Dr. Lewis, Thanks for this word.  I have generally avoided granola bars and such things.  I guess there is nothing magic about Snicker Bars.  When I finish my last six Snicker Bars, I will get some other “treat” to get the last 12 pounds off! Sean

Strawberry! You are not alone.  I first di the 5 Bite Diet in 2006-07 and now I am trying to repeat my previous success.  I know that success in this is partially dependent on community support.  Be assured of my prayers and best wishes in this wonderful, life-giving adventure!  Sean Hallissey

spiderchlome. thanks for your encouraging emoji!!! Sean

beclean, Yes, for us this is perfectly normal.  I  get folks all the time telling me that it is not healthy.  However, being overweight is NOT healthy.  Also, I remind people that even though I am 69 years old, in the last 10 years I have run 15 marathons.  Unhealthy people cannot do that.  I maybe crazy, but with all the Snicker Bars that I’ve…[Read more]

SCS, in fact, not only does the candy bar look delicious, it has become quite normal in these crazy days!  I must admit, though, that when I reach mu optimal  weight I will likely leave Snicker Bars off the menu for a while!!! Sean

Dr. Lewis, you are right.  Snicker bars are not very exciting and I doubt that I will have another one for awhile after I reach my goal of 150 lbs.  I am desperate to break the plateau soon, but I know that I must be careful and prudent.  I am praying and hoping that during This next week I will get close to 159.  Then  I will be in the Fini…[Read more]

Dear beclean!  Thanks for your prompt reply. It means a lot to me.  I remember when I did the 5 Bite Diet as Dr. Lewis’ patient when I was living in Los Angeles loosing the last 25 pounds was very hard.  I have thought about all of the things you mention.  I have been able to be more physically active, mainly riding my bicycle  on the trails near…[Read more]

beclean, Thanks for your kind words and support. I know,  even is I haven’t always acted like I should, that sharing your story is essential.  Ergo, as I head to the Finishing Lane and cross the Finish Line of 150 lbs, you will see regular updates.  I will admit that I am very excited by what I saw this morning. I know that you will find great jo…[Read more]

Poppycat, thank you for your support.  This means everything to me!  From an update that I just posted on the weight tracking site I just wrote this:  It might seem like a small milestone, but for me when I weighed myself this morning and the scale said 169 I was totally excited! For me this is a major milestone to have passed. To use again a ra…[Read more]

Dr. Lewis, what is amazing is that I rode my bike today for almost 25 miles!  I was not practicing for the Tour de France.  I was on the Iron Horse Trail just to enjoy myself and increase my fitness.  I don’t know why I have taken so very long to get to the Finishers Lane, but now that I am here, I just think about the River City Marathon in Sa…[Read more]

Thanks, Dr. Lewis and BK.  This morning when I checked my weight I was down two more pounds!  I hope that I can say that I am on a roll to victory!

Dr.  Lewis,

yes, this I will, this I must do.  I have a question and while I think I know what your response will be, I will ask it anyway. For how long is it safe to only eat a Snickers Bar? I have thought about only eating them for a week. Physically I know that I can do it, but I do not want to do anything too risky.  If this permissible in my…[Read more]
