BRILLIANT!  

YES IT IS.  It’s simply an amazing thing!!!  

I’m humming along. My hunger stay is set. I’m doing bars for a week per Dr.’s orders. I’m eating for less than a dollar a day because my 5 bites is only half a bar. Lose weight and save money doing it. What’s not to love!

I Completely forgot about that, thanks for reminding me, looks like my worms are busy eating away today but let them eat YAY 

Wonderful post, RSikes!  Thanks for bringing those journal entries and chats to the forefront.

YES!  This is SO EXCITING when your mind is in the right place, because you realize at that moment it is just a matter of time before you are living that exceptional lifestyle.  Very, very exciting!!  

Hi Sharonmarie. So great to see you back on the forum, I have had so many slip ups myself, keep gaining and losing the same 10-20 pounds, and there’s just no way that I am going to allow myself to get fatter and fatter, I really dislike these extra pounds, so even though I find 5 biting so hard I just have to do it because there is no other way

I would suggest to not “try” it, but rather just do it.  I really do think that bars are a great way to force yourself to eat just 5 bites, and they are great ways of getting started on this program.  But if there is any doubt about sticking to the program (“I’ll try,”, e.g.), then do the bars for a solid three days until your hungerstat resets.  …[Read more]

Wow!  Welcome, Leona!

Right!  You will be skinny by December, but you really need to adopt the 5-bite lifestyle until you are there.  Assume that you actually had a surgical gastric bypass, and force yourself to adhere to just 5 bites.  When a family member or friend asks you why you are eating so little, tell them you had a gastric bypass and…[Read more]

Great Leonag.  I will say this: when you start off, you WILL be hungry.  WHAT you eat won’t change the your hungerstat or the time it takes to set it, so eat what you want to eat.  But I want you to push yourself these first three days: really challenge yourself to welcome and embrace the hunger, then hone in on it when you feel it.  I think you…[Read more]

Sorry, I just now wrote this on Leonag’s thread but I like it so much I’m re-posting it here, for me —-

Leona,

If you need to eat at work, choose the breakfast bar. You do need to eat dense food at first when you’re getting used to less volume. Don’t be afraid of hunger though. It’s going to happen. Maybe buy some bars to keep at your desk so you have what you like at hand. Also drink some water right before but not right after. The water causes…[Read more]

YES!  Great recognition: There is always tomorrow!  Right on!!!  

EXACT repeat of yesterday.

Here’s the Lesson:

If I really DO want more than 5 Bites of anything, there’s ALWAYS tomorrow.

Still, left-overs can’t beat fresh. Make enough for today, alone. You’ll thank yourself. (And you’ll get THIN!!!)

Tao

Perfect Tao. Well done on committing  to the five bite diet. Keep reading the book every day and journaling here every day. It really helps.

Joining back tomorrow with day one. You can do this and be there for the summer in no time xxx 

Hello Pia ,

i will be joining you all tomorrow starting five bites. So much have I learnt but have had so,e slips. Love being back here with Dr. Lewis. Always learning one day At a time ! Just writing , I feel I meadiatly a sense of relief knowing that I am grounded and ready to commit to get these pounds off and reach that goal xxx

The fears and myths are what took me off this diet the first time, too.

The BIGGEST head-game I had to get around was the idea of “missing out” on something REALLY amazing.

I have now completely accepted the FACT 5 Bites is ENOUGH for now. ENOUGH was a huge hurdle for me. And, better yet 5 BITES of whatever I want MOST in this meal window of…[Read more]

That’s it!  That’s the secret!  That’s EVERYTHING!  Learn to set your hungerstat, and keep it at that number.  Then just go with it.  Growlings are growling, and are a sign that you are breaking down more carbon that you are taking in.  GREAT!   Keep it all going as is.  You’ve got this!!
