If you really want to lose 20 pounds in a week, you’d probably have to cut down to 3 small bites 2x/day. If you don’t think you need all 5 bites, do it. You’ll get there faster!

Anything else with caffeine?

Hello all-

It has been so awesome to read all of your success!
Congratulations on moving one step closer to your goals.

I have been on and off the program since I heard about it on extra. I restarted Monday faithfully and joined the website which I find very helpful in keeping me motivated. I have done great this week and on my Thursday morning…[Read more]

Hi Kimmie ~ Thanks for the shout out to see how everyone is doing! I have lost 30 pounds so far & half way to my goal of 115 pounds. I have gone off & on many many times, but found new motivation through the chats with the Doc on Monday evenings. I got back on a couple of days ago & have already lost 5 pounds of part of the weight I had gained…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis

I copied my code into my profile three times, it’s not working

I hate coffee…I don’t drink it

Right on, Sweethonesty!

Please keep up on your weight tracking and copy the code into your personal profile–this makes it easier for me to help you out should you start to fall off the curve.

Great, if you are doing well.
I don’t know for sure, but I suppose that you are drinking a lot of coffee, probably more than you are used to. This relaxes the lower esophageal junction, thereby promoting heartburn. You can try Prilosec OTC and follow the directions on the label. If you symptoms do not resolve, though, I would see your…[Read more]

Yes, I’m so excited! this is the end of the first week for me with 11 lbs lost, my goal is to lose all my weight by christmas, but if I lose at this rate every week, I’ll reach my goal by October! This is the easiest diet I have ever been on, my problem is not hunger it’s deciding what I’m going to eat for lunch or dinner and that’s not a bad…[Read more]

The ten bites, all at one time, throws off your hungerstat. You may find that, in future meals, you need 10 bites to fill up, rather than 5. So I say…make it easier on yourself. Never eat more than 5 bites for a meal, and you will always feel full.

Everyone is different, so I can’t say for sure, but she certainly COULD get there in 5 weeks. Realistically, if she stays focused most of the time, it will take her 2 months.

I would just describe to you doctor what you’ve said here, and they shouldn’t have any problem upping the dose. For Adderall XR, 20 is just the ‘starting dose’, and they shouldn’t have a problem increasing it, particularly if your symptoms are not being controlled. HOWEVER, I strongly believe that losing weight will also help you out. So, go…[Read more]

Barbara –

If you are only losing 3 pounds a week at 190 lbs, you are not eating they way I’ve asked. So do this: be perfect, no excuses. A Snickers Bar for lunch and a Snickers Bar (2.07 oz) for dinner. No exceptions. I’m not asking that you do this for the whole diet (of course that would be amazing), but I would like you to be perfect for…[Read more]

I’m going to second what Lattechic said.

Hey there,

I am having to restart too. From my expierence I don’t think it makes a difference whether you eat the snickers or the protein bar. I would personally choose the snickers unless you really love the protein bar eat what will satisfy your craving. I wish you great success!!

Fair enough. But if you truly stick to 5 small bites 2/day, the weight (irrespective of who you are) will fly off your body. Before you know it you will be skinny, and you’ll wonder how you got there. I think it will help you along the way to stay focused on the finish line, and, after all, you ‘are not hungry’. So why eat and delay the journey?
