Day 4

165.5, 7.5 lbs down

Lunch: 5 bites vegan pizza

Dinner: 5 bites massaman curry

Killing it! Even trained quite a lot today. Making it boring and pushing through. 

Ok. I will just focus on just the next meal then. Tomorrow at noon. Thank you so much. Don’t give up on me yet!

You could do it in a few months, but you shouldn’t look that far ahead at this point.  Just focus on the next meal.  5 bites.  That’s it.  Then focus on not tasting a thing until the subsequent meal.  For me, socials are a blast when you are doing the diet.  They’re exciting!  They’re challenging.  You have to scout out the entire food layout,…[Read more]

Well,  I ended up at a social thing yesterday and I thought I could handle it. Turns out I couldn’t. Then I have struggled to get back on today. Ugh! I have over 100 pounds to lose and it just feels so overwhelming I guess. If I stayed really strong, how long would it take me to lose 100 pounds? Maybe it would help me to have an end date.

Brilliant.  Don’t change a thing.  Just let the process happen.  

Woke up to 159.2

Day 3 Sat

167 this morning, 6lbs down

Lunch and Dinner: 5 bites vegan pizza

I’m feeling good this weekend. Been training way more than usual, still feeling good. Easiest day 3 yet! Good luck this weekend y’all.

Hi Dr. Lewis

whens the next chat? I’d like to join

Yes for the most part I haven’t experienced the super terrible hypoglycemic moments I had the first time I went through. Knowing that I have done this before helps me relax about the process a little bit better. I know I can do it, it’s just a waiting game now.

Dr. Lewis, did you have a bout with recidivism?

Great, Chloe!  And I don’t know about you, but I found that the second time around on the diet was much easier than the first.  What do you think?

The key is to make the ultimate commitment to crossing the finish line, then just settle into a [boring] routine of 5 bites twice a day.  The first few day you are hungry, but then that goes away and you are flying.  Stay strong!  You’ve got this!  

YES!  You are right on the verge of a major breakthrough!  Stay strong today.  We need to achieve a PERFECT day!  

Thank you!

Day 5

Starting weight 247.          current weight 238

It is definitely getting so much easier. I’m struggling with having a few extra bites here and there. But I haven’t allowed it to derail me like it has in the past. I’m going to try for a perfect day today.

Weigh in this morning 160😃

day 2 starts today

Thanks doc, you’re totally right. It’s just interesting to think about the math on it. It really concretizes what is happening moment to moment as I breathe out knowing weight is being lost.

Day 2

Lunch: 5 bites of vegan italian sausage

Dinner: 5 bites of spaghetti and not-meatballs

Today has been incredibly easy and I even trained parkour for…[Read more]

right.  You may go back to more after you lose the weight, but let’s focus on getting the stomach flat first, OK?

thank you Dr.Lewis ,, its wine that i must reduce after work lol

Yes.  If a bar is truly 8 bites for you, then I would allow you to eat 8 bites, and EXACTLY 8 bites, at every meal.  But, a couple of things:

1. If your weight starts to stall, your bites are getting too big.  And when you are eating more than 5 bites, the difference in volume become magnified.

2. Our objective is to taste the food and to fi…[Read more]

Oops.  Stay strong.  If the hunger becomes intense and drives you toward the kitchen, remind yourself how uncomfortable the pain of stomach cancer is.  That should help to turn you around.

GREAT!  Welcome!  You WILL see the scale move down … a lot … without changing a thing that you eat.  But you do have to eat just 5 bites of it.  Your hunger will set quickly, and you’ll be on your way to exceptional living!  I can’t wait!
