Great!  Don’t slow down!!!

Shelly – I have had luck just telling myself no snacks are allowed.  The yes/no brain decision is much easier than trying to moderate snacks.  I also watch the clock.  If I wait until 1 pm at least – my day goes better.  If I eat lunch earlier – I have a hard time getting through until dinner. At 10 am I take my caffeine.   Cheering you on!!

Hi Shelly.  Yes, working from home with a stash of food 20 feet away is a problem.  You just need to satisfy your oral fixation and/or boredom with something other than food.  Coffee (I know you are not a coffee drinker) or tea is a free “go-to,” and sipping on hot, hot water is always (surprisingly) very effective.  Chewing gum is another goo…[Read more]

Thank you Dr Lewis and Gayle!!!    You both know just what to say.

I quit when I<b> have doubts </b> about the 5bite diet.  My minimum will be 140 for now.  Max 150

Doubts:   Snickers bars…full of sugar. So creating doubts…..when I am trying to lower my sugar…that is hard for me to comprehend.

POSITIVE:    3 weeks ago I got a CPAP machine.  Tha…[Read more]

Shelly!!  So happy to see you here. I have received great inspiration from you on the archived chats!  I look forward to “meeting” you on the zoom chats.

Oh my gosh Shelly!!  So happy to see you!

Feeling very motivated!! Let’s keep the momentum!!!

Hi Shelley-

I am so glad you’re back! You have figured out that gluten doesn’t work and you’re feeling better. That’s great! I also tried big volumes of low calorie food, and although that can work for maintaining weight, it is not a good method for losing weight. It also can definitely make us gain weight when we want to eat foods other than…[Read more]

Wow.  Thanks for pulling me into your world, Shelly.  This is ABSOLUTELY–without question–the right place for you.  Now is the time.   Lose the weight now before more consequences of the extra weight set in.  Food can be great, but it is nothing if you don’t have your health.  Let’s get healthy first, then go back to eating for the enjoy…[Read more]

Hi Gayle!   I’m glad someone is back I know.  You can do this.  You’ve done it before   5 bites  2 times a day.  take it hour by hour

Shelly

Cannot wait to review last night’s chat!  Keep going!  Your wedding is such great motivation!

I really want 7 perfect 5 bite days! Last night’s call connected the dots as to why extra bites completely slow down the weight loss process.

I want to be 127 pounds by Monday. That is going to take some hard work and I’m going to do it. NO EXTRA BITES

Today – tuesday – I had a power crunch bar. Dinner soon – 5 bite meal or bar.

It was a great call last night! I’ve been working with Dr. Lewis for approx 7 years to maintain my weight loss and I learned so much. Don’t want to add anything with carbon which is everything except water.

Yes!  The swelling in your legs will ABSOLUTELY resolve when you lose the weight.  Granted, you most likely have simple “venous insufficiency” and not lymphedema, the latter of which is associated more with morbid obesity.    Regardless, losing weight is how we can cure both of these conditions–and losing weight is the ONLY cure.  Surgery may…[Read more]

Great, but next week’s chat is iffy.  I will be in the Galapagos, and as I understand it their WiFi connection is hit and miss.  Regardless, you’ve got this, Allison!  Extra bites are so meaningless and insignificant.  Others can have extra bites, but not you.  No!  You are going somewhere that others only dream of!!

I fell asleep early and just woke up again – I was not feeling well today.  Hope to join next week!
