Alaska Gal that makes sense to me!

I’ve tossed out the bread that I had saved in the freezer. I wanted the space for other more beloved food items!

I had actually made up my mind not to buy more food until I’ve finished what I have, and then I saw a bunch of yummy French quiche pies when I was out and about, and I went ahead and bought more food…[Read more]

Interesting.

I find I Dont like to eat the same thing after 2 days so I freeze meals too or I just toss them. We save so much $ on this way of eating. How?

We eat so much less in all areas its just a fact. So that allows me to not feel guilty about tossing. I know what used to be 1 meal for me is now 2-3 days worth so if I made it last past 1…[Read more]

Well done!

I like this JulieNom! It’s a new time for us.

A time of plenty, and of having a stash and not eating it all automatically.

Our stomachs and brains and other organs are thanking us!

I am thinking this way: thinking of having a little stash. This is a side benefit. I am not used to things lasting long. For example, yesterday I wanted potato chips. I got one of the small bags, and ate 2 or 3 as part of my 5 bite meals. It is nice that I still have the bag and the end is not in sight. Another example: on Saturday, my father will…[Read more]

Well done! Much more controlled, Dr A really likes us to have zero calories in our drinks & I do think that is a big factor in the scale moving lower. Try to do your next day with no calorie drinks & 5 bites you’ll  then have did it perfectly!

Cheering you on!

Well done JulieNom!

Hi JulieNom!

I wonder if this could be a hoarding response to being on the diet, wanting to make sure that I have food. Somehow it soothes me to save the food for later.  I appreciate the variety of food that I have available. I watched the survival series “Alone” a year ago and there was one participant who hoarded his food, he dried the meat…[Read more]

I love reading about the beautiful Italian 5 bite diet! There were some foods I had never heard of, and I had fun looking them up on Google. The Italian 5 bite meals sound amazing, and you are a real inspiration!

It’s fun to get creative with the program in this way.

That is so clever and must be very economical also!

I did well so far today. Everything was on point, except I had Chai with sugar and milk in it for breakfast. I have to do better on the breakfast drink tomorrow.

I had another big 10 hour work day, but got through. Lunch 2 pm: 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites salt and vinegar potato chips. Same for dinner 6:30 pm. Little sip of Coke to help my…[Read more]

I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.

Hi Alaska Gal. I am so happy to hear of your 40 pound loss! Well done!

Welcome back JN!

Your at where I started.

It’s been journey for me to get where I am longer than I thought it would be.

Thankful I keep making progress.

Progress will get me to my finish line.

& it will get you there too!

It will get all of us there!

📣Yay!!!!!

That’s the way! Every day we can improve a little bit and eventually we’ll get there.

Thank you, Allison and Jane! You have such good tips and positivity. This diet seems to be a mind set. Today I did well. I woke up determined. I just had a latte, Snickers bar for lunch at 2:40, Snickers for dinner at 7. Nothing else. The only deviation was milk and syrup in my large coffee as I don’t like black. I had a long hard work day too,…[Read more]
