Great. Go for it.  I can’t wait to see how you do.  It’s like a really cool experiment, and we all are watching with bated breath to see the results!

Okay, 30 pounds for this competition week.  If I can lose 10 pounds, I’ll start comfortably fitting back into my Previous last phase of fat clothes.  I can’t believe I’m excited about that.  I think it’s because I know I won’t be stuck in them for long, I’m just passing through!  I now have the tools, the friends, and a top-notch doctor on my si…[Read more]

That’s the plan then.  A teaspoon makes for small, reasonable bites, so I’m going to try this for our contest week and see if it works better than using all different foods at my meals.  It’s super easy and I don’t have to think about it except when remembering what bite I’m on.  Thank you Dr. Lewis!

If you stick to a strict 5 bites, you should.  (I don’t care about the calorie count though.)  

Yep!  Another myth busted!

Metabolically flexible?  I’m not entirely sure what you mean other than to say this is the way we all are.  We all metabolize food in the same way, and the end of the pathway for carbon is the same: sugar or fat or vice versa.  But because the total amount of carbon in a Snickers is very low (relative, say, to…[Read more]

Thanks for the pat on the back, Dr. Lewis! It helps… A LOT!

Mel, Glad you understand about talking back to sabotaging thoughts.  Sometimes I feel like a crazy person, but it works! I know what you mean about the backlash of high blood sugar.  It is much more tolerable on 5 Bites. The hunger totally disappeared in 20 mins, once I started to g…[Read more]

I love you talking back to sabotaging thoughts!  You tell them that YOU’RE the boss and you LIKE living in growl city.  I get that growl sometimes in the morning also, but it’s not as bad as if I went to bed with a belly full of food only to wake up to the unpleasant growl seasoned with low blood sugar.  That’s the worst!  Keep battling on your e…[Read more]

Great job, Carmel!  You are on the way!!!

Mel, it was lovely just hearing your peppy voice! I totally respect and didn’t even question you not showing your face.  I’m just so happy you were there! I am cheering us all on!

This morning I woke up HUNGRY! Growling, desiring. Then I heard the voice of “fat talking” trying to leverage me off of my commitment.  But that voice met a brick w…[Read more]

I enjoyed it too Sheila!  I look forward to the competition this week.

Hello,

Is there a replay of the chat?

It was nice to meet you, Sheila!  You can totally do this!  Just set aside what you plan to eat tomorrow and touch nothing else except your non-caloric drinks.  Remember, this is a contest until next week.  *Chariots Of Fire theme song playing in the background

I really enjoyed the chat!  Thank you for understanding that I didn’t want my face shown.  I’m uncomfortable with being recorded, but that’s just me.  It was wonderful to talk with everyone, especially since we are all in the same race.  Dr. Lewis has such a passion for this, you can’t help but feel inspired!

I’m ready for the challenge!  K…[Read more]

Correction… the weight loss challenge MEL presented; Dr. Lewis affirmed and gave us a number to aim toward.  (Gotta give credit where credit it due )
