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.

The “5 bite diet” works because it is based on good science. The problem is Dr. Lewis is a fraud and has screwed up the real “5 bite diet” as you will all find out in due time.

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.

DEADLY and SUICIDAL for anyone w/diabetes.

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.

this disgusts me.
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.

Ok!,Ok! I’m going to try this starting today. I’ll give it a go and get back to you.

could someone tell me if it is 5 bites, or 5 bites of everything on your plate whitch makes more since to me and it doesn’t have to be large bites of food.

sean, how long did it take u to loose 104 pounds? how many pounds did you loose the first month?i want to try this diet but i want to add breakfast to it. atleast 5 bites for breakfast too isnt bad.

chelsea, you are not fat! look up your BMI, it’s normal. just get some more exercise and eat healthier (more fruits & veggies, complex carbs & less fat & sugar), and you will lose the few pounds you’d like!

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!

I am so glad that “big 14 Susie” is in agreement! Sounds like you should try it too Sis!

I agree with previous poster “Eva.” She and her mom “Jerry” have already begun losing their holiday fat and are both already down to a size 12.

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.

I’ve suffered with anorexia and I’m now struggling with bulimia please find another way to lose weight. I’m afraid that if you do this you are only playing with fire.

Today is my first day trying this diet. I think its a great way for portion control in a country where obesity is on the rise. I was looking to lose 30lbs for my big 30 next month and i found the perfect way. Hey i will keep you posted

I think it sounds great. Americans over eat and portions are way out of control. 5 bites per meal does not sound so bad. You could start out 8 bites and work your way down.

Chelsea you fat pig! I see you taking that 6th bite!

this is either brilliant er crazy.
hello, im chelsea.
15 yrs old, 5foot5, 134 lbs and considered fat.
ill try this diet.
sounds reasonable.
but could it lead to massive ammounts of anorexia ?

Ok so you starve yourself until you get to the size you want.. than you go back to your “normal eatting” habits? Your just gonna gain everything back you lost. You dont have to be smart to figure that one out!
