Thanks to everyone for the support!  Not sure if this is the “right” way to do it, but I’m going to wait until 3pm for lunch and then have dinner at 7pm since that seemed to work yesterday.  Still filling up on coffee, diet mountain dew and water.   Fingers crossed that it goes well today too.

Thank you, Dr. Lewis!  I’m glad to be back.  The 5 bite diet has been the only weight loss method that has worked for me.  So here we go!

My first day was actually not bad.  For lunch, I had five bites of shirataki noodles with marinara and chicken meatballs.  Dinner was five bites of deli ham and hummus rolls.  So far, so good.  I was very h…[Read more]

Hi Poppycat.  I was just looking through the forum posts and found yours.  Congratulations on your weight loss!!  That is very inspiring!!  I also loved the quote about hunger pangs being the sound of your fat dying.  I will remember that one!  Have a great week.

Hi Sk.  I know what you mean about doing well and then binging….that sounds the same as what I did last week.  But hang in there!  Sorry you had a rough first week.  The first week is really challenging.  But I have found that once you get past that initial series of 5 to 7 good days, it does get easier.  Good luck for this week!

Thank you so much, Sharon!  I appreciate it.

I feel your pain, Bk!  You are not alone!!   It can be very challenging and discouraging at times, but hang in there.  I just had 3 horrible days in a row.  Today I’m going back to what originally worked for me (a bar for lunch, and five bites of a salad with ranch for dinner).   Once you get past the difficult spot, it will be smooth sailin…[Read more]

Great first day, Bk!!   I use sugar free syrup in my iced coffees too.  I assumed that was ok because it’s zero calorie?  Anyway, you are doing fantastic!  Hang in there!!!

Hi Raya!  Welcome!  7 lbs in 2 days???   You are doing great!  I love your idea about setting aside the 5 bites and then taking the bites from there.  I struggle with the temptation to take massive bites, so I think I will use that method too.  Good luck and congrats on starting off so strongly.  You are going to do great!! 

Hi Megan!  You had your baby one month ago and you are already back….that’s so inspiring!  You are going to do great.  Good luck, and hang in there! 

Thanks, BK106381!  Those are great ideas!  I love watching Dr. Lewis’s chats, too.  Taking extra time for self-care or focusing on what you need to do absolutely sound like great approaches.

Wow, that is wonderful news!!  And absolutely amazing!!   I’m so happy for you.  It’s remarkable that 10 pounds can make that much of a difference.   Keep up the great work!  

Thanks, Susan and skmoss!  Those are great suggestions!   I laughed with the Panda Pop.  There’s a game called Crossy Road that I love, but I only play it on my daughter’s tablet.  I don’t have it on my phone, but I’m going to install it and check out Panda Pop.  A good chunk of my stressful moments are at work.  

Susan, I just wanted to say thank you so much for the quotes!   I’m in my first week of doing the full five bite, and it’s really difficult.  But the quotes have helped a lot.  So thank you for posting!
