hii,, im alicia and im Fat how can ii get Skinny again??

Yeah, but cancer cells especially love all that glucose to grow into nice big deadly tumors!

Yes, that is the book. I just got back here so sorry for the delay in response. If you are interested in the giveaway, it will be Nov. 16th on my blog.

And TonyK.. thx!

I ma not a fan of the food on this diet so.... My prob was always sweets, not the meat, heavy cream, butter, bacon & that stuff. I don't even like that stuff so for me to live long term on this plan would be hard... BUT it is interesting to read about it for sure!

thank you for the advice :)

I have started the diet again on November 07 2009

WISH ME LUCK TO GET PAST DAY 1!
thank you

I don't work directly with patients, but I can only imagine some of the difficulties that are encountered with patients that are severely obese. I do know that when SMO patients are in for any type of surgery, we have to run quite a few more preop tests because they are typically high risk. I can imagine the logistics of treatment of these patients requires all kinds of extra costs and someone has to pay for them. Yet there are people out there that don't think that obese people should have to pay more for health insurance, even though they are most often using most of the benefits that the rest of us have to pay in.

The only acai product I've used is the juice you can buy in local supermarkets. Yes, I've fallen into the fad of word-marketing, "superfoods" thinking it would fare better then some of manufactured over the counter drug tablet. The brand I occasionlly buy is Sambazon. I buy the organic 32 oz of orginal blend, trinity blend or synergy. They cost appox 6.50 to 7.50 ea. A little pricey. I usually buy mine from Publix grocery chain here the the Ga area. And I would drink a small cup (6 oz or so) in the morning and late evening before bed. But I not as any type of food substitute. My main reason for using this product was overall health, the whole "antioxidant" thing, yet another word marketing lure. But have to admit I did "feel" healthier...kinda like, taking vitamins, I guess. Though I admit could be just in my head. But lately, I have not brought any (the last month or so, like said a little pricy). But the 32 oz will last approx 3 to 4 days. I don't think its made to gulp like regular juices. It's has a thicker consistancy and sometimes I water it down just a tad bit and its not going to win any best tasting fruit juice contest, lol. But just wanted give my opinion and at least if you don't like it you can chose simply not to buy it from your local grocer. Also, you can check out the brand at www.sambazon.com (not trying to sale you anyting, just info on this particular brand. :)

Unless you work in health care, you really can't fathom how massive a problem it is. Everything, from the simplest things such as starting an IV, transporting a patient, etc, to surgical techniques, outcomes, and morbidities are negatively affected.

I thought there wasn't supposed to be any shaming in this post.

Why is it always *men* who are saying "Why should you worry about what people think?"

And the answer, for women, is that we are judged more harshly than you men if we look "bad" or "strange".

All cells feed on sugar (glucose), not just cancer cells.

What was the dieting pill you took !

I'm glad too I found this. Now I know it's not just me who has oh the awful GAS! That's not a topic people want to talk about often. These bars gave me more gas than when I drank prune juice. And that ends after you go to the bathroom, but these bars last forever and a day!

Quick update.
i started the 5 bite diet this past monday november 2nd.
On monday I weighed 123.2 pounds, and had 26.5 % fat
This morning saturday november 7th I weigh 119.2 pounds and have 25% fat.
I have also lost 1.5 inches around my waist.

So it's a slow and steady weight loss, considering I have about 5 more pounds to lose.

hang in there !!! I have done the same.... I have lost 32 pounds with the 5 bite, and then stopped , didnt put on any weight, but got seduced by other diets!
They didnt work....
I just know that no matter how hard this one seems, it works , so well, and so fast.
So you do "suffer", but for less time. And you don't actually suffer for long......just the first few days!

As Dr Lewis says on the youtube video, it's not even about the number of bites.
He tells his clients that they can do 6 bites, or 12 bites....
So you can pick a number of bites, eat them slowly, and see how you feel.
just stick to a number of bites. You are automatically gonna reduce the amount of food and calories you consume.
then when you feel ready switch to 5 bites.

Some people on this thread have been doing 15 bites 3 times a day.
It's whatever works for you!
Once you stomach get used to much smaller portions, it will be easier to get to 5 bites!

In any case, good luck!

Is there anything that can be measured on how much nor epinephrine and serotonin is developed on which ever exercise
Ive even done push ups and pull ups and sit ups
Only difference is my physical structure

Or is this those type of depression relievers which you force yourself to be proud of your achievements

Exactly. I couldn't agree more.

hey yall!!

the warrior diet..
and another tremendous failure it was =[
well thts ok!

back to the old diet plan eh?

As a postscript, I said previously my weight was 206 and falling. It is now down to 192, mostly thanks to exercise, plus now doing a food diary- eating as I said previously 2000 calories a day. I think the "hunger" that Cloud claimed that exercise causes is mostly in the mind- it is in no way physiological. I think Cloud's problem is that he didn't enjoy exercising and therefore he felt the need to reward himself. If someone does an exercise that one enjoys, like I do biking, then one doesn't have to exert as much self control and therefore this can be used in improving one's diet, which as I said, doesn't have to be quite as restricted in calories if one exercises. It still has to be balanced and healthy, however.

have you seen my hair gel?

Soungs great, as long as the bouncers turn away all the good looking and in-shape people who try to get in.

