Activity

Hi Marlene and Dr. Lewis and everyone! I am just rejoining after 1.5 years away and up about 20 pounds :(.  I was wondering if the Monday night chats still happen, and what time they are.  My daughter has dance class, so not sure yet if I can join (if I have a car full of dance teenagers).  I was looking at the youtubes and re-reading the book, an…[Read more]

Day 5! 131.6. Glad the scale is moving in the right direction. Bar for lunch and prob bar for dinner.

Tomorrow vacation starts. Will do the best I can and want to stay intentional about eating.

Wishing everyone a great day.

Remember, Gayle:  With every breath you are losing weight.  The ONLY way you lose fat is through breathing.  If you are breathing, you are losing fat.

Salt can cause you to retain water, granted, but walking/exercising will make you hungrier and you will end up eating more carbon that what you blow out.  Try–as hard as it is–to not give int…[Read more]

Day 4

I gained 2.6 pounds but only had my 2 bars. Perhaps it could be that I didn’t drink enough water and had himalayan sea salt. Maybe I’m constipated? I will continue like it never happened.

Yes indeed!  You can do the diet anywhere, anytime, and it’s … fun!  Exciting!!

Day 3 (130.8)

Didn’t sleep well last night but not going to let it deter me from having a perfect 5 B day. I have my payday and snickers ready. I can’t believe how much thinner I already feel. It will be exciting to be back in the 120s by Friday. Is there something wrong with me that I am actually enjoying this? Starting to get excited for…[Read more]

You got it, Gayle!  You’ve got everything lined up in order.  Now let’s do it and do it perfectly!

I have to admit, I like the KIND bars as well.  

I find KIND bars very filling. They have a nice nutritional profile with protein and fiber.

You /WE can do it!! I will be doing bars till saturday bcs I will be going out of the country. I will be vacationing with another couple. I will keep to 5 bites but can’t eat a bar when out to dinner.

When I travel I will often to bars on travel day back.

Way to go Marlene! This is so much more fun with a friend!!! And excited that Karly joined us last night. I call 5 bite my secret liposuction technique. We will be skinny again in no time.

Day 2 and feeling great! (132.4)

Thank you Dr. Lewis for always providing me with the inspiration I need to get rebalanced. I posted the blurb below on the 5 B facebook group.

Black coffee and water are my breakfast. It feels so comforting to not be pulled to food. Later – I expect the hunger to approach. For those of us that have done this -…[Read more]

Hi Dr. Lewis ❤️. Sorry for not having answered earlier. At home we were all ill due to the new flu….so It was easier to Stick to 5 bites 😉

Thank you for welcoming me! You make a great point, I have tasted all the food my family is trying to push on may continue to eat it in the future.

I am ready to put my blinders on and run to the finish line!

Thank you so much for providing the one-liners! They will come in handy especially during the Holiday gatherings! I cannot wait to use…[Read more]

Wow!!  It is so wonderful to “see” you again, Letileti!    It looks like you have been maintaining your weight beautifully!  Great job!!

How are you feeling?

You are living in Italy, no?

Great.  I and the few of us here will be your family away from home.   When it comes to food, please listen to me (us) and not your real family.  They love you, for sure, but they may not fully understand what is truly best for you–for your body.  So PLEASE work with me until you complete your journey.

Food is very tempting and fun and all of…[Read more]
