									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can just say that getting past that one week of hunger was so very worth it.  I used to have terrible back and knee problems.  And they almost totally disappeared after the first 20 lbs!  So yes, do hang in there. In the end, I would&#8217;ve been willing to go through a much greater amount of hunger to get the same results.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry Dr. Lewis, but for me, I have to say it took a full week for the hunger to go away.  That has happened to me each time I&#8217;ve tried the five bite.  And the hour before I eat my meals is still really hard hunger-wise.  Also, on the days I mess up, the next day is always very difficult hunger-wise because of this &#8220;resetting the hungerstat&#8221; dynamic.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That&#8217;s a great approach, Queenesther!  Sometimes you have to use tricks to &#8220;delay&#8221; what you want, but then it can turn out that your mood changes and you don&#8217;t really want it.  But that&#8217;s what I like about the 5 bite.  You can have 5 bites of anything.  I love the freedom of that.</p>
