Hi Andria –

It is exiting to lose a lot of weight quickly and almost effortlessly, isn’t it? But…(I hate to break it to you)…the acai berry isn’t doing it. BUT…if you think it is, then keep it up. Again, there is nothing out there that ‘dissolves’ fat, nor would you want it to (you would burn up), and only MD’s can prescribe effective…[Read more]

Hi Eva,

CONGRATS!!! I am astonished at my weight loss in 1 day as well as my sister, we both lost 5 lbs. I have another 40-50 lbs to go and I will be at my goal a lot faster than with any other diet. I had left over chicken burritto (1/4) as my sister and I shared last night for dinner and still through away one bite! what is happening to…[Read more]

Hello Corgi.

As Dr. Lewis stated it is all in the book. I’ve read it about 15 times and still refer to it. I can answer your questions and thank you for asking. First of all I felt everything during the first 4 Days. I would find myself up in the middle of the night just pacing. It was hard, very hard. I told myself, over and over again,that I…[Read more]

No. But it operates on a slightly different platform, so you much first logout, then log back in by clicking on the weight tracking button. Let me know if you still have problems.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the words of encouragement but I would have to lose 20 pounds by Thanksgiving!!! 4 weeks!!!

I tried using the "weight tracking" but everytime i click on it, it takes me to the "subscribe now" page even though I am already logged in! Is there something wrong with it?

Thanks,
Marina

Hi Corgi!

Even though the above question was addressed to Roy and not me, I’d like to respond.

First, when I did this (I lost 60 pounds in 30 days), I DID have headaches the first couple of days. But not after the third. The headaches stem mostly from lack of hydration (which I was previously getting the the extra food I was eating–‘dry’ food…[Read more]

Hello romanissma! Welcome back!

20 pounds in 1 1/2 months? Are you kidding me? You could do it, fairly easily, in 2 weeks. You just have to want the weight off badly enough that you are willing to ‘inconvenience’ your life for a couple of weeks to get there.

One of the biggest bits of advice that I can give you, other than to read and…[Read more]

Hi Roy,

I had planned to start the 5BD nearly 2 months ago but after 2 days on the plan with severe headaches, I fell off and then went to Italy and the rest is history. I am now 10 lbs heavier from all the food in Italy and need to get started again. Can I ask you if you felt headaches at all the first few days and if so, did they stop after…[Read more]

Again, wonderful insight. You are going to do great!!!

Thank you Sonia for this post. Very well expressed. I think a lot of people who read this will agree with your insights into hunger, and this will further buttress their own experiences as well as give people the comfort to ‘jump back on board’ should they ever ‘fall off the wagon’ and eat too much.

I am looking forward to your 1-week weigh-in.…[Read more]

OH GOOD!! I found that if you lose, you feel good, but if you don’t you feel so bad. I guess we should just focus on doing things right like Dr. Lewis said. If we keep going day by day correctly and eat only the 5 bites per meal, our bodies just cannot hold the weight on forever. I have found that my body maintains the same weight even though…[Read more]

Good luck, Eva. Great to have you back. We are all here to help!

Isn’t it funny how there are some people you do not mind telling about the 5bd and others you rather not. Alot of my friends who know cannot believe how I am doing this. I have one friend who has had gastric bypass and she eats more than I do. Fibs I have used for the ones I do not want knowing is I have a toothache or just had dental work…[Read more]

I lost 70lbs in 9 weeks and it cost me about $100.00 (which includes the book) but I saved over $400.00 (at least) in groceries.

Hi Violette – thanks for your encouragement. I am sure hoping to surprise her!

gregswife – I think you’re going to really surprise your friend when you see her!

The Body Bug is something that helps you monitor your calories, exercise, heart-rate, etc. I think the people on biggest loser use it. It is very expensive, $500 plus a $30 monthly fee. You wear it on your arm and you have to input a bunch of info and download to your computer and then plug the body bug in. It is way too much work for me. You…[Read more]

Good idea, what is the "BODY BUG"?? I am sure it doesn’t work as well as this though, so I can guarantee you will jump right in front of her with your tremendous loss!!
