Activity

Thanks everyone

Rschel.   I ride for 20 to 30 minutes

I remember before when doing the 5 bite diet I lost 2 pounds more each week.  And dropped a pound everyday I rode.  I still think it increases my metabolism.   But I know dr Lewis said it doesn’t.

Ive learned to breath and eat slow while eating

I’m also eating food that satisfies me.  No…[Read more]

Fantastic, yes!  Eating my second and final meal of the day now.  1/2 snickers and some water.  I eat early lunch/dinner, since I am up at 4am each day, and in bed by 8.  See you guys in the chat tonight!

How do you do an EF?

Hi kelfro! Welcome! I am so impressed that you did 5BD on your own and lost so much weight. Now that you are here, with guided support from Dr. Lewis and the Community, you will be amazed at how much more you can and will lose. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Stress eating is common – I know I suffer from that as well. You got this! Watch the…[Read more]

I love that!  

Great!  You are in the right place.  Now that you are here, let’s go ALL THE WAY!!!  

Great job, Shelly!  

Great job Shelly! 7 lbs is incredible!!!!

Hi Rachel!  Of course, going for a nature walk is a great way to deal with stress and clear your mind.  Susan has some good advice too.

Don’t look too far down the road, except to fantasize about how amazing you are going to look.  But eat so little for so long will seem overwhelming.  Rather, just focus on the next meal.  Just have five perf…[Read more]

^I will check this out.  Great idea. 

Right now I am avoiding alcohol until my mini-goal, as alcohol is exactly what led me off course this week. 

I plan on partaking in a few glasses of wine on my belated birthday trip (on the 13th), then back to 5BD and no alcohol on the 14th.  

Fantastic Shelly!  Keep up the great work.  How often do you ride your bike, and for how long do you ride?

Before returning to 5 Bites I was doing some extended fasting and keto. I met people on line who were doing the same. One lady was recently diagnosed with cancer. 

She is still doing extended fasting and is beginning a EF tomorrow for 5 days. In support of her,  I am going to fast with her for the 5 days. 

I haven’t done EF in a whil…[Read more]

Most of my slip ups start with booze. It is tough but I remind myself that alcohol is NOT part of the program. Abstinence is the way to go. For sure.

I have watered down my drinks to minimize the carbon content. But having none would be better.

Have you tried the Calm App for  anxiety? I have heard good things about it.

Great news!! Every pound lost we are closer to our best health!! 👍🏻

7 pounds is great!! 👍🏻 Keep riding that bike if that’s what does it for you!!

I lost 7 pounds this week.  That is fine with me.  Better than not loosing at all

I loose a lot faster if I ride bike everyday

Also this time if year I hit the beach and don’t bring any money for the snack bar or ice cream truck. I bring black iced coffee and water and I just enjoy the smell of salt water and the sound of the waves.
