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!!!! 

Hi Michele.  Please pardon me, but the doctor in me is going to come out a little: I would avoid the Adrenal and Cortisol Relief, Gallbladder formula, and Milk Thistle, as they can actually cause more damage than their supposed benefits.  Otherwise you are going STRONG!  I love it!!!  

Great!  I love it!  

You got it, Michele!  Welcome, and GREAT work so far!  The key is to maintain that excitement and determination until you’ve fully cross the finish line.  But trust me: life is INCREDIBLE when you are there.  So let’s sprint for the finish line!!!  

The is no such thing as bad or good food, particularly when you are eating only five bites.  It’s just material–carbon–in one form or another.  Your multivitamin covers the essentials.  Nitrogen (protein) comes in almost automatically.  So your five bites are just for flavor and to curb your hunger.  They aren’t providing your body with ANYT…[Read more]

Awesome, Leona!  You are such an inspiration!  And as you’ve said: this is YOUR diet (whomever is reading this).  No one else’s.  You don’t need to defend it to anyone.  No one is forcing you to eat more.  This is yours, and yours alone, and you are doing it because YOU WANT TO.  

Yes.  You need to ride this out.  Drink water and coffee, but these feelings will go away.

It sounds to me like you are going to do VERY well on this program.  I can’t wait to watch the transformation take place!  

I like that idea!
