Activity

Yes, I will. Especially since I only lost 2 lbs this week!

Today is going to be PERFECT!

Right.  So now that the day is over and all is said and done, were the extra  bites worth it at all?  Absolutely not!!  Remember this experience the next time you are tempted by food that’s just sitting there.

Ok, I have to check in. I was really awful yesterday: I did good, 5 bites at lunch and 5 bites at supper, then after supper I started to pick at the food on my plate. Then they served cake, and I ate a peice. And today, I had resolved to not eat, to make up for the cake. But I started picking at food, and just tasted and took a LOT of random,…[Read more]

Day 80

Back on it, and it has been fairly easy actually. Mindfulness of what you’re doing when you’re doing it. I know exactly what to do but sometimes I’m not “there” for when it’s time to decide to do the right thing, like throw that 6th bite away, or not take extra bites when there is an opportunity. Every time I have messed up, I knew I was…[Read more]

Great job! Your posts are always encouraging. I need to get excited too. Time for me to re-read Dr Lewis’s book!

I haven’t tried eating ‘normally’ this time on the diet yet, so it will be interesting to see how I feel on Thanksgiving!

I do remember once during the first time I ever tried doing the 5 bite diet, I went off plan and ate a…[Read more]

Thank you Chloe and Dr Lewis!

Today was better. Still a little bit sick, but I rested and drank some hot water.

I did have some cough/throat drops too, probably not the best idea though. And I have to confess that I drank about 1/2 cup broth with lunch too. Bad choices! It will not help me! Truthfully, the hot water made me feel…[Read more]

Got the today okay, eating more than the bites I have been accustomed to can be uncomfortable and naturally will make you stop way earlier than you would have in the past. I’m actually excited to go back to my regularly scheduled programming of 5 bite tomorrow and this next week leading up to Thanksgiving lol. Pretty cool.

You got it Skinny, yeah screw the whole broth thing, it will make you retain a lot of water and I know that doesn’t feel particularly good. Tea works really well if you’re looking for something hot and comforting! Good luck 👍

Good, Skinny!  Remember that this process is a journey of learning.  Learning about carbon, it’s metabolism, and the serious effects of accumulating excess fat.  It’s about learning how to eat less–a TON less–and learning that the body doesn’t need a single thing until the fat is gone.  (Save a multivitamin here and there.)  It’s also a proc…[Read more]

Dr Lewis, I wish I had read that earlier today! You are right, it won’t make me feel better.

I drank 2 mugs of broth today. That has carbon, not as much as juice or milk, but it still has carbon. Then my stomach hurt because it is smaller now. Lesson learned!

I feel a little better today than I had been. It wasn’t a very perfect day…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’re back!! We’re in this together, I want to get done by New Year’s as well!!!

You can do this! I hope these next few days are the best ‘start’ days you’ve ever had!

Day 78

Thanks guys, and yes I am gonna keep at it

Got through today really well. Keeping up my little rituals around the food and reminding myself to stay calm around food, not letting my thoughts get away from me and lead into actions I don’t want, really helps! We’re going to have a little Thanksgiving potluck tomorrow at a friend’s house. I…[Read more]

I love all of that Chloe, especially the part about posting daily to keep yourself accountable!

Indeed!  Colds DO kill your appetite, and all you should be taking in is water until the cold goes away.  MOST people, though, feel that eating somehow, someway makes them get better faster.  It doesn’t!!  It might make them feel better at that moment, but even then, food when you are sick isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.  Best thing: take…[Read more]

Back for a reset, and a sprint to the New Year!

Love catching up on your journey and reading your inspiring message!

Today was good, not quite as “perfect” as I was planning though! 5 bites total rather than 4, but oh well.

I was really sick today, so I took a lot of naps. I’m feeling better already, but still tired.

Lunch was great, 2 bites of a sandwich I made.

Supper was 2 bites of a taco. Then I had 1 bite of super spicy salsa. (My family usually…[Read more]

Great job! Thanks for checking in here, it’s really encouraging!
