Great!  Keep us posted!

Cool! I am working on a PhD in Business-IT Management.

1. Thanks for the encouragement Rachel!! I see you have your PhD – what is it in?  I have a doctorate of education in curriculum and instruction (focus was online teaching and learning).

I was just listening to your chat with Dr. Lewis from last week.  Very inspiring.  I too have a lot to lose, but we can do this!  Let’s see how fast we can get to the finish line together.

Day 8

Yesterday, I had no breakfast, lunch or snacks.  I ate a total of ten bites yesterday at dinner time, of a tuna sandwich.  Today, I am going to try shifting to 5×2 as Dr. Lewis suggested.

Thank you!

Great job Allison!

Day 6 & 7
Did not stick to the bars, and had a few glasses of wine over the weekend.  My cycle showed up on Friday night – I get one every 2-3 months.  Gotta love perimenopause & bad decisions. That’s what has got me here, so I am making a choice to change that moving forward.

Weight Results
Day 1 – 251.6 lbs (starting weight)
Day 7 – 247.8 lbs…

GREAT progress!  That’s a huge next step.  The trick of course is, can you stick to this regimen perfectly for a few day, then a week, then until you are done?!

Day 4 & 5

I stuck to my 10 bites each day, but I didn’t stick to the bars. Progress!

That is so great Allison! Keep up the hard work!

I am on a roll!  Hoping to update my tracker again on Monday!

Brilliant, Allison!!  YAY!!

As I asked you in a message I sent you: at any moment in time, how bad is the hunger really?

So exciting!!! Well done Allison 👏👏👏

Keep going!  This is just going to get better and better everyday that passes ⭐️👏😁

Thank you for sharing your 30 day journey on the Five Bite Diet. I am excited to see what you accomplish. Sending you my support and encouragement.

OK.  You can settle in with that regimen for awhile.  Perhaps, down the road, you’d be willing to try the 5×2 routine for a slight increase in your metabolism.

Day 3 – Much better experience yesterday.  I found it easier to wait to eat until dinner.  Eating at lunch was triggering my appetite and cravings.  So instead, I waited until dinner and had my 10 bites.  I hope that modification is okay, since it really worked.  When I got hungry during the day, I drank coffee or my green tea.

Yep.  It can be really hard the first couple of days.  But just imagine how spectacular everything is going to be when your hunger goes away.  Let that pull you through.  My other advice is this: Don’t be afraid of the hunger.  It can be really annoying–even painful at times–but that’s all.  It’s a GOOD reminder that your body is breaking down…[Read more]

Day 2 – Wow! Yesterday was really hard, and I wobbled.  I was not perfect.  Today is a new day, and I come at it armed with the experiences of yesterday, and some tools to help me.
