Activity

Thanks Dr. Lewis! Yeah, I felt like it may have been slightly big. I squished it down pretty good, and left a lot more on the plate than I wanted to. Duly noted though – physically big = big bites. That may sound obvious, but when you’re in bite mode, it’s all about what is going to taste good. Next time i’ll go for a jr cheeseburger or something!

Yes, Stevia’s fine.

A. Barnes – above you mentioned that the traffic is bad on your long ride home.  Wonderful!  All that time you spend in the car, away from food, is VERY PRODUCTIVE.  You lose your weight by breathing and not eating (so DEFINTELY no snacks/drinks in the car)!  Stopping for a cup of black coffee is a WONDERFUL idea.  I like that a lot.  Rea…[Read more]

Hi Matt.  I like your choice of dinner, but a Big Mac is A LOT of bites.  Ideally, you should eat about 1/4 of it, 2 chicken nuggets, and 1 bite of fries.  Had you done so, today, would you be sorry you didn’t eat more of the Big Mac and fries?

I agree with what everything Pia said.

I like this topic.

1. I’m MUCH quicker on the tennis court, and my endurance is way up.  I could play for hours!
2. I love know that, when I walk down the street, I’m the thinnest guy around.  (Living in the media capitol of the world, people assume I’m an actor.)
3. I’ve been doing pilates to work on my posture and increase my range of motion for s…

Yes! No hunger. A little bit when it is time to eat, but it is more of a timer than anything else lol. Completely manageable. I am so ecstatic knowing I WILL reach my goal soon. Today my accounting lady took her daughters to Mexico for the gastric sleeve surgery. It feels so good knowing I will have better results without the risk of surgery or…[Read more]

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!  Everything you’ve said is right on.  How is the hunger, Danica?  Is it COMPLETELY gone?  At this point, eating should simply be FUN.  You look forward to your next meal so that you get to eat 5 amazing bites!  Buckle in for the ride.  It’s going to be awesome!  

Start looking for those cute clothes. You are so close to being there. Excited for you!!!!!

Agreed, the first 3 days are challenging mentally. For me, it’s the social pressure of eating though. My family is big on food as it’s part of our culture – my mom is an amazing cook – so executing 5 good bites can be daunting. However, it’s all in my head beforehand, once I get the food in front of me – it’s a piece of cake….errr…bite of cake.

Another thing that helps me is I eat at designated times. I eat my lunch at 12:00 and my dinner at 5:00. Hot tea or zero calorie drinks as much as I want. Now when my stomach growls I imagine that is what fat sounds like melting off lol. 

Yes, absolutely love Zevia. Cream soda for me!

Exactly Matt. My bites are precious to me. I make sure I am eating something good, or just what I am craving. I love how adaptable this diet is. I can eat anything as long as it is just 5 magic bites.

Day 3 Entry: 4/12/2018

Motivated like crazy and feeling very confident in being exact in the bites. I love how I am quite picky on what I eat now because I only have 5 bites, it better be worth the taste! Yesterday was a bit on the unhealthy side, but I was craving a burger. I had a Big-mac for dinner, leaving a bit on the plate as well.…[Read more]

Welcome Vita! I did my best on this diet after joining here. It can be very mental at times, but it is so worth it. I am glad that once I reach my goal I never have to do this again. It is empowering to be in control eating like this. 

I don’t exercise to lose weight, but I have 2 little girls, so I can’t really avoid getting active sometimes, but I do feel that when I have been very active it also gets harder to stick to the 5 bites because exercise increases the appetite, so if you do decide to exercise make sure that you still stick perfectly to your 5 bites.

I use swe…[Read more]

I totally understand. I am in Dallas and my hubby lived many years in Houston, and the traffic was brutal. I drink hot green tea, jasmine tea in the evenings. Yes mine is set and after three days it is so much easier. I didn’t realize how much I ate out of habit,  boredom, etc. Keep yourself busy. Get on here and read the posts, go to youtube and…[Read more]

Hello all. I’m really new, too! I bought and read the book a couple years ago. Re-reading it now and will read daily for reinforcement. I technically signed up a week ago. Lost several pounds during week one but am way more committed and completely following 5 bite during week 2. Yes, let’s check in on each other. How are you all doing today?…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Drink coffee, chew gum, reward yourself with something when you get home, (as long it’s not food) have a nice hot bath, watch a nice movie, read a book, anything that can take your mind of food, and keep thinking about how great you are going to feel when you start feeling your tummy getting flatter :yahoo:</p>