Please visit Dr. Plastics. A better alternative is to liposuction your fatty cells from undesirable areas of your body. Then we can transplant those fatty cells into your breast or buttocks to reshape your figure into something more "modern."

anything to make my girlfriend skinnier!

sure, if you are looking for a fast and easy way to kill off all the fat people, cram them in a room and make them dance until they can't dance no more!

save the EMTs for thin people who pass out from too much drinking, if you enter too many fatsos into a dance-off emergency services will be overloaded with heart attacks.

In fact eating sugar decreases immunity from disease, in addition to causing disease. Not only that, but sugar feeds cancer cells like nothing else.

Feed kids steel cut oats instead of this crap. Also give them 100mg of Coenzyme Q10 daily with their dinner.

no way, fat people and sweaty and disgusting and should be banned and sent to a remote island without food until they lose enough weight to be welcome back into normal society

I am an adult with ADHD and I just got prescribed the drug yesterday, I am on 10mg pills taking 1-2 a day. It has seriously helped out, of course a lot of it is psychological as well! I am taking this drug so my brain tells me to do things I need to accomplish, thats half the battle. Instead of procrastinating with my school work I work before play, and it has great benefits. Of course, with ADHD you obviously have to be diagnosed with it before you are prescribed a narcotic. It took me about a month with various therapist appointments and tests but finally I was diagnosed with it and now I am glad I went through the trouble!

I've been on this plan for about 10 days now. I think it is a very easy to follow plan. I had to go through the book and make pointers for myself as to what to eat and when. That would be the hardest part. I believe that I will be successful because it seems to be something I can live with...lower calories and better food selections.

What a load of crap! Shame on Kellogg's for even trying that stunt. They must think the public are complete idiots for thinking a pile of sugar each day is going to help your body!

How satfats affect your body is context dependent. I wouldn't recommend a lot of Satfats to a sedentary, overweight person with a stressful job who doesn't eat a lot of fruit and veggies. For fit, active hardbods (like Jody!), satfats can be beneficial.

I didn't know ingesting vast quantities of sugar made you immune to H1N1. Nice! Screw the vaccine.

Couldn't agree more.

I've skipped whole milk and gone straight to half-n-half and whipping cream. YUM. Also, have never felt better. Bring on the sat fat!

I think I know what book you're talking about...6-week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle...? They're low-carb proponents, authors of Protein Power, and I remember them talking about Fatty Liver disease in the book. It's interesting stuff.

This was the only diet I could stick to and loose 40 pounds!!! I did the old version and it was truly amazing how my body felt good and alive through out the process. It was so good to see the escale going down every day, and Judy's encouragement words were extremely helpfull.
I want to do it again, but I want the old version and don't have the book anymore...
Please can somebody send to me the old version plan?
Judy, may your Soul receive my gratitude, love and respect.
With love

ok, ait , a bit more!!!
sice you are starting this diet, couple of tips:

what I do the first few days when it's hard is choose to eat 5 bites of something chewy, which I can eat very slowly and concentrate to chew slow and take my time.
Have one bite this way, then breathe, wait 30 seconds, and repeat with the next 4 bites.
Then , i try and drink a huge glass of water, or if cold, I drink a huge mug of herbal tea, and fill my tummy up.
Also eating protein helps ( and I'm a vegetarian!!!)

Then , making a conscious effort to drink a lot during the day helps a lot......

ok, bye bye : )

well you are not alone here.
We all know about self sabotage.....we have all started this diet and "failed" once day and binge.
But honestly I used to do this with every diet.
If I was on weight watchers, and I went over my points one day or didnt count, I felt I failed and I binged. And on every other diet....

that cycle of starve and binge is very hard.

But, honestly, if you can get through the first 3 days, it does get easier.
And as many of us have experienced here, once you have been on this diet for a while and have lost some weight (I did it in one stretch and lost 32 pounds)
then you will find that you don't put on weight after this weight loss.

I still have some weight to lose, but in all honestly very little, which is quite hard.

If you go back a few posts on this thread, you will see how many of us feel that after losing weight on this diet, it does change the way you eat.
Now don't get me wrong, I am still perfectly capable of bingeing.
But I can also go without eating the day after a binge....

I don't binge and starve myself, that's not what I mean. I binge a lot less than I used to.

Anyways, if you read the past few ages on this thread, you will get a lot of motivation.

I have started the 5 bite again on monday, and I don't know why but this time it is a lot easier???? Go figure...
Sometimes you have to be in the right frame f mind and be really ready.

I have tried to "start" recently and it has nt worked.
Emotional things got in the way,or whatever???

You do have to be prepared, because the reality is that the first 3 to possibly 5 days are quite challenging.
As Dr Lewis said , you will feel like you have the flu.
I just feel really tired, and have the occasional headache.
But that's only the first few days.

You go from that, to having loads of energy.
Think of it as a detox, which really, it is.
Your body gets very little food, and lots of fluids!
On ay detox, you have flu symtoms because your body doesnt have to spend massive amounts of energy to digest food, so it takes care of cleansing other organs, which is why as toxins come out, you feel weakened...

but blah blah blah......LOL I could just keep going.

If you can, try and start this diet when you don't have to be super busy and can get a lot of rest, drink a lot of fluid....Just pretend you have the flu and take care of youself that way.
It does make it easier. Take it easy, and when it's difficult, remember that it will pass....

i have to run off ....Dont give up!
It really works!

Good luck!
Back later!!! : )
