Hi Everyone,

At Michelle’s inspiration and a talk, I’m back! I’m happy to be here with you on the greatest weight loss plan. I’m so glad you are here.

1. Allison, I could have written this post. I’ve had a long enough break. I actually weighed myself and my steady weight holding pattern isn’t working….I’ve gained 3 lbs. I know how….not being on plan and relaxing too much. I ate at 4 restaurants this weekend, and didn’t stop myself or throw away food. Last night, after the last dinner, I said…

Yes, Dr. Lewis said to be sure you don’t have blood pressure issues if you do that. I would talk with him first. Salt in body can be helpful but cause problems too.

As far as diet, it has little carbon so doesn’t matter much.

I’ve done Keto before. I think it’s good basically takes all sugar out which helps a lot of people lose fast. Still, you get 20 grams of carbs on keto. With 5 bite diet, you are eating so little of anything that it really doesn’t matter what you eat. You’ll never do damage.

Still, having said that, I’ve tried bars and I get very hungry within 2…[Read more]

Its good to have a plan for social events as Sharlet recommends.  I’ve successfully navigated 3 social events this week: game night, birthday lunch, hike.  I’m glad I’m getting a grip. Everyone is supportive and understands. Nobody cares what I don’t eat. In fact, they are impressed and curious.

I feel in control of my choices. I’m liking my c…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,  just listened to our last chat for mid-week inspiration.  I like the title Dr. Lewis labeled it: I hope I have good news to share Monday. As always, weekends are hard for me. I’m thinking I’ll take my chicken salad with me, wherever I go. Just this week. Who cares? People will have to just understand I’m on a dietary r…[Read more]

Hi Debra hope to see you in chat Monday night. Sounds like you’re gonna do great. I did 5 bite Years ago and lost 8 then I couldn’t do anymore.  With Dr. Lewis’ help this time around,  I’ve lost close to 20. I’m very happy! 7

Hi AK Girl,

It took a day to devise a plan. Honestly, I don’t plan strategically for holidys, weekends and that’s my problem.

So starting today to Sat I’ll be on plan. I’ve added walking short 20 or 30 min. On Sunday,  I’ll give myself freedom to eat at the brunch and then 5 bite after that. That’s the only way I can tokerate for this…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
<p style=”text-align: left;”>What is your plan to not over eat on Easter? I’m going to a brunch ($40). And, roadtrip too. Yikes. Help.</p>

It’s Saturday and I’ve lost 2.5 lbs. I won’t say only because my body is responding and trying. Still, I want more. I want to lose at least 3 for Monday’s check-in. Good news: I stopped grazing. Everything I eat is very deliberate.  But, I did eat extra 1 piece of fruit and extra bites at dinner a few times (deliberate and conscious).…[Read more]

Hi Alaska Brat,

I love your energy on the chats. Your smile lights up zoom. I’ve had two successful 10 bite days. Something about the last chat was a turning point for me. I think it sunk in that grazing is a problem. I’m better off looking forward to two 5 bite meals. And, your loss and the group in general made me realize I need to do this or…[Read more]

Me too. Always learn something.  This week, I’m going to eat at two specific times and five bites only. The end.

Paul this is an interesting topic about muscle, especially with men. I was just discussing it with my son who is very much into weight training and eating right. I would be interested to hear what Dr. Lewis says. I imagine if you have fat, it’s critical to lose that first and then add muscle later.

Allison, I’ve watched some of the archived chats and I definitely notice this in your face. You are a beautiful person inside and out. I can just tell. So glad you are here to inspire me.

Hi all is there a meeting on Monday labor day? I hope so.
