On 14 Apr 2008, Christy O wrote: This is ridiculous. I laughed out loud when I heard this. I think portion control is key but existing on 5 bites is laughable. He even says you can eat whatever you want as long as it’s 5 bites. Don’t skip breakfast, eat fruits and veggies and a standard lunch and dinner. Oversized portions are what’s making our country the fattest in the world. Losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle is based on common sense principals and existing on eating 5 bites of whatever for a meal isn’t based on sound principals and not something one could sustain for very long.

On 27 Feb 2008, Crystal wrote: For the people who are saying that this will lead to anorexia, have you ever known someone that had gastric bypass surgery or a lapband? 5 bites is about all they can eat at one time. Just as weight loss surgery is designed for obese people, I believe this diet is designed in that manner as well. People that just want to lose 20-50 just need to go to the gym or try another diet.

On 22 Feb 2008, Michael wrote: Dr. Lewis is a con man! Sure, anyone can lose weight on 10 bites of food per day. And you know what….if you ate 2 bites of food per day, you’d loose even more. And if you ate only one bite, the fat would melt right off. What a concept! Dr. Lewis’ diet actually exits and is practiced by many - it’s called anorexia - and it’s killing people in the country nearly every day. We need to teach people how to eat a healthy low-fat diet that sustains good health, while maintaining a reasonable weight.

EVERYONE would be skinny if they went on this diet! if you only consume 15 mouthfulls of food a day, you’re is bound to be skinny! but just bear in mind, you’ll probably also be in a wheelchair because you havent been consuming a sufficiant amout of minerals and vitamins. No pill will fix that.

On 18 Feb 2008, laura wrote: I think this sounds great. I agree that america has a major distorted view of porton sizes. I see nothing wrong with re setting your bodies fullness gage. I don’t believe any of this nonsense about this leading to anorexia as anorexia is not about the food but deeper issues that need to be delt with. Also fred you are mean and hateful for calling anyone a fat pig and comments like that are what lead people to anorexia and other disorders. your mother should give you a good whoopin!

On 18 Feb 2008, ELI wrote: I am going to begin an 8 bite method then work my way down to 5 bites (per meal per day). I can do this because it means not giving up foods that I like. I have recently lost 40 pounds on my own by having two to three “fast” days per week. “Fast” days mean you go into your kitchen and only drink liquids, these could be any liquids from coffee, hot or cold tea, tomato soup, any kind of juice, milk, to water. I weigh every Friday morning to gauge my weight loss, then for real weight I weigh every Saturday morning and write it on my calendar. Then I eat anything I want on Saturday and Sunday. I have lost 40 pounds (losing one pound per week). I am so proud of myself.
