Wow!  You have been through some really tough times and yet still able to 60 pounds off: you’ve got a very strong will.  Combine that with the 5BD, and “game on” is right!

Thanks for sharing you history with me (us) and setting the stage.  It sounds like you are in EXACTLY the right place.  Your mind is focused on an extraordinary new you, and…[Read more]

Great!  Then let’s work with it to maximize your weight-loss potential.  Again, it is so important for your health that you get the job done that I want you to put other things on the back burner and make weight loss priority #1.  Then commit to five bites and get it done.  You absolutely will NOT be eating like this for the rest of your lif…[Read more]

I love it all.  Great game plan.  Now comes the tricky part: executing it.  But you can do it!!  

OK.  The whole journey is a learning process.  You will figure out what works for you and what doesn’t work for you.  So bad weeks are important too–to point out what you shouldn’t be doing.

While the long-term benefits of being thin are spectacular, you don’t have to wait until you cross the finish line to already reap benefits.  EVERY TIME you…[Read more]

Thanks!  I like those thoughts!  

Great.

The next time you try and five bite a regular meal, remind yourself how AMAZING you are going to feel when you wake up the next morning.  It feels AWESOME!!  

I agree.  Media changes the perception of what normal weight is by focusing on an altered perspective.

Brilliant!!  I love that, Pia!  What you did is EVERYTHING!  That’s it.  You’ll be at your goal in no time.  Even though you are hungry now, just focus on how amazing you are going to feel when you wake up tomorrow.  It makes dealing with the hunger well worth it!

Great job!  

That’s it.  I’ve been doing this for a lot of years.  Untangle the confusion: it’s very simple.  Carbon, by weight, in vs. carbon, by weight, out.  But let’s make it even simpler: 5 bites twice a day.  It guarantees that your carbon intake is minimal, it guarantees that you will be full all the time (after the third day), and it doesn’t limit you…[Read more]

When you are on your cruise you will be inundated with food–and it’s free!  SO, be super aware of this fact, and try and have JUST ONE BITE of each item you want to taste.  Order a burger, have one bite, throw the rest away.  Try the fries–one bite–throw the rest away.  I STRONGLY recommend the sit-down dinners; not the buffets.  The food is b…[Read more]

We are definitely all in this together!  

GREAT!  Ask yourself those questions before you take your first bite.  All of a sudden the extra bites will lose their appeal.  Eating perfectly is so much tastier and filling than just eating more bites.

Hi Rachel!

So you took the first big leap and came here.  GREAT!  Now, can you take the next big leap forward?  Can you eat NOTHING but a Snickers bar, twice a day, water and coffee, for a whole week?  It will challenge your constitution, but the reward is extraordinary.  So, what do you think?  

I LOVE it!!  

Exactly right.  

Great!  BRILLIANT, in fact!!  

It’s amazing how hard it is to throw food away at first.  But as time goes on, it gets really easy.  SO, keep working on this talent until you get really good at it!  

Yes, indeed, Lynda.  You are doing great–PERFECT, in fact!  Fantastic, isn’t it?
