Right.  I’m not sure where they are getting their numbers, but I suspect that they are gathering data from small, thin people (who aren’t very active).  Your personal data is, of course, what is significant.

Awareness is the first step in breaking a bad habit.

I SO agree, Chloe!

I SO agree, Chloe!

That’s what counts.  Keep improving on the day before.  You WILL fall into a perfect groove if you keep improving every day.

Great!

Very good.  Dr. Meerman, with whom Dr. Brown was collaberating, emphasized that 5% of carbon is lost through urine; the other 95% through breathing.  This was discussed in one of Meerman’s Ted Talks.  Specifically, according to Dr. Meerman, the average weight of carbon in the CO2 blown out in a day is 740 gm; the weight of carbon lost through ur…[Read more]

I think that is important, Gayle.  Create a challenge to live up to prior to going to social events.  Plan out how you are going to execute a perfect 5-bite meal despite the social pressure to eat more.  Plan it out, then execute it.  I love it.  

Thank you guys.  I so agree with Gayle:  If you truly love yourself, then do this for you.  You deserve it!

Lynda – I didn’t read the whole article, but it sounds like Dr. Brown supports what we are saying here, no?

OMG, Allan!  This is ABSOLUTELY the right thing for you!  GERD will absolutely resolve if you lose enough weight.  The ONLY cure for NASH or NAFLD (fatty liver) is significant weight loss, and this diet is the PERFECT prescription.  Most cases of gastritis will resolve with this diet, and IBS should improve.  Diverticulitis probably won’t impr…[Read more]

If you truly want to be skinny, then just do it.  Remember, this diet is YOURS and YOURS alone.  This is YOU.  You are a five-biter.  You don’t need to convince anyone else of what you are doing or the benefits of it.  You just need to do this for you.  In that regard, there is no point in procrastinating; you don’t achieve anything by waiti…[Read more]

Right.  And the 23rd is right around the corner–a mere 2 weeks away!  We, as intelligent beings that can weigh the pluses and minuses of any issue, can certainly “tough it out hard-core” for a mere 2 weeks, right?  If you truly want to have the best time possible on that cruise (in just 2 weeks!), then don’t eat a single thing except for a bar fo…[Read more]

Exactly.  In fact, I strongly encourage you to start cooking again just to further cement your newfound control over food.

– “Just ’cause.”

– “Someone challenged me to stick to 5 bites, so I took ’em up on it.  I will not lose a challenge.”

– “I want to do something that no one else can do.”

Right, Alison.  Don’t let compliments impede your commitment to go all the way and achieve exceptional living.  You are not done until you are truly done.  For now, you ARE a five-biter.  Just be that person, and don’t let anyone tell you you’ve lost enough until you actually have lost it all.

Great insight, Gayle!!  

Indeed!  Great job, Leona!  

Sounds good!  

Fine.  The Magnesium is usually for specific situations, such as a low calcium level or peripheral neuropathy.  The fish oil is fine until you are thin, then it won’t be of any benefit.

Great job, Leona!  You are doing it!  Doesn’t it feel AMAZING!!!!
