Activity

I am thinking this way: thinking of having a little stash. This is a side benefit. I am not used to things lasting long. For example, yesterday I wanted potato chips. I got one of the small bags, and ate 2 or 3 as part of my 5 bite meals. It is nice that I still have the bag and the end is not in sight. Another example: on Saturday, my father will…[Read more]

Well done! Much more controlled, Dr A really likes us to have zero calories in our drinks & I do think that is a big factor in the scale moving lower. Try to do your next day with no calorie drinks & 5 bites you’ll  then have did it perfectly!

Cheering you on!

Well done JulieNom!

Hi JulieNom!

I wonder if this could be a hoarding response to being on the diet, wanting to make sure that I have food. Somehow it soothes me to save the food for later.  I appreciate the variety of food that I have available. I watched the survival series “Alone” a year ago and there was one participant who hoarded his food, he dried the meat…[Read more]

I love reading about the beautiful Italian 5 bite diet! There were some foods I had never heard of, and I had fun looking them up on Google. The Italian 5 bite meals sound amazing, and you are a real inspiration!

It’s fun to get creative with the program in this way.

That is so clever and must be very economical also!

I did well so far today. Everything was on point, except I had Chai with sugar and milk in it for breakfast. I have to do better on the breakfast drink tomorrow.

I had another big 10 hour work day, but got through. Lunch 2 pm: 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites salt and vinegar potato chips. Same for dinner 6:30 pm. Little sip of Coke to help my…[Read more]

I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.

Hi Alaska Gal. I am so happy to hear of your 40 pound loss! Well done!

Welcome back JN!

Your at where I started.

It’s been journey for me to get where I am longer than I thought it would be.

Thankful I keep making progress.

Progress will get me to my finish line.

& it will get you there too!

It will get all of us there!

📣Yay!!!!!

That’s the way! Every day we can improve a little bit and eventually we’ll get there.

Thank you, Allison and Jane! You have such good tips and positivity. This diet seems to be a mind set. Today I did well. I woke up determined. I just had a latte, Snickers bar for lunch at 2:40, Snickers for dinner at 7. Nothing else. The only deviation was milk and syrup in my large coffee as I don’t like black. I had a long hard work day too,…[Read more]

Hi again JulieNom,

let me share another little thing or two that is helping me:

when I’m about to have my five bites, rather than thinking that I’m going to eat, I’m thinking that I’m going to taste a few different bites of food. A bit like it’s my job to do a quality control of food at a restaurant.

I sort of think of this diet as a fast, and…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom, the road can be rocky at first. Try again and again, and before you know it, your hungerstat is set to where you want it to be. Small steps of improvement, meal by meal. The smaller your bites the less you’ll poke the hungry bear. I finish my five bites in under a minute. All the best to you!

Yesterday I tried to start the diet, but could not stop eating again! I had a breakfast plate with one hard boiled egg, a piece of cheese, a few berries. I had 5 bites of that. During the morning, I had a stressful work call. After the call, I ate a cookie. I thought of food all morning. At lunch, I ate five bites of baked beans, then served…[Read more]

Excellent! I think highly of glp-1’s. It seems to me that one issue could be that they are sometimes prescribed at too high of a dose, for example when a patient isn’t satisfied with the speed of the weight-loss. Also, it seems that there is a belief that they are somewhat magical, and that as long as you take them, you can eat as much as you…[Read more]
