Thank you for sharing Elizabeth! Insightful!

Michelle started the topic I love what was said in last night's chat in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

I loved when Sharlet said that as little as she has been eating, she could be eating less. These may not be the exact words, but that was the gist of it. It reminded me of a few posts I saw on facebook where Tammy showed how small her bites were when she lost a lot of her weight. And, it also reminded me of when Gayle shared that she was only…[Read more]

Hi Denise!

Happy to see you here! We have a great 5 Bite Team going, and I am happy to see one more fun person!

I have not experienced this issue. 5 bites actually gives me more energy.

I have found, that when I drink a huge amounts of water, I get more dehydrated because I am always going to the bathroom. I first questioned in my mind when Dr.…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing this Elizabeth! Today, I was actually thinking about the things you shared regarding your husband and his relationship with food. Yes! There is so much more to life. I so want to stop having food and my weight be the forefront of my thinking. This is such a perfect reminder!!!

Hi,

I joined this forum about three months ago. I’ve struggled with staying on the 5-Bite plan for the past two months. My struggle is this…I work at a very physically demanding job…I can only sit for about a minute or two every once and a while. I found that even though I drink lots of water with electrolytes in it, I am getting so weak and…[Read more]

Thank you Denise! Yes! it is so easy to fall back into huge portion sizes.

Kylie, we are all in this together. I so can relate! I have done things like what you shared so many times. Even in the most funnest situations, I have silently lived a hellish experience in my head regarding how much I ate….the guilt, the feeling of being so uncomfortable and all all the stuff that goes with it. The compulsive eating disorder…[Read more]

Denise Pedrow replied to the topic Saying NO to the soup tonight! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

Stick to your plan! I’ve found that if I go off-plan even a little bit….I quickly fall off the wagon completely. Then I am back to “regular size” portions and I find weight loss stalls.

Denise Pedrow replied to the topic Trying something new for some of my meals in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

This post is interesting. I am thinking about what I can stick to better…five bites of one type of food or five bites of different types of food. Hmmm…. I may have to experiment with this.

So far….I am thinking that the Snickers bars are my best choice. They are perfect volume, a little crunchy, sweet and a little salty. Really shuts down…[Read more]

Denise Pedrow replied to the topic Why do we do the things we say we won’t? in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

I can relate to this post. I keep doing more than 5 bites and get beyond satisfied to fullness. I’ve only eaten to being uncomfortably full once or twice. I know that when I am in “the groove” and eating only coffee for breakfast and five bites for lunch and five bites for dinner….I feel better. I may feel hunger during the day….but over…[Read more]

Michelle replied to the topic The Food/Enjoyment Variable is so peculiar in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

Yes! I love this Dr. Lewis and Allison! I need to shift from wanting more volume to really understanding that more volume does not add more flavor. Collect Flavor, not volume. It reminds me of the sentiment that it is better to have a few high-end pieces as your wardrobe as opposed to lots of not that great items in your wardrobe. Quality over quantity!!

I’ve had a few thoughts to put out since our last meeting, may or may not be helpful.

My naturally thin husband is adopted, basically ate the same items growing up as his siblings.

Big difference is they are overweight and he is not.

Observations:

1. He only eats when hungry 99% of the time, only exception are events with his family-holiday…[Read more]

Kylie yes been there and done that a few times

If you can turn the next meal To a 5 bite meal you’ll have then done better then me I will drag those mess ups into a whole weekend or week.

Let us know you got back on 5 bite

Congrats on folks noticing that’s awesome!

I assumed most could relate. You are right, I just need to recover well. Thanks 💕

Allison replied to the topic Why do we do the things we say we won’t? in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

We have all done that – we call it a lesson haha. Get right back on and pretend it never happened.

Kylie started the topic Why do we do the things we say we won’t? in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

I am really annoyed with myself. I went out tonight for a friends birthday. I wore an outfit I haven’t worn before and felt good. Lots of amazing comments from different people saying how good I was looking as the last time I saw them was pre slimming station and nearly 50lbs ago. I felt so good. And then I ate way too much. So much that I broke i…[Read more]

YES!!! When you focus on the flavor, it is much easier to eat just 5 bites. REALLY analyze the flavor of each and every bite you take. It will help to put the value of the 6th bite–a flavor that you have already collected–in it’s place: at the bottom of the trashcan.

Allison replied to the topic Fell off the bar wagon in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

Woohoo!! You got me!! Glad you had the joyous 5-bite tasting!!

Allison replied to the topic Is the 5 bite diet cheating at weight loss?? in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

Best kept secret!!

Allison replied to the topic The Food/Enjoyment Variable is so peculiar in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 9 months ago

So true! When I fall off the plan, I eat slmost mindlessly the most mediocre food!! It is baffling why I do that. When I am in the zone, I always focus on flavor. If uou can stay focused on flavor – that is the key to long term success. Imo
