Hi everyone!

Day 4 of maintenance, and my weight has dropped again, so I’m affording myself 6 bites per meal today.

I’m wondering if I should also add in a third meal? What do you think Dr. Lewis?

My weight was 50.6 kg / 111.6 lbs / 16.9 bmi this morning.

I’m feeling good and strong! I took a walk to the store and bought more food. My ease…[Read more]

How is it going JulieNom?

Eating out is wonderful! I also like take-away. It’s feels good to have someone else prepare food for me for a change. And I like watching Food Wishes with Chef John on youtube. He’s great!

How interesting that your doctor didn’t understand about cruise and eating less, and seemed afraid for his health just from talking to you. It’s not for…[Read more]

I ate less on my cruise than at home! I ate more healthy things as well! I was too busy to eat. I never thought of staying in my cabin snacking! I lost 8 pounds. Shortly after, I had my check in with my doctor. I was excited to tell him all about this, but he did not understand. He looked very alarmed and brought out a huge jug of hand sanitizer,…[Read more]

ps. I looked up the barefoot contessa – I’ll have a watch!

Hi JulieNom!

A cruise sounds lovely! It would be an excercise in portion control to attend a cruise buffet.

I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey will take me, food and other things. I’m interested again now in going shopping for a particular sausage tomorrow. I’ll do it if I still want to tomorrow. I can have the sausage.

This is so cool! You are the Barefoot Contessa (I used to love watching her show) of 5 bite!

I used to have hoarding of other things. I used to hoard all manner of cosmetic products (while eating a bad diet). I just love them. I had a problem with buying too many. I did some No Buys where I couldn’t buy anything new until I used the old. It…[Read more]

Hi there everyone!

For my second meal I had a similar menu to my first meal, with additional bea sauce for the three rice dishes, additional pickles with the surf & turf, and a dollop of ketchup with the salmon sandwich. It was good!

I’m cooking a small pot of carrot and beetroot stew, and I allowed myself to taste test it while adding chili…[Read more]

Hello again everyone!

On a psychological note: my intensive food hoarding seems to be a thing of the past. As I got nearer to my goal weight I was buying a lot of food and take-aways. It was quite a hectic experience. Yesterday evening I also bought take-away. I’m noticing a shift today. Yesterday I planned to go and buy food. Today, the thought…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Today is maintenance day 3.

My weight has dropped again this morning: 51.2 kg / 112.9 lbs / 17.1 bmi

This means that I’m having 5 bites for my two meals today.

This is what I had for my first meal:

1 teaspoon of ground beef in vine leaf wrap
1 teaspoon of spinach rice
1 teaspoon of eggplant rice
1 teaspoon of surf and turf…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom!

I like the sound of the mini burgers for glp-1 restaurant goers. It’s most likely a matter of time before that will be mainstream.

Yay for making each bite as satisfying and interesting as possible! I have splurged on sauces and dips and such things. My fridge looks like I’m about to host for five! I’m not.

The herbamare has a sort…[Read more]

That Herbamare looks good. Have to get me some, and some good dill and mayo and things. Have to make the most of each bite.

This is amazing! When I was young, I collected all the celebrity beauty books. I had one from the beautiful Swedish movie star Britt Ekland. And in the book, Miss Ekland said, she would buy a few of the best chocolates and keep them in the freezer, and just defrost a little when she was hungry for one. But your system is so well thought out and…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s funny: before my second meal I weighed in at 52.1 kg / 114.9 lbs.

I had my four bites and then weighed in again ten minutes later at 52.0 kg / 114.6 lbs.

My bites were:

1 teaspoon of salmon sandwich with sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon of shrimp sandwich with sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon of calzone with bea sauce

1 teaspoon…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

My weight was indeed down this morning. Thanks to this, I had four bites for my first meal, which is one bite more than yesterday. After my meal I weighed myself again, and my weight had dropped a little bit more.

My weight in the morning: 51.7 kg / 114 lbs / 17.3 bmi

my weight after my first meal: 51.6 kg / 113.8 lbs / 17.2…[Read more]

That’s one step closer JulieNom! You’ll get there! Snickers to the resque!

It’s good to know what you prefer and what you’d rather avoid for your bites.

Thank you JulieNom!

This morning I did cook something: lamb and veggie casserole. I cut about two tablespoons of small pieces from a slize of pre-marianted lamb meat that I bought yesterday, and fried it in the airfryer. I also airfried about a tablespoon of veggie casserole. When they were done, I combined them and called it lamb in veggie…[Read more]

Well, today I was so determined. I did not even have creamer. I had black tea only all day until 245, then I had one of those tuna cans, the little snack pack with the crackers. It was not so good, but I only ate 5 bites. The day was very hard, but that is not 5 bite diet’s fault. At least I reached for black coffee to get through and not food.…[Read more]

I love all your posts Jane! You have such good ideas. Like keeping your pizza toppings. You are most inspiring. You are the 5 Bite Master Chef!

Hi everyone!

I noticed that I wanted a really good pizza, after that fairly dissapointing one that I got earlier today, so I bought a freshly baked calzone from my favourite pizzeria across the street. I  now have it in the fridge, waiting for tomorrow. I’ll save most of it in the freezer in smaller portions later on.

I’m still at goal weight…[Read more]
