Danica – great job!! Yes, it is so easy to think about eating, but then when I actually put the food in my mouth, I’m already feeling very full! At bite 5, it’s a feeling of total satisfaction. I actually just had 5 bites of my cheeseburger just now, and feel completely content. Gave the rest to my wife – so more sharing is caring

Dr. Lewis – that is actually so spot on and true. I will definitely be using that as it brings a lot of the accountability back on themselves – and me of course!

Danica – yay, thanks!

Day 11 Entry: 4/20/2018

10 is my favorite number. Boom. 10 lbs lost.

I’m just super excited, guys. This weekend is my middle child’s birthday, and of course…[Read more]

Water in the morning, Coffee in the midmorning, Water in the afternoon, Coffee in the afternoon again, then Zevia in the evening, with water before bed. Working great!

So very true. Bite, not scarf, not inhale. I got my Snickers bars and am going to “practice” with them as I also probably need a bit of maintenance on the bites.

Yes, Dr. Lewis – that is so true. Feel is so important. For me, it used to be about feeling dissapointed or feeling bloated, anything like that. Now, it’s more about chasing those victories and overcoming challenges.

Huge again. Finally under the 205 mark. That is what I have been wanting to be at for quite a while now -…[Read more]

Day 9 Entry: 4/18/2018

Yesterday was a monumental day. I pushed through a couple of tough challenges in quick succession.

The first one was eating at my parents house. We go there everyday after my two boys are done with school, and I’ve said before how great a cook my mom is. For years, I’ve been fed quite well, and it is a significant part of…[Read more]

Yes, when are they? Is it still using Zoom? Dr. Lewis if you need help with anything with Zoom let me know – I’m a bit of a Zoom expert by trade

Truer words have never been spoken. As soon as you fall off, you can jump right back on and expect results. It’s simply reliable and incredible.

Keep it up, Vita! Harness in those feelings. The best thing about this is that you will never be confused and will never need to question it. The proof is in the [5 bites of] pudding!

Day 8 Entry: 4/17/2018

After a rough weekend, and a bit more on Monday, I am glad to be on the right track again. It’s great to know that 5-bites can always be applied, and that food is not a solution to a lot of things that come up, such as being sick. I focused yesterday on Coffee + Water and being very exact with my bites. I even took smaller…[Read more]

Awesome, thanks Dr. Lewis. That’s good to know for the future. I stayed off my computer as much as I could due to the sickness, but I should’ve asked for advice in this case. Just lost focus, but I’m sure I’ll have a solid week now. Thanks again!

Unfortunatley, I got pretty sick this weekend from a bug the kids had. It has not been pretty, still sick now, and my momentum is a bit ruined. I tried my best to focus on 5, but it was quite difficult and I had to listen to my body when it was/is weak.

Despite being sick still, I’m feeling more like myself today, so I’m going to focus on making…[Read more]

Also, I put in the wrong weight, I started at 214, not 213. Can’t edit my post though 

Day 4 Entry: 4/13/2018

Still losing the weight, and still feeling fantastic. The feeling of being lighter just makes a big difference. Not having that feeling of my clothes feeling tight, or my gut hanging over my jeans. Just a lot of energy and a lot of focus right now. Last night’s dinner was 3 bites of prime-rib and 2 bites of cheesecake,…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Lewis! Yeah, I felt like it may have been slightly big. I squished it down pretty good, and left a lot more on the plate than I wanted to. Duly noted though – physically big = big bites. That may sound obvious, but when you’re in bite mode, it’s all about what is going to taste good. Next time i’ll go for a jr cheeseburger or something!

Agreed, the first 3 days are challenging mentally. For me, it’s the social pressure of eating though. My family is big on food as it’s part of our culture – my mom is an amazing cook – so executing 5 good bites can be daunting. However, it’s all in my head beforehand, once I get the food in front of me – it’s a piece of cake….errr…bite of cake.

Yes, absolutely love Zevia. Cream soda for me!

Day 3 Entry: 4/12/2018

Motivated like crazy and feeling very confident in being exact in the bites. I love how I am quite picky on what I eat now because I only have 5 bites, it better be worth the taste! Yesterday was a bit on the unhealthy side, but I was craving a burger. I had a Big-mac for dinner, leaving a bit on the plate as well.…[Read more]

OMG!!!! That’s so awesome, Danica!! I’m beaming from ear-to-ear here (rhyme I know) for you!! I forgot it was Wednesday and your weigh-in day!! Woot. Keep rocking it out, 14 lbs in a week, wohooooo!!!

Thanks, Danica! Trying my best to keep it going!

Yes, Dr. Lewis, thanks for the reassurance. I never thought of it that way, as in being “exact”. That is actually a great mentality to have and much different than the one I had for the weekends, which was just to get it over with and knowing that it will be difficult. I do feel quite powerful with…[Read more]
