A little update from me, the last 3-4 days have been good, yesterday can’t remember what I ate 3-4 days ago😉, but yesterday lunch I had 5 bites of bread with danish blue cheese, I binned the rest, and in the evening I had snickers, perfect day.

Today for lunch we had a clinic meeting and ordered some deli sandwiches, I was worried that I w…[Read more]

Simple is best. Nice to hit those goals hey Chloe!!

LOL.  I agree. There’s no point in naming and shaming. There’s plenty of FA movement on the food channel. Overweight commentators digging into the supersizes. I would prefer to share with my less fortunate associates. I like the “normalize” observation. Media is so much about changing the perception and not the reality or the outcome.

Yesterday was a not so perfect day.  I did well until the evening when I skipped yoga and decided to grab dinner on my way home.  I ended up eating about 15 bites of a vegan burger and fries dish.  My goal was to just throw it away after 5 bites, but that didn’t happen.

So…I grabbed a pack of bars this morning.  I will try sticking to those for…[Read more]

Day 38

Lunch: chicken tenders and figs

Dinner: Snickers bar

Keeping it simple and easy. I’m so excited to drop into the 140s this week 

Funny you should say that it is culturally shameful to be overweight there. In America, the bigness of something is valued most! The bigger, the better! It’s so bad here with regard to bigness that we actually have these fat acceptance movements that directly oppose fat shaming. I am not okay with shaming people at all fat or thin or whatever. But…[Read more]

Damn Lynda you are so knowledgeable and experienced!

Kmarie I can empathize with you greatly as I spent a loooong time reading so many different books about all the various diets out there including some of the ones you listed. I also have consumed hours of video lectures and talks about healthy plant based eating, keto, fasting, etc. What the…[Read more]

I’m looking forward to just being able to buy womens clothes, not mens clothes. That is going to be a huge relieve to me.

We had this Dr.John tickell in Australia that created “The Great Australian Diet”. He promoted the diet as the healthiest way to live based on Okanawans, Japan, being the longest living people. But he ended up getting brain…[Read more]

As someone who hates being told what I can and can’t eat and watching people really struggle to stay on alternative diets, myself included came to the conclusion that something is wrong. Everyone is still getting fatter in Australia and the government runs these campaigns to get kids and adults to move more to get healthier. And I really struggled…[Read more]

That’s it.  I’ve been doing this for a lot of years.  Untangle the confusion: it’s very simple.  Carbon, by weight, in vs. carbon, by weight, out.  But let’s make it even simpler: 5 bites twice a day.  It guarantees that your carbon intake is minimal, it guarantees that you will be full all the time (after the third day), and it doesn’t limit you…[Read more]

When you are on your cruise you will be inundated with food–and it’s free!  SO, be super aware of this fact, and try and have JUST ONE BITE of each item you want to taste.  Order a burger, have one bite, throw the rest away.  Try the fries–one bite–throw the rest away.  I STRONGLY recommend the sit-down dinners; not the buffets.  The food is b…[Read more]

I haven’t posted in awhile or followed the 5 bite plan. I’m back up to 162lbs. Feeling very defeated.

The more I study various diets the more lost I become. I’ve read about fasting and calories in calories out, low carb high fat, Atkins, Dr Jason Fung Obesity Code, anti inflammatory diet, boosting metabolic, how eating too little destroys your…[Read more]

We are definitely all in this together!  

Lynda
Thank you so much! I so understand The Filipino pot luck and the boss situation I’m the leader in my department and I work in a hospital with many Filipino friends and we seem to be running a special on baby showers at work in every department. I do better believe it or not in that environment at work( I have figured it out for my work s…[Read more]

Day 37

Breakfast was a strudel pastry

Lunch was a Snickers bar

All 5 bites.

I feel good! I like having a little flexibility, being able to have breakfast every once in a while with my girlfriend. It also makes for a larger fasting period the next day since I won’t eat again until lunch. It comes off the same. I am so busy with other…[Read more]

In 2 weeks you won’t give a damn if the feeder brings home 3 pizzas. You’ll have 5 bites and be done with it. You are only a few days away from setting your hunger stat. And you won’t want to overeat.

Hi NeedingThis,

If you can start the diet in your own space. Get some nice zero calorie drinks available. Get some snickers (if you are in a position where you can’t focus) and arm yourself with responses on why you are not feasting anymore. My challenge will be at the Filipino pot luck parties where there will be 3 women force feeding me because…[Read more]

GREAT!  Ask yourself those questions before you take your first bite.  All of a sudden the extra bites will lose their appeal.  Eating perfectly is so much tastier and filling than just eating more bites.

Insight: So today I’m going to ask myself anytime I’m around food. Will I regret this? Will I remember this in 3 days? My new mantra!
