thanks everyone for the support. This is not easy but I’m staying focused on how I will feel and look by sticking with it. I’ve found these peanut butter snickers and I eat 1/2 the bar for one meal. Really good! 

I did not get a chance to weigh this morning- but later in the day I weigh 203 lbs. I know this is more than I will weigh in the morning but I just wanted to give an update. So, tomorrow I will update my tracker.

I made a chart for myself to track my bites, cups of coffee, bottles of water, and vitamins. I made it for 44 days. So I can just…[Read more]

It’s so nice to have others who are doing this too!

Something that occurred to me while I was reading this thread- this diet is SO good in so many ways, and one of them is that you can eat whatever everyone else is eating! If anyone here has ever been on a ‘restricted foods’ type diet, such as keto or plant-based, you will know that you…[Read more]

Thank you for posting this BK! And for your advice Dr Lewis and Sean! This is helping me today- “not a crumb more!”

That’s wonderful!  “Giving it another try” is where your new life begins.  PLEASE stay focused and, as hard as it is for a few days, do not let that 6th bite sneak in.  Then you are on your way.  PLEASE keep up all updated on your progress.

BK!

I am thrilled with your note and decision to stick with the 5 Bite Diet.  Is it a hard program to be sure, but after having completed the Diet Program in 2007 I was able to turn my life around.  I started donating blood (O-), participating competitive Stair Climbing Races, running long distance including 15 marathons (26.2 miles), etc.  In La…[Read more]

I’m going to give it another try and really work on/focus on setting my hungerstat. Thanks for the support

BK…

I just read Dr. Lewis’ note and while it will take me more time to digest what he said, I just what to affirm what he wrote.  There were times 2006 that I wanted to “bag it,” but I stuck with the 5 Bite Diet.  I know the very real positive effect it had in my life.  After all, what “old man” (as one of my students called me!) takes up ru…[Read more]

Hi BK.  I completely understand your frustration, but let me help you.

First, if you truly want to get thin (and extremely healthy) you are going to have to make sacrifices.  It’s hard!  Look around you … whose skinny these days?  But IF you truly want this, then this program is absolutely the best one out there to guarantee that you…[Read more]

Wow!  That’s a lot of confidence, but I love it.  I think it is REALLY HARD to be perfect on the diet when you are celebrating someone’s birthday, but YES … it CAN be done!!  It’s really important to remember that there is always another “occasion” (birthday, holiday, party, graduation, retirement, wedding, funeral, etc.) and they NEVER STOP!  T…[Read more]

This is my second time through the diet.  While some things are easier this time around,other things are as challenging as they were before. I like to think of this as a journey that I am on with you and the other folks.  Yes, we’ll trip and fall once in awhile,but we get up and continue the journey. I guess that I have learned a lesson by r…[Read more]

Well this is it, I’m officially signing off of the diet. I can’t continue the roller coaster of feeling deprived only to give in and instantly gain back anything I’ve lost. I just end up feeling so bad about myself. I think a plan that involves more eating and a better balance of not feeling so constantly consumed by how little I’m eating. I wish…[Read more]
