I’ll be honest, Chloe.  I can’t find it–I may not have recorded it.  Sorry.  But I did delete the duplicate.

Wow.  Your insights are so good and powerful, Chloe!  I think you are right on!  Thank you!  Your contribution here is invaluable!  

I’ll second what Lynda says: You DO look better!  Keep up the great work!  

Good recognition.  If we sit around food too long (like after we are done eating), we pick.  Why?  Just ’cause!  And it’s such mindless eating–it serves absolutely no purpose except to occupy time.  So, get the food away, or get away from the food, and engage in any other distraction.  Your life is worth it!

EXACTLY RIGHT, Gayle!  You have the rest of your (now longer and much better) life to eat!  AND … the food will taste better to boot!   

Allan — I completely agree with Chloe and NeedingThis.  They have given you really good advice.  But the bottom line is that this program is all about you.  Do YOU truly want to be thin?  Then just do it.  Bring your wife on board if SHE wants, but don’t let her words or her actions distract you.  Let the food spoil!  It’s just food!  What…[Read more]

EXACTLY!!!  

Yes, Allan!  It’s all about the $$$!  Twinkies are just another form of carbon.

Exactly right, Lynda.  And with five bites–certainly with a multivitamin–theres is NOTHING to worry about!  But the overwhelming majority of people’s attention is on the wrong ball.  Focus needs to be on the fat cell and the extraordinary damage it causes.

Once again, commercial program like WW are not designed to get people to their goal and keep them there.  The 5BD, on the other hand, IS!  

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.
