I lost 35 pounds about 6 weeks ago and then left the program for vacation and "felt like it". I’m back on and this is day 2. It is so much easier the second time around. My "experienced" advice is to eat eactly at the same times each day…[Read more]

They give you less and charge you less so it should be fine. I saw 2 teenagers at Disney Land order a kids meal and slpit it!! No one said anything to them. If you guys/gals are eating at restauarants with that stringent policy….. I’d choose…[Read more]

If I have a craving I force my self to wait until meal time then eat just that for my 5 bites, like 5 bites of ice cream, or brownie, or a hot dog, etc. Snacking, in my opinion, may be the reason we are all overweight!! Good luck.

It is mostly air. You would be starving before you got out of the movies.

Do you have any stats on successful weight loss and how long those successful ones kept it off? I’m concerned about what to do when I finish losing my weight. I’m over half-way there, now, and would like to start making a plan for "after-5 bites".

There always seems to be a point in our weight-life that we say, "I have to do something, now!" This diet is so simple that it doesn’t take any brains, measuring, counting or other diet restraints.

I feel better knowing that my weight loss is "acceptable" and average. If I feel the need to kick up the speed, I may try 5 bites of vegetables for a week. How’s that sound?

I have tried the 2 candy bars per day for the past three days and I am able to endure the sugar but have not felt any more energy or less muscle fatigue. Plus, I have only lost 2 pounds in those 3 days. I’m only 55 and feel 85.
