Activity

I only go twice a month on this diet. 

Dr. Lewis said it’s not a concern, due to the small amount of food.

He also said not to have fiber, I don’t remember why though.

Welcome to our 5 Bite Community! and congrats on your loss. You are off to a great start! 

I’m drinking over 80 ozs of water daily and drinking more coffee than I ever had in the past. I was also eating 5 bites of Persian stew, which is veggies with kidney beans twice a day. All healthy and natural, homemade. No processed food and very little protein other than what was in the stew.

Yes sir! Today’s been another good day Dr! See you at the finish line

I’m seeing this too late! I’m sorry. I tried to get on at 8:05 (6:05 your time) and it said you were already in a meeting. I thought that odd because I’ve joined in a little late before. But oh well. I hope you videoed it. I’m doing so good. It’s like I’ve found a gear and I’m rolling! It’s probably the sunshine. Whatever it is, I’m not stoppin…[Read more]
