Rae. Come on. What are you playing games for? Let’s just finish this thing. Start now–five bites, twice a day. Realistically, It’s just not that hard. So get on with it and get done with it.

I love this!

Anyone out there : start right now : february 15 or 14 for others: start now!

Georgia – for the next few days, LOOK FORWARD to being hungry. You WANT to be hungry. In fact, you want to starve. You can’t wait to get shaky and light-headed. See how much ‘torture’ you can bring upon your body–and prove to yourself how resilient your body actually is. (Love forcing your body to eat the fat more than you…[Read more]

I like this answer Dr. Lewis, from you : ‘…there is no difference in taste between a tablespoon and a teaspoon…’.

It is so true!

I am sorry you are haveing such trouble Judi. You are right drinking and eating do not make anything go away. Just makes your trouble worse. I stopped drinking years ago, not for me. Now I have to stop it with food. It is the same thing. I always feel great when I have succeeded the next day and I feel terrible the next day when I have failed. We…[Read more]

Damage–no, not that we know of. But (and I say this often), there are probably a bunch more usable carbon atoms in “diet” or “0-calorie” drinks than are acknowledged. For this reason, you may find that drinking a lot of diet soda makes losing weight harder than drinking black coffee.

If I don’t take steps right now to change,
when will I?

Anthony Robbins is a world-renown motivational guru. His Personal Power series helped me a lot the last time I listened to it (any library should carry a copy of it, if you are interested). He knows that in order to get yourself to change, you need to utilize the pain/pleasure principle…[Read more]

Went to the Hollywood Bowl last night and munched on a glass of ice all night long while those around me sipped champagne and ate popcorn and french fries. The aroma was intoxicating.

Welcome Downsizing!
I too have battled my weight since my teenage years. It has been a constant struggle for me but now I’m on my way to healthy weight & finally being ok with my body image.
You can lose 30 lbs quickly if you stick to the program exactly.

Good Luck!

Very uneventful. I was the only one who didn’t forget.

Hi kj,

I like the whole idea of “Doers and Watchers.”

That fits in so well with other “dichotomies” I’ve learned over the years (including the Doc’s two Types: “Want to Be Thin and Healthy? OR “Want to Lose Weight?”)

Years ago I learned of another way to describe the Two Types of people in our world and that would be…

Awesome!!

Yes!!! I love this idea! I want to see pictures of everyone’s left over food just before you dump it in the trash. What a collection this is going to be!

Fantastic, and welcome back! It would be an incredible birthday gift to you to finish the project this time. Imagine how incredible you would feel and BE! I may hardly ever need to see you! (Not that I wouldn’t love to see you, but my goal is to help patients become so healthy that I don’t NEED to see them much.)

Anyway, it sounds as if…[Read more]

sooo… I have been trying to make sure my bites were the right size, that tends to be a problem for me I think… so I’ve started counting swallows. If a “bite” takes me swallowing three times to get it down, it was probably too big. haha. Besides the obvious snickers sizing thing, (the 1/4 c. measurement is very helpful for soups or…[Read more]

I was the same way!! off, on, off, on. I had different reasons, like “its too little food” “you’re crash dieting” “you’ll gain it all back” etc. well……… I’m over it. I can’t live life happily with a cellulitey bod. hahaha I know thats not a word, but hey… it fits. I’M IN!

Perhaps … I don’t know of this study … but a slow metabolism is certainly a more efficient metabolism, and this would (in theory) help you to live longer. But certainly, any extra benefits from a slow metabolism out vastly outweighed by excess fat, so your first objective should be to get thin. Then, if you are at your ideal weight AND your…[Read more]

Thank you for this nice note, Janette. I am truly thrilled for you, and wish you the greatest of success in your career. I am also thrilled that you discovered the true power of this program: It lets you achieve your dream weight, your way, through doable means, and if you “accidentally” put on a few pounds over the Holidays, the 5BD gives you…[Read more]

It shouldn’t matter. Cooked foods may actually have LESS carbon in it, if the boiled water leaks some carbon out of the food. And it’s all carbon in, carbon out. If you like the idea of eating raw foods as opposed to cooked foods, then fine. Eat raw foods. But don’t have more than five bites, total, for lunch and dinner. Good luck with…[Read more]

Oh well. No biggy. Just reset your hungerstat starting tomorrow, and you are back on your way!
