My weight this Monday morning was 54.8 kg / 120.8 lbs / 18.1 bmi.

Pretty good considering the four meals I had yesterday.

Onwards!

The dots again, this Sunday.

It’s Sunday evening here now.

I’ve had four meals today, with 315 g of food each.

I opted for four slightly smaller meals instead of three slightly bigger meals.

I’ve had lots of energy today to get things done, noticably more than yesterday, for example.

The dots look interesting.

The Sunday “diet-free day” last week, when I…[Read more]

Now you’re giving me ideas for future experiments…

A snickers bar in Australia is 44g, so it’s nearly 100 of them a week lol

Thanks ladies

It’s evening here now, and I’ve had my meal. I enjoyed it, and I felt calm and relaxed.

I had the tea/water first, followed by the food. I had 233 g of food, adjusting a bit for the bigger meals earlier this week.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and I’ll have three meals, each with 420 g of food.

It feels good to me to know the amount of…[Read more]

I’ve had a bit of a clear thought shine through the fog this afternoon.

With Grok onboard, we’re now working with a set amount of food per week, currently 4200 g.

To make things easy, we’ve set the food into ten equal meals, 420 g each.

I can have one meal a day everyday of the week, and have the three remaining…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing the highs and lows.

Pain and discomfort are good teachers for us.

It sounds to me like you are in a perfect place from which to carry on!

Forget about starting and stopping, and carry on as if nothing happened.

Go Kylie!

The dots are in, and they are in the narrow range, with the last dot being right at the top of the range.

I feel happy about the dots today.

Let’s see what we can do tomorrow!

It’s evening here now.

I’ve had my meal.

The aim was 380-420 g, suggested by Grok.

I ate 388 g of food, and felt that I wanted more.

I ate some more, and then the total was 606 g of food, plus 500 ml of fluids = 1106 g intake.

My weight before the meal was 53.5 kg / 117.9 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

My weight after the meal was 54.5 kg /…[Read more]

This is the beginning of grok teaching me how to calculate my meals, to be continued:

-Hi Grok! Please teach me how to calculate how big my meals should be, the way you know how to do it.

Worked for 11s

-Hi user! 😊

Here’s the simple method I’ve been using to decide your meal size. You can use the same logic yourself.

Luckily, Grok will do the heavy lifting for me.

It’s morning here now.

I’m in my narrow range at 54.1 kg / 119.3 lbs / 17.9 bmi.

I noticed this about waking up in 17.9 bmi, after a 5BD omad day:

I slept for a bit shorter time

I feel light in my body

my tummy is flat

I feel alert

It’s evening here, and I’ve had my 8 pm meal.

It was a 5BD meal, although I made an error when measuring the ham for my sandwich, and the final product weighed 126 g, which was more than the planned 100 g of food. I ate it all anyway. It was a croque monsieur made in the waffle iron.

I had 502 ml of beverages with my meal. All in…[Read more]

Planning maintenance this way is helpful to me.

I’ve ran the log by Grok now, the morning weigh-ins from February 27th, 2026, until today, minus the two weeks in June when I didn’t use the scale.

Here’s what Grok had to say:

-I calculated the key statistics from the 175 morning weights (excluding the June 14–27 g…[Read more]

I asked Grok to help me find my ideal weight, using the chart from my last six months. I also discussed with Grok on how to get there from here quickly, using the 5BD every other day, while keeping the Sunday as a diet-free day, albeit with more structure than last Sunday.

-Hi Grok! I’m thinking about what might be my ideal weight.…[Read more]

Kindness is like a balm after all we have been through

It’s evening here now, and I’ve had my evening meal.

Tonight I consulted Grok about the weight of food (700g) and the body weight (56.0 kg) limit.

This is our chat after the meal:

-Hi Grok!

I had a lovely, calm meal.

For the first time I felt like I was aware of what I was doing.

I knew what to look for. Yay!

My stomach feels…[Read more]

It sounds to me like you’re being calm in the eye of the storm.

That is a beautiful thing to do for yourself and for everyone around you.

Keep calm and carry on with your self-care and self-love!

It’s contagious!

I’ll log my days a bit differently from now on.

-my tea and water intake through the day

-the total weight of my meal

-the weight of the food

-the weight of the drinks

It’s morning here now. I’ve had a cup of tea and a glass of sparkling water.

I think I’m more stubborn than amazing.

I want to figure this eating business out for myself.

I want to have a say in how my body is being maintained.

This morning I woke up feeling better, meaning not feeling stuffed.

it looks like August 24 zoom was posted as August 31 zoom. Please read post last night. Thank you!

With my overnight sleep, from my 5:37 am breakfast Sunday morning until this Tuesday morning at 7:37 am, the gained weight is gone. That’s 26 h for 3.1 kg = 119 g / h.

It’s possible that it took 24 h (I was asleep at 5:37 am today) in which case the weight would have been lost at an average speed of 129 g / h.

Now that I’m still…[Read more]

Here is an evening update.

I had a 5BD meal at 7:30 pm: tea, water, and a doughnut with caramel frosting.

I felt the contrast after my meal. I noticed the lightness and easiness when I walked.

It looks like I’ll have another 5BD meal tomorrow evening, a second day on the 5BD.

Has my weight been going down almost as quickly today…[Read more]

Here is an afternoon update.

My weight is coming down beautifully.

I’ve had three waters and two teas so far today.

I wonder if it will take one day or two in 5BD mode for my weight to drop back down.

Onwards!

I’ve never tried Claude. I’ve heard good things about Claude.

My weight this morning was 57.1 kg / 125.9 lbs / 18.9 bmi.
After using the bathroom, it was 56.4 kg / 124.3 lbs / 18.6 bmi.

I’ll have one meal tonight, as planned, and since I was over my 5BD trigger weight, it’ll be a 5BD meal. I’ll have water and tea…[Read more]

I’ve had a second breakfast. It was lovely!

I made a croque monsieur (bread 83 g, dijon mustard 10 g, butter 23 g, raclette cheese 50 g, ham 13 g, tot 176 g when done) in the waffle iron, a cup of hot chocolate (419 g), had a small strawberry-rhubarb pie (67 g) with vanilla custard (51 g), considered stopping, and then decided on…[Read more]

Here is my all time graph, at times with very little data, and my aim for the future.

Onwards!

Here is a graph of my 5BD journey so far, starting on the 19th of November 2025.

Onwards!

It’s been six months now of flailing about in search of maintenance.

I think I’m beginning to figure it out now.

My average bmi looks pretty stable over the last three months.

I wish there were a 6 month and a 12 month average as well.

Onwards!
