Activity

Right.  

Yay!  And keep posting here.  I want to here that EVERY SINGLE DAY you are able to stick to the plan.  It makes every subsequent a little better, a little more exciting than the one before.  There is no better way to live right now.  

You are doing really great Tao, is that your plan to do only one meal per day or was that just yesterday? You inspire me

“I want to see what happens when I  DON’T!!” that is a great way to put it Tao, every bite matter, even the sneaky little one, so let’s stick to perfect 5 bites or less 

I am also toying with the 18.5 idea, but every time I think about it I get so anxious and say to myself: “no you can’t do it”, and then I mess up, think I have to start…[Read more]

What a perfect example to use about eating. You are correct. We taste the food, eat only the amount  our body needs so we can get to our healthy BMI ASAP. The 6th bite and beyond loses all of its luster. I keep reminding myself 6 bites and over put this weight on. Keep going Tao!! 

It was GREAT! Five small bites.

And while the last bite was good, I guess the whole meal was like a sped-up example of “diminishing returns.”  I could actually sense my taste-buds caring less and less after the first zing!  Interesting.

We will get there!! Let’s finish strong. All you have to do is focus on your next meal being a perfect five bites.  You are right! We know how overeating affects our bodies let’s see what eating small does. 

Hi Danica,

The Dr. Lewis has me THINKING ABOUT 18.5 BMI.

I know for sure I can’t tell anyone except for you all what weight (132 lbs!) that would put me at.

Now, my motivational phrase is:

“I already know what happens when I cheat and give-up.

I want to see what happens when I  DON’T!!”

Good job Tao. I can’t wait to hear how awesome your first week went. It feels good to have control doesn’t it? 

Hi All,

So yesterday, I  carved 5 thin slices off a pretty big steak (tri-tip).  After putting the first strip in my mouth, I realized I  had taken way more in my mouth than a proper bite would be.  Then, I took one of the remaining four slices, cut it into three, ate them, and… threw the remaining 3 slices away.

Live and learn.

Tomorrow is…[Read more]

BUCKAROO:  Now, let her out.  And give her your coat, Tommy.

PERFECT TOMMY:  Why me?

BUCKAROO:  Because you’re perfect.

It certainly does. I feel empowered, in control and successful. I have the key to my future thinner self and to get there I just need to keep doing consistent perfect 5 bite days. I will get there super fast too. Thank you!

I like that quote, Tao!  And GREAT job, Danica!  Doesn’t it feel amazing to be doing as well (already) as you are?  Remember how you feel right this moment.  Don’t you want to feel like this everyday?  Isn’t this feeling better than how any food at any time makes you feel?  So just keep it going.  Eat perfectly, and every day will be just as spe…[Read more]

I hear you, but you need to do what is right fo you always.  NEVER give into eating more than 5 bites.  No excuses.  HAD she been watching, I would have said something like, “This is AMAZING!  I’m taking some home for my kids to try!”

The cake wasn’t that great so leaving the rest was very easy, if the colleague who had made it had been watching me that would have been difficult because I probably would have hurt her feelings if she had seen me get rid of the rest

Thank you Tao!!  It feels good to have a perfect five bite day behind me again.

Hi, Danicaj,

Great job!  Just remember…

Practice Doesn’t make perfect.

PERFECT Practice makes perfect.

You’re a master.
