Right.  And once your hungerstat sets, you may venture into other foods for TASTE only.  Keep the volume the same.  Try tasting five different things for a meal.  Wow!  Will you remember those 5 spectacular bites!

Yes please, I’m in, I need some accountability to keep me going, 2 snickers per day for the next 3 days, let’s do it

you are so right, we just eat robotically, without even noticing what we are doing. But let’s be thin thin thin now!

Pia it happens probably because we love eating robotically more than being healthy and thin.

we have two reasons to eat: taste food and being fully.

let’s do together three day of three perfect 5 bites with snickers to work on hungerstat!

Ho Sharon!

tonight I have fall off the trail but never mind!

back on tomorrow!

5BD is a lifestyle not a diet.

a way to remain healthy living in a world full of food .

it teaches control.

A huge congratulations Lettie. So so happy and soooo excited for you. Incredible gift from God. Lettie you are in good hands. You have all that wonderful experience on being with the five bite method and how it all blends in with our life. You focus on being healthy , and looking after yourself which means rests, healthy exercise and small…[Read more]

I want to do it, but part of me just want to stuff my face, but tomorrow is a new day, and I will practice being perfect, then I can stuff my face when I’m super skinny

Hi Pia!  Right.  But I truly believe that you will enjoy food MORE if you just taste a single bite of each item.  The flavors come alive when you eat just a single bite of it.  So, maybe, try and taste five different things for each meal.  Forget about the food you throw away–it’s value is meaningless when were are talking about the value of bein…[Read more]

Hi Pia!!!

welcome back.

Hey Letileti

Congratulations om your pregnancy. And Well done on trying to keep the weight off during pregnancy wish I could have done that when I was pregnant.

I am back again after gaining all the weight I lost last time I was here and a bit more, but now I want to get rid of it, I just need to stay focused, which is really hard, but there’s n…[Read more]

Megan what you wrote express perfectly my doubts

Thanks Dr. Lewis. I am reading every day ten minutes of your book.

I want to be healthy!

Much more than just robotically eating.

Hi Megan.  What you said is correct, and I would ultimately defer to your Ob for advice on how much to gain during your pregnancy–when then time occurs.  But two things: 1. We know that thinner mothers have few complications that overweight mothers, and their babies are healthier, and 2. If you are overweight when you become pregnant, you need t…[Read more]

Hi Letileti!  I hope you and the baby are doing well!

I think you should gain roughly 12K overall–about 25 pounds overall.  I would think from this point you should gain another 17 or so pounds (another 7K).  But of course, discuss this with your doctor.  Congrats!  

Curious about this as well.  I’m not pregnant, but may try for a family soon.  It’s exciting to lose weight so quickly but a little scary to think of gaining it again, even for wonderful reasons.

That said, is there maintenance advice for those who are already at goal and pregnant and a modification for those who may not be at goal and becom…[Read more]

I am wondering how many kgs/pounds should I gain to stay healthy since now till the end!

9 kg? Or 6 would be enough?

50.5 kg feeling sooo tired but happy with myself. Blood examinations are fine. The child is growing up well. US eco are okay.

50.6 kg. Feeling little tired. I entered in my 13 week of pregnancy .

I am happy with myself for having succeding in my aim of trying to gain weight starting from “a reasanoble weight”.

I know that starting from third fourth month I will gain obviously weigh but at least from a starting point which I is reasonable to me.

Nevertheless I need to…[Read more]
