Today my 5 bites were (and will be for my 2nd meal as well): 2 bites of salmon, one bite of steamed mushrooms, and 2 bites of baked yam (from Koo Koo Roo’s). I’m starting to write in a journal to deal with any distractions or excuses that try to drive me off my eating plan. Also, I’m drinking water in between my two meals and sometimes I chew…[Read more]

That’s so cool about Dr. Lewis being on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Tuesday! I’ve already set my DVR and can’t wait to see it. Didn’t know if I should start a thread about this – but wanted to comment on this.

Hi Renee — lots of times I have five bites of a grilled turkey sausage (with feta and spinach) on a grilled hot dog bun with mustard and throw away the rest. I’ll have that for dinner. At work sometimes I heat up one of those packages of Ronzoni Bistro pastas. They are really small portions so I just eat five bites and throw away the rest. They…[Read more]

Hey Everyone!! Looks like the boards are getting a little slow and I’m sure as the holidays sneak up on us, not only will we be busier, but the temptation to stray from the "5 Bites" will become more and more tempting..Today for my "5 Bites" I put a twist into my "normal" egg salad…today I added honey mustard to it instead of regular mustard…[Read more]

If you guys follow regimens like this, you will be spectacular in terms of health and fitness in no time. I love it!

On my first five bites I had rice, pasta salade, broccoli salad, enchelada, and brownie (one bite of each). A co-worker brought leftovers from a party last night. I haven’t had my 2nd five-bites yet for the evening. I think I’ll try that Snickers bar!

Perfect! What does that work out to be? $7.00 for 2 days? And you are almost at day 3. Keep going. You can eat anything, just keep it to 5 bites.

Okay, I had 5 bites of my frozen meal (sante fe rice with cheese and beans) and threw away the rest. For dinner I had 5 bites of another frozen mean (Chinese sweet and sour chicken) which worked out to 1/2 the frozen meal. Felt satisfied but went to bed with a slight growl in my stomach as its only day 2 for me. Today, I brought with me some…[Read more]

I am still on snicker’s. I had 2 and 1/2 fun size (they were on sale from Halloween) that I cut up into 5 bites and water. I did that for lunch and dinner. I did the same yesterday and the day before. The weight is dropping (I know, I know, I shouldn’t weigh everday).

Corgi,

Just keep up the good work. I think I also got a migraine the first day or two (I have suffered with them since I was a child so I understand your pain). It did pass and I felt better but it seemed like I even felt bad the 4th day – but I wasn’t sure if I was getting sick or just dealing with the hunger/food withdrawals. I did lose 11…[Read more]

thanks Dr. Lewis and Romanissima, I will do my very best to get past those 3 days and hopefully my head will settle. I will update no matter what on Monday my weight tracker. Inspiration is seeing the numbers go down so very quickly and no other diet can do what Dr. Lewis has come up with. You really do lose extremely fast when you keep with…[Read more]

Hi Corgi,

I’m on Day 3 and I’ll admit that it hasn’t been easy. I’m fighting my way through some hunger pangs but drinking something warm like coffee or tea has been helping. I almost wanted to "cheat" last night and have just a few more bites, but I stopped myself. It’s not worth it and why throw away my progress (although only 2 days) thus…[Read more]

Migraines are no fun, but if you are truly determined to get thin, if you recognize the extraordinary health benefits of getting there, if you want to look and feel amazing for the rest of your life, then you just endure the next few days. Yes, you may get headaches. Drink lots of water. But all of these feels will soon fade, and when you look…[Read more]

Fair enough. But when you do eat, don’t think that because you haven’t been eating that you are ‘afforded’ more than 5 bites for a meal. Rather, this is a really good time to NOT eat more than 5 bites. You will be surprisingly full with just your 5 (small) bites when you do eat! Good luck keeping this up! You can do it!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this thread or any thread…..hope to keep this one going so there is reference for some of the new people and some of us that have been here for a month or so can see what others are eating…..Today (after a few days of falling off the diet) I’m back on it again today and ready for a great week!! Today my…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis!

I am trying my best today – so far just water and no bites of anything.

Now, more than ever, you have to be precise in your five bites. Prednisone has no calories in it, but it does stimulate your appetite, making you more likely to gain weight. You need to fight off the effects of the prednisone by setting your hungerstat precisely, and then never deviating. Even though you are taking prednisone, if you eat just 5…[Read more]

That is so funny Eva, that happened to me. I couldn’t remember if I was on my 4th or 5th?

Hi Andria –

It is exiting to lose a lot of weight quickly and almost effortlessly, isn’t it? But…(I hate to break it to you)…the acai berry isn’t doing it. BUT…if you think it is, then keep it up. Again, there is nothing out there that ‘dissolves’ fat, nor would you want it to (you would burn up), and only MD’s can prescribe effective…[Read more]

Hi Eva,

CONGRATS!!! I am astonished at my weight loss in 1 day as well as my sister, we both lost 5 lbs. I have another 40-50 lbs to go and I will be at my goal a lot faster than with any other diet. I had left over chicken burritto (1/4) as my sister and I shared last night for dinner and still through away one bite! what is happening to…[Read more]
