Yes.  It is always worth it.  Also, for those of you who have a longer journey, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of eating precisely.  If you do, the journey becomes relatively easy; it is certainly NOT a struggle.  But you’ve got to set your hungerstat precisely and stick with it.  Eating at that point is fun and adventuresome, as you real…[Read more]

GREAT.  It’s a super plan.  No you just have to execute it perfectly.  Take is step by step.  NO MORE SUGARY Starbucks mochas/lattes until you cross the finish line.  (I do drink them daily, but I’m already at my goal weight.  I choose to go light on lunch so I can have a mocha along with it.  But again, I don’t want you toying with these drinks…[Read more]

Brilliant!  Simply BRILLIANT!!  

Awesome Matt.  I’m really excited that you are here.  We are deficient in male perspectives (other than my own), so this will be great.  Do you drink coffee?  How about having a cup of coffee when you get home around 3:00?

Welcome Matt!  It’s great having you here!  So I’m curious: how much did you lose in 30 days?

Pia: I think Danica is referring to the interview I gave with Gregory Mantell on the Gregory Mantell Show regarding the 5-Bite diet.  You can search it through You Tube.  

Right on, guys!  

I think it helps, Danica, that you know where you are going.  You remember being thin, you remember what it feels like, and you can’t wait to get back there.  The 5BD will ABSOLUTELY get you there FAST.

Shelly, do you remember what it feels like to be skinny?  I know you haven’t been there in long time, but do you remember?  Do you remember run…[Read more]

That sounds wonderful, Letileti!  Your pregnancy should be smooth and beautiful.  Remember: Your baby will take all he or she needs from your body and leave you with the rest, so if anyone goes without important nutrients it’s you, not the baby (with the possible exception of folate).  If you feel good, then all is good.  And if you have a sma…[Read more]

Hi Guys.  This brings up an interesting point:  Often times people like Danica actually cross the finish line before people like Pia.  It’s all about getting into the weight-loss groove and going with it, which is where Danica is now.  Pia, the problem with you is that you don’t have enough to lose in your mind to justify going all the way dow…[Read more]

I love that, Danica!  That way, the next time I’m invited on a TV show, I could bring you–someone I’ve actually never met in person!  Can you imagine how impactful that would be?!  

To be honest, I can’t wait either.  I simply can’t wait to see your numbers.  

Brilliant!  Keep breathing these concepts in.  This is your life until you cross the finish line.  I LOVE it!!

And no–you can never ask too many questions.  

Great, Pia.  The volume here is low, but we did just do a site changeover and there have been some issues we are still working on.  But another way to look at it while the volume is low: You’ve got me all to yourself!  USE ME!  Ask me anything and everything–whatever it takes to keep your eye on the prize and the fire under your butt lit.  

ABSOLUTELY!  I actually expect a lot more this first month.  Focus, focus, focus.  Be PERFECT, and the whole world will be your oyster.  

YES!!  Push through as hard and as fast as you can.  You will be SO HAPPY when you are done that you actually pushed through.  The food that you throw away is waiting for you at the finish line; but please wait until then.

Exactly right.  Wait until you are across the finish line before weighing yourself on a more regular basis–to figure out how much intake is just the right amount for you.  For now, 5 bites will ABSOLUTELY guarantee weight loss at a good rate; I don’t want you jumping on the scale much, but rather all of your focus should be on JUST consuming 5 b…[Read more]

I LOVE that attitude.  One year from now, you will never look back and regret the food that you didn’t eat to get skinny.  I promise!  

That’s fine.  Remember: you ultimate weight will actually be based on how much (or how little) fat is around your belly.  When it’s gone, we’re done!  But that number is usually around a BMI of 18 or so.

I’m so happy to have you here!  Let’s do this!
