Thanks Maria!
You can do it too! My goal is to lose 10 lbs in a week. I’m well on my way

Sorry Dr. Lewis, but for me, I have to say it took a full week for the hunger to go away.  That has happened to me each time I’ve tried the five bite.  And the hour before I eat my meals is still really hard hunger-wise.  Also, on the days I mess up, the next day is always very difficult hunger-wise because of this “resetting the hungerstat” dynamic.

This is not an easy process, but you can do it!  I had a slip up yesterday, too.  But we can start fresh today and have a great rest of the week to make up for it.  Best of luck today and this week!

Oh it will happen!

I have been on this diet and forgotten to eat many times.  My focus is always so spot-on, it amazes me every time.

Do something fun to pass the time.  I have been playing computer games, journaling and doing chores to surprise my husband when he gets home.

Dr Lewis,  you are correct, therefore I won’t argue.
Thank you for this reply. Those are great points you made!  On to Day 4, I am doing this and nobody can stop me.

What have you been eating?

Thank you! I just want the hunger to dissipate so I can stop thinking about food every single minute!

Fine.  But you won’t remember dining-in at this particular restaurant in a month (or so), and certainly the memory of the food itself will be long gone.  So was it worth it?  Probably not.  The extra bites will have turned your hungerstat up such that when you try and eat just 5 bites your appetite will crave more.  The extra bites will have adde…[Read more]

Day 3

I had 5 bites of steak, eggs, and potatoes at 11:30  We went to Fort Wayne to shop for my dons suits for my daughters wedding   Then we ate out at a dine in restaurant.  It was amazing to be waited on and the food was outstanding. I took a few bites of everything and then stopped. I had more like 30 bites.

Tomorrow it’s back to snic…[Read more]

Oh, that’s wonderful, Dr. Lewis!  I want to embed this into my brain.

Love it!

Sounds great, Dr. Lewis.  What a wonderful way to look at it

Sincerely,

Hi Sheila!

I think your need to improve your health may be what pushes you over the finish line.  After all, that is why everyone should want to be thin–really thin.

So, with that commitment tightly embedded in your heart and in your mind, let’s do it.  Let’s take a deep dive and go all the way.  You can come to breathe bites 6+ after you’ve gr…[Read more]

Welcome back!
Im on Day 3 and it’s not easy but I’m sure it’ll be worth it. That’s what I’m being told.🤷🏻‍♀️

Yesterday I cut my snickers into 5 even pieces and put a piece on a fork so I can see what a true bite looks like.
It was very enlightening. My family is going out to eat for the first time since March and Covid19 started.
Im eating 5 bites of food and want to make sure my bites is small.

That’s a great approach, Queenesther!  Sometimes you have to use tricks to “delay” what you want, but then it can turn out that your mood changes and you don’t really want it.  But that’s what I like about the 5 bite.  You can have 5 bites of anything.  I love the freedom of that.

Welcome, Sheila!   I am so excited for you!  Your health is going to improve so much.  And it’s very true about not giving up.  This diet isn’t easy, but after trying everything under the sun, I can say that it’s the only thing that has worked for me.  Once again, welcome!

Thanks Maria, I wrapped up the sandwich and told myself I can have 5 bites of it tomorrow, which is now today, and now it’s not very appetizing.

Wow, that is amazing!  Way to go!   As Dr. Lewis said, you are well on your way and the results are going to be incredible.  Keep going, you are doing great! 

Thank you Bk, I was trying to justify eating it but  I told myself, I made a commitment and I take pride in keeping those. 😊
