Fine.  Then do bars.  The key is to keep experimenting until you find a regimen of food that you can make work with the five bite diet.  Maybe, when you finally do try again with eating “real food” you will try less interesting food at first, like boring fast food items.  Then build from there.  But good luck with 6 days of bars!  Just imagi…[Read more]

OK.  Good.  Keep noting what those triggers to eat are.

Thanks all. I am on my way! I had some extra bites yesterday. Dr Lewis you had mentioned in our Monday call to track what triggered the bites – for me it’s when I get too tired. I get tired and then to try and cope to stay awake or deal with getting grouchy from too much caffeine I have extra bites because I feel like I deserve it and my body j…[Read more]

No, Dr. Lewis, I didn’t honor my commitment. I am down three pounds, but I ate more bites in an attempt to quell the hollow headache and get some sleep. I’ve bought six days worth of bars, and will try the plan that way. I’ve been using “real food,” but I obviously find that food too interesting! Thanks, as always, for your unwavering support of…[Read more]

No I haven’t been able to. Im going back to bars today.

I just have to stay away from the alcohol. Which is pretty easy at home. Tarek doesn’t drink and I’ll make sure I’m the driver when we go out.

Every reason you can think of to evict the fat is a wonderful reason, and I support that reason 100%.

Right.  So, So Cal … another day gone.  Have you been able to stay true to your commitment?

Right.  Don’t give yourself excuses to eat more than 5 bites!  My recommendation:  put the taekwondo on hold until after you’ve lost all of your weight.  Good luck! 

I agree.  It sounds like you are in the groove.  Enjoy your bites when you get them, and enjoy the ability to not eat–and not feel the need to eat–when it’s not mealtime.

Fantastic Laura. You are on your way. Your head is in the game and you can see how much food we can survive on. Freeing from food is amazing and also to est anything you want is fabulous. You are committed and strict and that is the way forward. Keep is the amazing work. Day three for you today Wednesday. Xxx 😘

Hi Bienedp6,

i wanted to tell you that I’ve a lot about that over the last 2 mos and actually “wasted” 2 mos of my Orangetheory membership bc I couldn’t get out of it that fast. $150/ mo. But it was well worth the wasted $300 to be 123 instead of 140, where I was for 5 mos of my hardcore training there.  I was taking low key tennis lessons…[Read more]

Day 2 of being super consistent and strict. Just ease and fun! Had 5 bites of a cookie at lunch and will do a bar at dinner. Will be a later dinner due to errands and the season. Lots of hot drinks – tea and decaf coffee and water. Getting much easier! I love the ability to eat anything. Tomorrow will be a bar at lunch and supper out. Didn’t w…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I need to get through the first week. I’ve been floundering.</p>

I believe this to be true. I carry my weight around my middle. Even though I may have fasted 18 hours prior to a blood glucose test, I’ll still have slightly elevated levels. Yet another good reason to evict the extra pounds.

You should honestly be able to lose 15 pounds.

Wow Dr. Lewis!  I never realized that or thought about the fat being everywhere. I get headaches occasionally and especially sinus headaches.  I want the fat gone but I haven’t committed. Time to get it done!  I am 5′ tall and 195 at this point.  How much weight if I was perfect for a week (bars let’s say) could I lose? Thanks!
