I third that idea!

I am having a lovely bubble bath thinking 🤔 about how I am going to conquer and challenge myself with my meal tonight and I read this incredible piece of writing from dr Lewis to a member here in December about how to deal with a five bite meal

I will put it down below  so I have had a change of plan for my meal tonight which will be as…[Read more]

BK,

I agree with Sharon Marie. Daily checking in  is good as is a food journal. My daily journal is a log of my weight every day.  I take my weight and write it down first thing. For me this motivates me for the day. Most importantly, this is a a journey that we are all together. My prayers and best wishes are with you. Stay Strong! Stand Tall!

Sean

Ps I am also only going to weigh once a week , every Monday morning

I am here with you BK. You can do this. Checking in and writing every day really does work. It jolts you’re brain into keeping on the right path. We know how we can go off plan so easily at the beginning but when we are resting g our hungerstat, I find I have to be 100% focused and checking in on the slimming statIon every day. It surely does w…[Read more]

Well I’m resetting once again after an indulgent weekend. I’m going to include a daily food journal on here to help keep me accountable.

I only do gentle yoga and stretching and totally agree with you Dr Lewis that strenuous exercise does indeed increase my appetite.
So with it being a Monday morning and a muddled long weekend away in Pittsburgh I climbed onto the scale and starting at 134.7 today. Determined and focus , coffee and water , snickers bar for lunch and five bites of…[Read more]

Distractions are great.  Yoga would serve as a wonderful, time-occupying distraction.  Going for a nature walk would do the same.  Other great ways to control hunger: Bundle up and get WARM, drink hot water, and anything with caffeine.  Exercise will temporarily suppress hunger, but the hunger comes back with a vengeance an hour or so later, and…[Read more]

It truly is incredible in how miraculously snicker bars work in filling us up and also feeling satiated. Well done 👍 on sticking with the plan for the day and being brave and open about what you are doing with your friends. Sooooo proud of you for doing that.  Incredible weight loss too, such a huge motivator to see the scale Down 2.5 pounds.…[Read more]

Sharon Marie!

Thanks for your note. So far my weekend is going well. I am with a group of my boys from the Catholic High School where I am the chaplain.  We are in the middle of a senior retreat. The setting is beautiful. Even this retreat is helping me stay focused on the diet. At Lunch today at first I was afraid to eat my Snicker bar for l…[Read more]

I would absolutely do a week of snickers only just to reset the hungerstat to the perfect amount in your tummy and then you can transition to healthy food if that is more your preference. I am not Dr Lewis of course but we will see what Dr Lewis’s reply is.
hope you are having a good day Sean and that the weekend is going well. I am still away i…[Read more]

Yoga is a great idea to help with times of hunger. I will have to try that!

You got this! That’s a perfect amount of time to see some real results. Excited to hear about your progress

Dr. Lewis,

I haven’t eaten Snicker’s exclusively over a course of several days.  I think the most that I’ve done is three lunches in a row.  Let me ask you very seriously, do you think that I should consider only eating Snicker’s for, say, a week  twice a day?  The small portion would not bother me too much, but I wonder if that is a “he…[Read more]

Great, Sean!  It sounds like your hungerstat has reset!  Do you think it has set?  How long have you been eating just Snickers?  Do you think you can keep doing (until you are thin) what you’ve been doing over the past week?
