Hi Father,

When you are stuck on a plateau, the easiest way to break it is to be perfect.  In fact, go back to bars.  It’s a perfect time.  I know that bars are the least bit exciting, but seeing the scale move down is.  So commit to the bars, keep carbon out of your liquids, and let the breathing happen.  You will HAVE to break the plateau quic…[Read more]

Great guys!!

Hi BeClean!

Fine.  Putting the nuts on a spoon is a great idea.  But boy nuts are tough: they are SO tempting.  (They are normally snack food.)  Nuts come in big packages, and when you’ve had one spoonful, you are so tempted to have another, then another, then another.  But again, as long as you are committed to the finish line and want that more…[Read more]

Wow you where fortunate enough to see him in person… WOWOWOW…

Well, if you can’t find anything physical and we just have to wake few days for the scale to show the truth, given that you help with smaller bites maybe…

I was thinking of something different, more spiritual that might not hurt… Given that we are in so much stress in our…[Read more]

Dear beclean!  Thanks for your prompt reply. It means a lot to me.  I remember when I did the 5 Bite Diet as Dr. Lewis’ patient when I was living in Los Angeles loosing the last 25 pounds was very hard.  I have thought about all of the things you mention.  I have been able to be more physically active, mainly riding my bicycle  on the trails near…[Read more]

it’s a horrible feeling…

I haven’t gotten that far, but maybe is because you are getting closer to the finish line? could that be? that it’s more slow?… are you eating the same amount? are you doing extra exercise that could be adding muscle? or water retention?. or the oposite maybe it’s time to add some walking?, because I know how…[Read more]

Thanks SCS

I love the words of “feelings come and go”… wow, it’s so true and we believe it’s forever that urge and it does pass. amazing how the body adjust to the two meals right. I also get the feeling of hunger at my first meal, I feel like a dog, who knows exactly his meal time. 😂 😂 .

I haven’t use the visualization of my fat being burn,…[Read more]

I am no expert at this diet, beclean, but if I get the urge to eat when it’s not the designated time to eat, I tell myself, “nope, you have to wait until 6:30 PM” or “nope, you have to wait until tomorrow at lunchtime.” I then get a glass of water or a cup of tea to fill the void. For me, by not even engaging in a dialogue or the negotiation with…[Read more]

GREAT…!

Yes, I have to focus as well on the bites. I would like to take the bite and that’s it. But sometimes, I say to myself, well this is like half a bite, so I can take two bites because the bite was so small.

So I want to just take the bite as it is and count it as a bite. Prepare before given the bite and say: this is will count as a…[Read more]

YES…

Bring it on..!!!

But this happens when I catch myself in the wave of the urge, sometimes before, the wave took me all the way to the kitchen and you forget it’s just FAKE urge…

So I guess, every afternoon I tell myself to be PRESENT, to watch out for the wave, so when it comes, I can challenge it, but just allowing the fake…[Read more]

@beclean, I’m doing alright, I’m down a bit in weight, a few slip ups but mostly on track. Thanks for checking in. Yeah it has been easier to open up the field of what I can eat, things are less tempting if I have the sense that I can just eat it later. Nothing is off limits so I’m less enamored by things. And counting the bites, being super aware…[Read more]

I LOVE this attitude!  When the hunger starts to hit, focus on nothing but the hunger and ask your body to bring it on!  Bring it on HARD!  Challenge your body to force you to eat–to give in.  NO WAY!  No measly hunger is going to derail me!!  Bring it on!!!

Right!  And how are you doing today, Beclean?  Are you down more weight?

HI spider…

How are you doing?… I guess the freedom to eat bites of any kind of food feels like freedom. I remember telling me “I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT” as a mantra, when someone ask me about the diet, I said that, I just didn’t told them JUST A COUPLE OF BITES. 😂 …

let us know how are you doing… 5 days out of 8 it’s not bad, I guess…[Read more]

@beclean yeah some of those phrases like “it’s only food” land well with me when I’m really in the groove, but other times not so much. The better I do with this diet, the more certain phrases like that act as little helpful reminders.

I have been off track a bit, I would say I was only on track for about 5 out of the last 8 days. And that has…[Read more]

Yes “spiderchlome”

I haven’t read all the thread, but I LOVED the last words “it’s only food” GOD, it’s so true, and the terrible side effects it has done in my life. I guess we need to  get few life experiences before we take it seriously. I did it few years ago and lot 55 pounds, yet I didn’t follow through to the finish line, (regardless…[Read more]

Yes, great explanation…

I love the part where the bites keep the GI track functioning, because in the past, out of my desperation to lose the weight fast, I have gone into juice fasting or water fasting, and it was a disaster once you try to “wake up” the intestine. It was painful. I went into a juice fast of 75 days, where at the end I was…[Read more]

Such a great explanation. Thank you!
