It is hard, and it takes learning and practice.  That’s why we are here!

Few key things: try and stay away from places where food is being cooked.  Aromas in the air are an overwhelming challenge if you are not a five-bite expert.  Initially after eating your 5 bites you may still be hungry, but remember that the hunger WILL go away quickly.  I…[Read more]

1. Of all the diet programs out there, why did the 5-Bite Diet catch your attention? You get to eat “whatever you want”, just have to limit it to 5 bites–and at least 1 bite needs to be protein. Also, you can lose fast–which, of course anyone would want!

2. Why is this diet better than other diets out there? Again, you get to eat “whatever…[Read more]

1. Of all the diet programs out there, why did the 5-Bite Diet catch your attention?

It is simple. It permits eating with family without strange food. Losing weight is faster than with other diet.

2. Why is this diet better than other diets out there?

I can eat whatever I crave

3. Conversely, why do you think some people instantly blow off…[Read more]

After only doing a half a day of the diary I can tell that something is amiss. There is no way that I could have gained over a pound between getting dressed this morning at 8:00 am and having my first snicker bar at noon!! . I Know exactly what I’ve had to drink and that is : 3 cups of coffee and 16.9 ounces of spring water. I’ve had abs…[Read more]

Ok sounds good ! Will do tomorrow.

GREAT!!!  

Great, Susan.  Do a weight diary, that I have described numerous times on this site.  Specifically, weigh yourself first thin in the morning before going to the bathroom, then after going to the bathroom and dressed for the day, then after lunch, then after dinner, then right before climbing in bed.  Let’s follow those numbers and we should be ab…[Read more]

The single best tip for getting over the first three days is DESIRE.  You have to really want to start this extraordinary journey.  It’s exiting!  It’s fun!  And it starts off HARD!  So, you have to want it above most other things.  THEN, once you decide that being hungry doing away with the fun of eating are no big deal, you are on your way.…[Read more]

So I’ve decided to take a slightly different approach. I am still doing only bars twice a day. But, I am going to weigh myself every day to try to figure out what the heck is going on and why my pace is so much slower than it was last time.

I am less physically active than I was in 2014-2015. Back then, I was managing a hotel and was constantly o…[Read more]

Hi lm12!

As Dr. Lewis says:

“For the first few days you just have to get over the hump! Once you get over the hump then you just have to hang on. And each day that you hang on he gets easier. To hang on.” 

Also, this is something I posted last month that might be helpful for your first few days.

I think it’s great for you to have a plan…[Read more]

So the results are in, after a perfect week. I lost 3 pounds. Yes,  it’s better than staying the same or gaining! But, it’s less than I felt it would be. I feel much lighter, my clothes are much looser, not sure why it’s not translating on the scale??

Anyway, not going to let it discourage me. I lost 3 pounds the previous week, eating regular…[Read more]

1. I have always dieted just to keep myself in the normal BMI and I have always wished to be able to go to the really low BMI between 18-20, to attain that with other diets has been impossible, I saw people who got the gastric bypass lost weight rapidly, and thought I was crazy to wish for such result when I was not obese, but when I stumbled over…[Read more]
