Hi Dr. Lewis ~ Thank you for your response & added support with this program. I am sticking to the 5 bites as we discussed, but I gained back the 1/2 pound I lost yesterday.

Hi Gomyers ~ Welcome & thanks for your story about the exercising while on this program. I was doing a lot of aerobics, walking & some running before I started the 5BD.
