Activity

Sure.  Of course.  The key is to eat something of the same size and volume until your hungerstat is set precisely to that amount, then you are free to eat anything you want as long as it, too, is that exact same amount (5 bites worth of food).

I know I can! Can I eat a different type of bar that is the same size in ounces? I don’t like sweets, especially snickers. Perhaps a protein or granola bar?

Hi Angela!

You can absolutely lose an intense amount of weight if you put all of your efforts into following the diet.  If you are that serious about achieving a state of health and fitness utopia (and everyone should be!), you are definitely in the right place.  You’ve had success with this diet before, but now let’s push it to the extreme.  …[Read more]

That’s huge.  A really good day can start a momentum shift that will ultimately take you across the finish line.  Now that you’ve got one perfect day under your belt, and knowing that the second day should be even easier, make it happen.  From now on, and until you are skinny, stop eating after 5 bites.  You won’t remember the 6th bite tom…[Read more]

Yesterday was my 2nd vaccination.  It went pretty well.  I was feeling irritable and tired by the end of the day, and chose to not eat dinner.  Today I woke up feeling better, and just finished my first bar for lunch.  I feel like making it through yesterday was a turning point for me, and I am excited for a better week than last week.     Let’…[Read more]

Well, that time of month came for me yesterday…thinking that was causing the intensity level of my cravings.  Had two not-so-great days in a row.   Improper planning on my part…had I known it was coming up, I may have waited to start 5 bites next week.

I am still here though, and back on track today.  I will not give up!

OK.  What’s done is done.  The great thing is you didn’t have much of a set back.  So, start fresh today!  As soon as you finish your first meal having stopped at exactly five bites, you are going to feel GREAT!  You’ll feel like you didn’t miss a step.

I kind of messed up the last three days. It has been a national holiday and food was abundand. We were invited to my mother’s house and she also packed food for us to take when we were leaving. Fried stuff and everything.  I ate more than i should. Not bingeing like i used to, but more than my counted bites. I did not gain the last three days,…[Read more]

Maybe go and take a long pre-bed bath.  Read a book.  Just get away from the kitchen!!

Day 5, Saturday 3/27

Keeping it real – I caved last night and ate about 20 extra bites.  I need to figure out some ways to deal with the evening binges.

I agree.  You do feel, cleaner, sharper, and healthier right from the get-go when you do this diet … and when you feel a little “empty.”  It’s a really healthy, GOOD feeling!!

No, it really doesn’t happen.  You still breathe the same rate that you always breathe.  If you body were to “adapt” to your intake and you were to stop losing weight, then you must also breathe out much more slowly and infrequently.  That just doesn’t happen.  It would also imply that all of your internal organs are suddenly functioning at a mor…[Read more]

Great points Smaro!

I actually enjoy the light feeling of an empty stomach. I also think faster, smarter and more efficiently when i have an empty stomach. Like i had a good rest or something.

Day 4, Friday 3/26

It seemed impossible.   However, I made it through the night without the extra eating! 

I listened to some audio books about recovering from binge eating.  I also watched some YouTube videos by a popular bariatric surgeon, talking about the need to eat small and the importance of not overeating after surgery.  I v…[Read more]

10 bites a day is my goal and i will get there soon! I will definitely decrease the bites to 18 this week, i want to get there slowly without my brain “realizing” it !!!

I am curious about something i have been reading, dr Lewis… What about adaptation to low calories? Diet and fitness experts claim that after a few days, the body adapts to the…[Read more]
