Hi Green Eyes

– you may have any drink as long as it doesn’t contain calories (or very few of them). Once you reach your weight loss goal, you will be able to consume a lot more calories, which means drinking sugary drinks, larger meals, etc. You will figure that out. But for now, water, Crystal Light, Propels, Coffee, Tea (preferably black)…[Read more]

Dear Green Eyes,

If you follow the Five Bite Diet perfectly, you will lose those 20 pounds very quickly and easily–ok, a little hungry for a few days, but then you will feel better than normal. This process gives you the knowledge of how good it feels to lose a lot of weight quickly with minimal effort–thus you will never yo-yo again. You…[Read more]

OMG that’s IT??
I see NOW why they are calling this the gastric bypass without the bypass diet!!
Ingenious to re-train the stomach to expect less food by eating less volume at each meal.
this will be easy for me because I am not a breakfast eater nor a snacker.

Acceptable drinks are water and what else- is iced tea OK?
I don’t like diet soda or…[Read more]

Thanks for the peptalk
I can lose weight quickly, but I also have the ability to gain it rather quickly as well.
I don’t yo-yo up and down with dramatic losses and gains…it’s just the same 20 pounds that I have dealt with since I <ahem> hit 40 about 8 years ago.
my metabolism skidded to a screeching halt, crashed and burned.

Granted I am eating…[Read more]

Dear ItMyTime,

Just get started…I posted the diet in response to one of your other questions. Good luck!

Hi Teresa!

Thanks for joining the forum, and lets have some fun.

20 pounds? That’s it? That is hardy much fun. You could be 20 pounds lighter in less than 10 days. Given that you could achieve your "dream" weight in less than 10 days, why are you pushing for 7 bites as opposed to 5? Yes, you can adjust the bite count, if you need to, but it…[Read more]

Hi Eva. Yes…this whole thing is very exciting. Especially when you achieve that body and health you’ve only dreamed of before.

Please read my response to ‘ItsMyTime’. I outlined the diet there. You can start right away. You will be hungry (a little) for a couple of days, but that’s it! Once your hungerstat has readjusted to the new…[Read more]

Hello ItMyTime,

Welcome aboard! We are going to have a lot of fun helping EVERYONE become thin. This will be readdly exciting. You could get started right away, if you wish. The Five Bite Diet is simple:

5 Bites of anything you can dream up for lunch
5 Bites of anything you can dream up for dinner
Of the 10 bites per…[Read more]

I just ordered the book! Can I have a little insight about how this diet works? I can hardly wait until my book arrives! Thank you.

Hi Dr. Lewis,

I will be sending questions your way as soon as I get the book and read it. I wish I could start first thing in the AM, but have to wait for the book. If this really works, then wow. You’ll be my hero.

Hi Dr. Lewis,

I’m actually new to the site after seeing the segment on Extra. I’ve enrolled and ordered the book and will see what this is all about. I’m intrigued to say the least. The funny thing is I was just having a conversation the other night with my husband and thinking if I ate like those who had surgey eat that I may lose just as…[Read more]

hello! My name is Teresa
I just ordered the book after hearing about it last night on Extra.
I didn’t see the story-but found enough online to pique my interest.

I used to work with a tiny slip of a lady from Bosnia who lunched on a cup of latte and a few crackers or cookies. I thought it was like a prison diet, but she enjoyed it and worked as…[Read more]

Hi Rock…

The key is resetting your hungerstat. That’s everything. Once you feel stuffed after eating a few bites, you will be on the road to extraordinary health. Remember, the reason why we eat is 1) to taste something, or 2) to fill up. Once your hungerstat has been established, what ever that volume is, it will fill you up. And…[Read more]

Thanks for the information. I got the book. I will be reading it tonight.

Coffee? Absolutely. But PLEASE try to avoid putting things into it. Start enjoying the natural flavor of "black coffee", at least until the weight is off. After that you can return to your lattes.

Thanks for information.
I’m glad the hunger is not as bad as I think it’s going to be.
My book should probably come in today but I have a couple of questions which will probably all be answered when I get the book.
I was wondering…can you have coffee in the morning?
Thanks!

Dear RockTheChange–

The whole hunger thing is actually not as bad as I’ve made it sound. Yes–you will think about food a lot the first couple of days, but then you are on the road to an extraordinary future! And…that’s what I’m here for. I will help coach you through the difficult times…as much as you need. Just let me know.

Good luck…[Read more]

Hello,
I am grateful I could login and I am anxious to get started.
I ordered the book a few days ago through lulu.com so I am hoping it will come in soon to explain everything.
From the posts, I get the gist that the it’s 5 bites of food per meal….
I am nervous and excited to get the book and to start but I am scared to death of the…[Read more]

Hi Mini-

I address this beginning on page 65. We are all of different sizes, different activity levels, different ages, different metabolisms. To think that you fit into a model and that one can predict exactly what your body needs to function is crazy. Rather, use the 5 Bite Diet to lose the weight, then once there, figure out how much more…[Read more]
