My weight, has been a negative obsession for most of my adult life. The sense of freedom and empowerment I have is something I wish I could share with everyone.

My own obsession dates back to childhood. I went on my first “diet,” the Stillman high protein plan, at age 14 when I weighed a whopping 112 pounds. The diet allowed…[Read more]

Good morning Everyone! So excited to read your stories!! Yes I am a big fan of Dr. Lewis and 5 Bite. I am not on payroll. He has just gotten me to a place that I have NEVER been able to get to with any other diet. My weight, has been a negative obsession for most of my adult life. The sense of freedom and empowerment I have is something I wish I…[Read more]

Thank you 5B girl! And, Michelle, we’ve a bit in common. I’ve had chronic, moderate asthma for over 30 years, but it has much improved in the past couple of years. I, too, find that weight loss only occurs with faithful five-biting using low-carb foods or bars, and I feel great eating that way.

I’ve decided that tomorrow, Tuesday, I’ll begin a…[Read more]

Welcome, Michelle and Sherry!

It sounds like you both know what you’re doing and will reach your goals very quickly!!

Gayle, I love all your encouragement!

Tsang,

Your weight loss story is amazing!! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m so sad to say that I never made it through day 2 (probably obvious by now!) and never got back on track for the rest of the week. Extremely frustrated with myself!!

And strangely enough, after my pep talks against hunger, good food, and social pressure, none of those things led to my downfall. It was a simple lack of focus and motivation!!…[Read more]

Awesome!!!

Hello! I’m Michelle! I’ve been on 5 bite before last year and lost about 45 lbs and I’ve stopped short of my goal thinking maybe I was there. Well…we all know how that can change! I’ve also regained about 8-10 lbs and I need to refocus and get this done. I’m not really sure what my weight goal is anymore (I exercise a lot and honestly I have my…[Read more]

I’m feeling it, too! Saw a quote today, “Dream big…start small.” A small amount of food, that is. My trainer would have me eating six times per day, which would surely cause me to gain six pounds per week. Hunger diminishes when we eat “small,” as we do when 5-biting. The 5B diet also incorporates a nice, long fast, helpful to me in weight loss.…[Read more]

Hi Sherry-

It STARTS with a DREAM and I say… “DREAM BIG”! I had dreams too and Dr. Lewis challenged me to push even further.

I have a tiny waist – before vacation. I have NEVER had small hips until I got close to BMI. I thought I just had BIG hips.

The BAR challenges are great because there is NO guesswork and you get that hungerstat reset…[Read more]

My name is Sherry! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, Gayle. I’m going to spend the next few days acclimating myself to five bites using “real” food, and then I’d like to try a bar challenge. I have done this…the hunger just fades away. It was the weird head/chest feelings that did me in. Looking forward to seeing my 24″ waist…[Read more]

It sounds like you’re so ready to take the next step. You won’t believe the difference in your body when you get close to your BMI. I used to be a gym rat and the results w 5 Bite are so much more dramatic. What is your first name? I will be cheering you on the entire way!!

Congrats to your renewed commitment in yourself.

Gayle

That is a great explanation!!

I will reset first 2 days w quest and then transition to the fun sized snickers!!

Hello, all! I have newly rejoined, after several attempts at 5Bing. In fact, Gayle, I was lurking about last fall when you completed your fantastic journey into the teens! I’ve been put off the plan in the past by disturbing sensations of lightheadedness and extreme fatigue, which, while Dr. Lewis says are to be expected, are a bit unnerving. For…[Read more]

Gayle,
I did reset with 2 Quest bars the first 2 days and began listening to past chats and what struck me was Dr.Lewis saying it’s going to be a hunger anyway and we go through different types of pain ( broken bones, all kind of stuff and we endure, we preserve through that pain -and this would be no different.) There is always going to be a “…[Read more]

You know I’m in!!! LET’S DO THIS!!!

Tammy you are truly AMAZING!!! We have been friends for a while now and I never tire of your story and how it continues to inspire ME and OTHERs.

2 Fun sized snickers a day! Now that is interesting. I will start with my typical quests and then maybe wean my way down to 2 fun sized snickers. I usually do NOT miss what i do not see in front of…[Read more]

I read somewhere (don’t remember on which site) a really interesting thing:
The best two bites when eating is the First one and the Last one. So tasting a food should be just 2 bites and skip all the additional in between.

They say that Victoria Beckham practices 2 bite tasting when eating from a buffet…

4 lbs down this week. Not great, but not bad considering I had a few treats.

Today I had
6 bites baked beans for lunch
2 bites feta cheese, 3 bites carrot and cabbage salad for dinner

Also had 2 bites sweet bread (followed the “Just Taste” rule )

Well done! Great energy!!! :cheer:
