OK, then.  You’ve laid down the line.  Now go … !  I’m standing here on the sidelines watching and cheering you on!

Also remember this, BK:  No matter how amazing the food looks and smells before you, the same exact thing can be there in a month, 2 months, a year.  Food isn’t going anywhere.  It can wait!  We think, “I NEED to try this, as this might be my only chance to have it.”  But that’s never the case.  You can ALWAYS find a way to have whatever again…[Read more]

Hi Jas!  How are you doing?

Losing weight is tough.  It is a complete change in thinking.  There are SO MANY distractions and pressures that encourage you to eat.  Following this diet is HARD … but so worth it.  When you are done, life will be truly extraordinary!

When someone just gets started, though, it’s touch to change your years of buil…[Read more]

Definitely had some slip-ups, some intentional, some not so much. I think self-sabotage has reached its peak with me and it’s time to put an end to it. The only way to get started, is to actually start – and commit. There are a lot of pieces of my own advice that I need to take in, but most importantly is accepting that it’s a learning process and…[Read more]

Poppycat,

Sometimes likes life can be a tad distracting with our attention being drawn from one thing to another. Being with your at her end was a great act of love. Be proud of what you did for her. May she Rest In Peace!

But now welcome back to our 5 Bite home!  I’m glad you’re back and I wish you well as you continue your journey to a pers…[Read more]

BK, I just read your post. This journey is perhaps long, it is certainly a challenge, but in the end You are meeting the challenge for your peace of mind and heart and for the health of your body. I know that when I did the 5 Bite Diet in 2006 I was a total couch potato. After I lost 100+ pounds I was then able to race up the tallest buildings in…[Read more]

Constant over eating and I’m back at square one again. I’ve been reading Susan’s old posts about her journey. I really need to focus on the reasons for getting this done. I keep making excuses to have extra bites and then I just eat more. I make zero commitment to myself and convince myself that tomorrow will be the day I stick with it. I think…[Read more]

Thanks, BK!  Your support is a blessing for me!

So great!

Jas, I am glad you are here.  I have been with Dr. Lewis since October 24, 2006.  This is my second round on the 5 Bite Diet. I can happily say that you can trust Dr. Lewis for the best possible advice.  Count also on my support, best wishes, and prayers! Stay Strong!  Stand Tall!  Sean

Incredible stories!  I know myself that without the 5 Bite Diet in 2006-07 I would never have been able to run up the stairs in tall buildings like the Sears Tower in Chicago (103 floors, 2,109 steps) in 24 minutes, 11 seconds or have a 26.2 mile marathon PR of 4 hours, 11 minutes, 54 seconds. Now about 14 years later at age 68 I am back with the…[Read more]

I ate some “normal” food for dinner (5 Bites!) this evening and it seemed quite odd. Next week will be hard as I will be on a retreat with some of my students.  However, I went to Walgreen’s this morning and purchased a week’s stash of Snicker Bars.  I want to make sure that I am prepared if the meals in Healdsburg don’t meet my needs. Thankfully…[Read more]

Fell off my streak!
back to bars tomorrow, definitely need to stick with bars only for at least a week.
