Day 3

Still going! That was a relatively easy day 3 compared to a lot of the other ones I’ve been through. Feeling the drain and uncomfortable feels at times but as soon as I give a little push, my body is ready to go. Seems like my body is adjusting to switching its power supply. I think I’m in a much better place mentally now than I was last…[Read more]

De Lewis.  It’s great to know. The thyroid can be cured by loosing weight.  But I know some very thin people who have hypothyroid.   Why is that ?

And im taking the generic for synthroid    My sisters doctor said the generic doesn’t work as well.  What do you think?

Maybe this will help help me feel good enough to care about my weight ag…[Read more]

I’m glad that your doctor discovered this, but the cure for hypothyroidism is to get thin.  The extra fat on the body suppresses the thyroid gland’s production of thyroid hormone.  Certainly Synthroid is good for you now–until you lose enough weight that your own thyroid starts to take over again.

I’ve discovered I have hypothyroidism

dr put me on meds.  But I’m disappointed it takes 3 months before I will see results.  Even though I was extremely tired I’m relived to know why I felt so bad. And it wasn’t depression.

Absolutely.  You sleep efficiency is much better.  You simply require less sleep to feel completely rested, and you have more energy throughout the day!  Great!!

That’s good to know, Chloe. I’ve definitely been having trouble sleeping as much. It’s like I have too much energy to go to sleep, so I’m up later and yet still wake up before my alarm in the morning. I didn’t realize that could be tied back to the diet.

Nice!, I also get sleep disturbances in the sense that I don’t seem to need as much sleep when doing 5 bites, not sure what that’s about but it’s actually kinda nice to be alert in the morning instead of super lethargic. Also doesn’t it feel amazing to get past meal time without thinking about it? Not being fixated on food is such a strange and…[Read more]

Day 9 – I started the day with a shot of espresso then pretty much stayed busy all morning by catching up on chores and taking my car into the shop. I had two more shots of espresso this morning before my first 5 bites and didn’t end up eating until about 2:30 this afternoon. Since my son’s cheesy eggs breakfast smelled incredible, I decided to…[Read more]

Day 2

So far so good, a little difficult with some of the side effects but manageable. Keeping at it, making sure I don’t think about it too much.

I have to echo what Becca said: any loss is a win.  And as you keep focusing on your spectacular skinny future and as you keep working to make this diet work for you, you will start to see better and better results.

Thanks Susan and Becca, let’s get after it! And thanks doc, you’re right, just gotta trust the body and let it do what it’s going to do.

Welcome back, Chloe! Excited to be on this journey along with you.

I felt so tired yesterday that I crashed pretty early. In addition to 5 bites, this week my main goal is going to be getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

Day 8 – Weighed in yesterday morning with 9 pound lost! May not be double digits, but I’ll gladly take it! Now just to keep that momentum going…

Breakfast was my usual black…[Read more]

For sure!  Don’t stop!  You WILL find your way, but you need to be willing to keep trying to find it.  I believe in you, Itsme!

Another good option are PayDay bars.  They are filled with lots of peanuts.  I like ’em!

A single diet coke a day is fine.

EXACTLY right, Chloe!  You need to not freak out when you body reacts to your eating less.  Feeling different is normal and expected as your body starts pulling it’s energy from the fat (converts fat to glucose).  This is all good, and it means that you are headed to a very VERY healthy place.  Please don’t freak out, but go with it.  Finding ways…[Read more]
