“Remember that the five bite diet is just a tool  that gets the job done quickly . You are not going to be eating like this for the rest of your life.”- Dr. Lewis

I am losing 0.3 to 0.4 lbs per day. My diet is pristine, 1/3 cup dry roasted peanuts at night. Black coffee and water. I walk 2 miles a day.

Is that weight loss at the right pace?

Some days the scale doesn’t budge at all.

That’s right.  You need to develop a sense of URGENCY.  Every moment of every day counts.  No scales, just 5 bites twice a day.  Focus on those bites, eat just them, and adore them.  Then on to other bigger and better things!

Right.  The health benefits of losing weight and being thin are indescribable.  Truly.  Focus on the finish line, and don’t slow down until you cross it.  There will be plenty of time after that to eat to your heart’s delight.  

Great Results!!! This diet is the best way to go!!!

Since I wanted to make sure, I was ok to continue this diet for a 42 days more, I got my blood work done to make sure my electrolytes were not out of whack.

I got a MAJOR surprise! Not only were my electrolytes a 100% normal, my cholesterol went down from 240 to 170! LDL from 135 to 98!

I’m thinking this answers my earlier question and I am d…[Read more]

Thank you!

I love this quote going into this weekend. Another celebration, my mom’s birthday. But my big goal is memorial day. That’s wh…[Read more]

I lost 4 pounds this week and wonder how much more I would have lost without the plantain incident! 

I didn’t get on the scale but figure it probably set me back a pound or two.

I could have lost a pound that day and instead I probably gained a pound!

As I approach my goal date, I really have to prevent any kind of set back! I si…[Read more]

Good recovery!  Good recognition.  Again, the end is so spectacular that staying the course is the best thing you’ll ever do!  

I’ll ask Chris about it.

let’s see how it goes, it’s been only 2 weeks so far.

Yes. Dr. Lewis. I am. However I had done the 5 bite diet 2 years ago and entered weights for 6 weeks. It will not let me add any more weeks.

Slipped up Monday night and drank some beer. And then had too many plantain chips.

Here is a true life example of a slippery slope in steps:

1. I’ll just have a sip or two of my husbands beer

2. Wow! That’s good. I deserve to have my own.

3. 16 Oz beer  & empty stomach = good buzz

4. Now I have the munchies, I haven’t had anything to eat fo…[Read more]

“The extra bites are just as much about letting yourself down then anything else. It’s a slippery slope and where do you draw the line? Once you’re feeling down, you’re going to continue down that slope. So don’t even go there.”- Dr. Lewis

Really, Runningyogini?  Your weight tracker isn’t updating?  Are you hitting the “Add Weight” button after you put in your weight for the week?  

How about bite-sized Snickers?  

The key for you, BK, is to make it one day further than you did last time you started the diet.  Your short-term goal is to be PERFECT for more days this week than last week.  Next week we’ll see if you can’t beat how well you do this week.  

Wow! Your discipline is inspiring! You only 5 bites total at dinner? Why did you choose to not eat 5 bites at lunch as well? Just curious!
