Wow!! Today is the second day I am on it and I just weighed myself and I am down 3.5 pounds… It sounds unreal!! But I do have over 100 pounds to loose!!! Sounds like you will be reaching youre goal very soon!! Congrats

Well, I’ve almost been on it a week now, and I’ve lost 7lbs so far.

This is the second day my scale didn’t show any weight loss so I’m going strictly with snicker bars which is easy and cheap for the next couple weeks.

I haven’t cheated so I have no idea why my weight isn’t dropping.

Good Job…. How long have you been on this diet and how much have you lost???
This is my second day.. And I think I am doing pretty good so far…

Don’t worry about the fat content!! You can’t get enough fat out of five bites of lard to make a difference in your health! On the other hand, DO WORRY about the fat on your body. Trust me…you will lose your fat if you ONLY eat 2 Snickers Bars in a day!

I forgot to mention this– I think it’s AWESOME that you’ve only had 1 day where you’ve experienced NO weight loss. WHAT a difference that would make on my body!! I remember my husband and I were doing Atkins (what a nightmare) and after I lost 20lbs, I went WEEKS without weight loss, even though I was still sticking strictly to the diet. I…[Read more]

I was tempted to eat the Snicker bars, but I’m just a tad concerned about the fat content, so that’s the only reason I haven’t done it. I’m just eating lean protein for either my lunch or dinner.

Kathy, are you psychic or something lol? A few months ago, I was enjoying a cup of tea when I saw something written on the tea-bag string-label-paper-thing (if you can understand that LOL). It said, "Your body is the temple of God." I cut it off and taped it to the top of my computer monitor as a reminder for myself all the time.

That does make a lot of sense… Today is my first day so I am trying to figure out what I can or cannot do without cheating..LOL Thanks for the info

My response: try it. If it works for you, continue. If it makes you hungrier, stop.

See, now I heard the opposite. I heard that chewing gum stimulates the salivary glands, which signal the stomach to ‘expect food’, thereby making you hungrier. I do know that back in 1983 my mom used to smoke, and she actually quit by chewing Wrigley’s spearmint gum lol, so thank God for that!!
I heard smoking makes hunger go away too, but no way…[Read more]

Yeah, I think the battle is really in the mind (not the refrigerator) but old habits are hard to break. I’m using this "discipline" to bring me closer to God. He created me and lives within me so He is interested in my best. I see eating without thought and to excess as a sin, so I’m trying to repent from putting food before God. My prayer…[Read more]

Dr….

Ive heard chewing gum makes hunger go away??? what do you think do you recomend this?:

Thanks for your response.

We sound so much alike and it’s good to know I’m not the only one who’s experiencing this. I haven’t cheated to save my life but I haven’t been that active lately so I’m wondering if that plays a part.

I have to weigh myself every day too, can’t help it. I’d be really disapointed if it went up even an ounce so I don’t…[Read more]

Diane, I am in the same boat! This week I am doing the snickers 2x a day and since Monday, only 1.4 lbs. down! I have not cheated because I cheated on the bites last week but I find it a bit discouraging – I want the weight to melt off like the week before. I also weigh myself every morning, have to do it. I have never before been able to lose…[Read more]

Klculmer –

If you haven’t settled your hungerstat and are always hungry, you are varying the amount you eat from meal to meal. Keep your meals to 2 only, eat them about the same time, and ALWAYS eat just 5 bites. Tough? Well, only in that it requires a lot of concentration, but after day 3 you should have no more hunger. Good luck!

Great observation.

I know personally, whenever I "just feel like" eating, I grab a cup of coffee instead and have that. Instant cure.

Congratulations! I got my dtr to do this with me. We are starting our 4th week. I’m hungry all the time. So is she. We are really doing the diet just the way Dr. orered but haven’t lost my appetite. I only have 40 pounds in all to loose, so I’m going to hang in there. Any tips?

Awesome hon! You are such an inspiration!!
