Day 29

Yep easy peazy, just keeping it going until the finish line.

27-28

Still good! Weighing in tomorrow. Coffee, meditate, repeat  ✌️

“‘Discipline’ is a difficult word for most of us. It conjures up images of somebody standing over you with a stick, telling you that you’re wrong. But self-discipline is different. It’s the skill of seeing through the hollow shouting of your own impulses and piercing their secret. They have no power over you. It’s all a show, a deception. Your…[Read more]

Me too!

Day 26

So far so good. No major difficulties. It’s a bit chilly lately, I’m glad I started when I did since I should be done and able to eat a little more when the major holidays hit. That means hot chocolate and things like hot soup to stave off the cold.

Eating this way even for just a little bit has catalyzed my meditation practice.…[Read more]

Day 25

Another day, more weight lost. Energy has been good, spirits are high. I’m just gonna keep checking in so people know I’m truckin’ along.

Yes I do parkour, for years now I’ve been fairly strong despite the bit of extra weight. Good luck to you too. Strength to weight ratio ftw!

Thanks guys

Day 24

Another relatively easy day, it’s getting boring and that’s good. I’ve been just delving into other things I’m interested in. temptations are at an all time minimum, patience is at the forefrunt.

Just saw that you were a pole dance instructor? Super cool! Some parkour people cross train with pole dance because of all the cool bar stuff. We have a bar scaffolding in our backyard to train on. It’s not quite the same but I get a sense of the energy it can take to do stuff. It gets even easier when you’re lighter though! I can swing from 1…[Read more]

Lol Dr. Lewis don’t lose many more weight!!!

Hi Raya! That’s good to hear and helps me push along knowing that I’m setting an example.

Day 22 & 23

Going strong still, making good food, getting the right kinds of habits, meditating a lot, coffee helps, figuring out the game plan for when I am done. My biggest challenge will be figuring out…[Read more]

Day 21

3 weeks in and I rode 18 miles on my bike today! It was enjoyable and easy, I’m quite surprised. I went at a very slow/comfy pace. Excited to log my weight tomorrow to see my progress. zzzz

Yeah, it feels good!

Day 20

I’m doing great! Still! Still?! so I guess I’m farther in than I’ve ever been so to speak because last time I only got to 16 days or so before I started taking “top ups” on the weekend. It started with just doing 20 bites extra but morphed into terribly uncomfortable buffet weekend and then a really hard week of re…[Read more]

Day 19

Easy day today, no energy issues at all. No major circulation stuff. Still had a problem with orthostatic hypotension, but good otherwise.

I did develop some hives randomly and I have no idea what is going on with that. They have persisted for a few days but will hopefully go away soon  hopefully unrelated to what is going on with diet.

Day 18

So far so good, had breakfast instead and did lunch as usual. I think I prefer just doing lunch and dinner. Anyways, meditation and staying in a positive place mentally does wonders. It’s really nice being free of my addiction to food, not using it as an emotional crutch throughout my day. I am operating off of a different food entirely!

Day 17

Made it through!

I think it would be more helpful to stop talking about all the wonderful food I have been eating since people come on here for support. Making a lot of stuff from home, not going over by even one bite. Energy levels weren’t too bad this weekend. Even went for a run!

Cool to see you still going, thought you might have ditched the whole thing. You’re an inspiration!

Thanks doc

Day 16

L: Vegan waffles

D: Homemade bread, and a cookie

didn’t go one bite over 5 on my meals today. Just a new mini french press for myself so I can make coffee quick and easy right after I wake up. Coffee certainly helps!

Day 15

L: vegan pizza

D: vegan sushi

And I had an extra four bites of cookie from home. Should have just saved my fifth bite. Refocusing my efforts to stick to 5 and 5. I know around the 3rd week is where I caved in my first attempt as well. Just gotta get past that.

I’m losing weight a little slower than I did last time but I think that’s…[Read more]

Hi Danica. I’m in Australia and lost some weight on this diet and need to get started again. Dr. Lewis pointed me in your direction, so tomorrow I’m going to get my act together and start. Lynda

Just went back through some of your posts, you’re on a roll! Keep going!

Day 13 & 14

L: Pocket and cookie

D:Pocket and cookie

L:Mcdougall soup

D: Vegan cookies

Finally posting something on the day of. It’s been two weeks of consistent 5 bites! I had a bit of a hard time today with blood pressure. I definitely need to keep my hydration up. Otherwise, doing pretty good. I have felt a little weak but have made sure…[Read more]
