Thanks, gspeech!

Went out to dinner with a friend tonight. One of the first things she said was, “You’ve lost weight!”

Yes!!! I want to see that dream. My son, the health-conscious, amazing cook will be proud of me.

Doing pretty well. Had a Snickers bar for lunch today, and for dinner last night.

The weekends are the most challenging, but now that I’m more aware of that, I’ll be more conscious of it. Will suggest to my sister that we split what we order at a res…[Read more]

Welcome back, Catherine. I agree – why bother with anything else? I did OMAD, too, but don’t think I dropped much at all. Dr Lewis is right about this way of eating – and the speed at which it works — if we’ll just do the work. I don’t think we should discount the difficulty of being as disciplined as we need to be on this diet but you can’t a…[Read more]

I want to be able to wear this dress at my son’s wedding (or something equally beautiful) and look great in it! (They’re requesting that everyone wear black.)

BK, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger on this one. I continually ponder why we find it so difficult to break away from the food habit. Please don’t let yourself get to the point where you have a ton of weight to lose. If I thought about the long road ahead of me, I could get discouraged. But at least this diet is fast, which I can’t say for any o…[Read more]

Good to hear, gspeech. I appreciate your encouragement. I also find myself wanting to forage for food simply out of boredom. I’ll check out the book you mentioned.

I was just thinking about the mental aspects of this — particularly the shame of being overweight, and the willpower staying on the diet long-term. For as much as I detest being…[Read more]

Understood. I don’t advocate the blood type thing for weight loss but I’ve been amazed at the accuracy of it, particularly with A types. I’ve literally encountered at least 5 of them that had digestive issues and I guessed their blood type. They’ll say something like “I don’t really like meat but people give me a hard time about it,” or “Meat make…[Read more]

Wow!!!

Thanks, gspeech! I’m not hungry so much as I’m addicted to food. I just love to eat. But that’s working against me in so many ways and I know I’ve lost perspective on what’s normal.

5-Bite is my only hope to get slim by the end of the year — and to stay that way. Other diets are just too slow and I get tired of people telling me that I’m too imp…[Read more]

Weight: 228.4 (4-20-2022)

The great thing is, at the beginning of the year, my weight was 238.2. I began doing various diets – low carb, one meal a day, etc but didn’t stick to them. I know this 5-bite diet is the solution and the only thing that’ll get me to my goal in the quickest way possible.

Thanks Dr 5-Bite! I filled out my weight tra…[Read more]

It’s so easy to get off-track but you can knock out those pounds quickly. Better now than waiting until you have 50 or 100 lbs to lose. Btw, have you ever read any books about blood types? The reason I ask is because you may be harming your body by trying to be vegan. Only A blood types should be vegan. AB can somewhat pull it off. But if y…[Read more]
