Dr. Lewis, is there any other food that you can recommend that’s exactly 5 bites?? I want to eat other foods besides the snicker bars, and I was wondering what else I could have. I’m afraid of my bites being too big, eating too much, etc. and I was hoping that there was some other food I could eat that I could be certain with? I don’t want to make…[Read more]

LOLOL!! You are HILARIOUS!! I think a lot of people don’t approve of this diet is because they’ve always been told blah blah blah. I admit, when I first heard of this diet, I was 1 of them. I’ve always been told, read, and heard that you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. I’ve been told MANY times that…[Read more]

Be careful. 1/4 of a sandwich is an arbitrary amount–the volume eaten will change based on the size of the bread slices and on ‘the fixin’s’ in between. PLEASE, no ESTIMATING! I can’t emphasize this enough. OK, prepare 1/4 of a sandwich, but ONLY eat 5 bites of it, then throw the rest away. Good luck, everyone!!Post edited by: DrLewis, at:…[Read more]

You all are doing great! Right now, my five bites consist of half of a chocolate bar. Thats only because at this moment I just want to get the blunt of the weight off before I start experimenting with other types of food But I was thinking five bites for me would consist of a quarter of a sandwich lol

Today I had a small cup of coffee for breakfast.

For lunch I went to a lunch meeting with colleagues and I haven’t had steak for a long time so I ordered steak. It came with lots of french fries and a big salad. I had five small bites of steak and left the rest. I noticed my colleague kept looking at my plate because everyone else finished…[Read more]

I work in an office. For lunch, many times, I took "starkiss" tuna and cracker pack. It was cheap, It contains six crackers, tuna, relish, the works. I threw the last cracker away, but managed to eat all of the tuna. 5 bits, and measured. Good luck to all…you will be amazed how well you feel in a short amount of time.

Well actually I did my weight tracking thing wrong lol. This is actually the start of week 3 for me. But i lost 12 of the 17 pounds in the week 2. Which is still amazing! And Renee, you CAN lose a phenomenal amount of weight in a week, just stick with it, keep your bites perfect and SMALL and drink a lot of water. I believe in you girl!!

Hey, I havent been here for a while! But I have been doing good for the past 3 days! I fasted on Friday (for personal reasons) and discovered that I wasnt hungry yesterday (saturday!). Now today I am still not hungry! Its amazing! I am a self confessed FOOD ADDICT and now I know how to say no to food and I know how to appreciate the little food I…[Read more]

It has happened to me! Recently actually. I decided to stop the 5BD for one day on my birthday and when I weighed myself the next day I was I think 3.5 pounds up. Just get right back on track and soon enough (maybe within a day!) those 3 pounds will peel right back off! But seriously just seeing how much weight one can gain from a day of cheating…[Read more]

You know Dr. Lewis, I’m actually starting to believe you about the hungerstat! Well yesterday I fasted just for personal reasons and today I was gonna continue the 5BD. Well I usually dont have my "lunch" until 1pm but when 1pm rolled around I wasnt hungry! I thought it was a coincidence but now its coming up to my time for "dinner" and believe it…[Read more]

Kizzykay –

Regarding the first question, if a person were 105 they would have a hard time losing 15 pounds a week, unless their five bites were very small. But the more you weigh the more calories your body consumes each day, and thus the typical person here can lose 15 pounds per week. Realistically, though, I would be happy if people lost 10…[Read more]

Well said, Andria!

You do have the willpower, but you also have to want the success. What is really stopping you, face it and deal with it, you can absolutely do this! ABSOLUTELY CAN!! It is so much easier after the first 3 days, I will not lie to you, the 1st day is alot of hunger, but just keep telling yourself, this soon will pass" it is only temporary, and Dr.…[Read more]

Ok I tried to post the instructions and though I might be able to help you with this, somehow my reply disappeared so I’m not so good on getting the answer out there…so I’m trying again

You go the weight page…go to the bottom where it says "share with others" something like that…pick share with forum and not website (I’m not sure about that…[Read more]

And, I hate to ask this, but I wish someone could tell me how to post the weight-loss tracker!! I’m NOT good at ALL with computers:S
Thank you!!

It’s doing AWESOME. YOu know, whenever I go out somewhere, and I see people eating, I’m always thinking of quotes from your book Dr. Lewis. I’ve read it so much, I can just-about recite it from memory. I’ll see someone sitting there, eating this gigantuan burger, and I think to myself, "Who decided the portion-size on that thing??"

As soon as my…[Read more]
