Hey perfect day warrior! Did you finish already?

Enjoyed your chat!  How are you succeeding?

How is your new plan working for you?

Keeping accountable to the ghost board – haha!

Had another decent week. My wife and met in Houston for a little getaway. We only get to be together once or twice a month. So those times are important to us. I had a few more than 10 bites each day, and a couple beers by the pool. Our late afternoon poolside cocktails are a cherished time for us to…[Read more]

Welcome Rosemarie!  Archived chats are awesome!  Dr Lewis keeps the focus on the only things that matter.

Pretty amazing really that this isn’t shouted from every mountain. Amazing that it’s ignored so much by society…

And really… anyone with eyes can see that the hospitals and doctors offices are full of overweight people.

I think we often want to debate all smaller issues (which may be valid) and ignore the one BIG issue because we don’t want to f…[Read more]

Oh and watch the archived chats

I am a beginner myself.  I lost a couple years ago and disappeared and recently joined back.  I think the tip I have used is drinking water when I feel like I just can’t continue without food.  I also have to space my meals so my dinner is about 3 hours before I go to bed.  Any earlier and I am too hungry.

Thank you! Your before and after looks amazing. Any tips for a beginner?

Welcome!

Jello is tough.  It become a liquid immediately, so it’s like drinking a soda–or a diet soda–or something in between.  Frankly, I don’t like it.  Instead, get your sweet fix, however you do it, in your five bites twice a day.  Let me ask you this:  Can you remember 10 individual bites of sweetness from just yesterday?  How about from the day b…[Read more]

Thank you for your response! Yes I have definitely stretched out my stomach but have found ways to eat around it! I think the 5 bites is exactly what I need right now. It takes exactly 5 bites for me to feel full without liquids. Question, if I want sugar free jello at night for something sweet, would that count as a bite?

Welcome Rosemarie!!

Not a thing.  Nothing changes.  But it’s great that you’ve had the experience of eating so little.  Now you can keep it going much longer–in fact, all the way to the finish line.  Instead of relying on sutures to control your appetite, you will learn an even stronger mechanism: your hungerstat.  When you’ve set it to a give…[Read more]

Oh my goodness.  All of the metabolic diseases that we know of that are associated with overweight and obesity–diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, dementia, asthma, GERD, arthritis, liver disease, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, and ALL CANCERS, to name a few, creep into the middle and upper levels of the “normal” BMI range.…[Read more]

Agreed!

Fantastic thought!  Thanks for sharing!  Let’s do this NOW!

That is me too. When I get stressed and tired and bored I think food will fix it. Usually, the food makes me feel worse. What we are doing is countercultural. We are going against what is all around us telling us to eat and drink. But 5 perfect days is very good!
