Hi everyone!

The dots are shaping up.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

I noticed yesterday that I was counting my bites while I was eating my toasted bread with ham and cheese. I also noticed that I was not trying to take smaller bites. I was allowing my bites to be as big as I wanted. It was enjoyable, and it was the first time that I counted my bites in real time, instead of artificially counting them…[Read more]

Hi Allison!

Thank you for sharing.

It’s indeed a big learning and unlearning opportunity to be on the five bite diet.

It’s a new and rainy spring day here now.

My weigth has dropped back to 52.8 kg / 116.4 lbs / 17.6 bmi. I feel happy about this.

I’m not hungry this morning. I’ve had a protein drink. I’ll have lunch later today and that will…[Read more]

The duplicate payment has been refunded.  Best.

woohoo!!!!

Congrats!!!!

What I am learning from your sharing is that goal weight is the beginning of a new way of tracking!  Something I wish I had learned in the 1980s!!!!

Hi everyone!

The dots of today are comparatively spread out. I’ll have the dots more collected tomorrow.

Hi everyone!

I’ve made an adjustment to my note book: meal 1 and meal 2, and below is the number of bites in a circle. I’ve got May 8th, 9th , 10th, and 11th so far.

Hi everyone!

I had my protein drink before lunch today, about one hour before lunch.

My lunch was interesting. I had my planned 20 bites: 5b green peas, 2b rice pirog with egg-butter, 5b of waffled ham and cheese sandwich, and 5b of milk and granola. Then I felt that I wanted more, and I decided to trust that feeling. I thought: if I gain weight…[Read more]

Hi again everyone!

Wishing everyone a happy 5-bite day!

Hi everyone!

I’ve had the 20 b breakfast.

Before breakfast my weight was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

After breakfast my weight was also 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

After a protein drink my weight was 53.3 kg / 117.5 lbs / 17.8 bmi.

About half an hour after breakfast I noticed some complaints inside of me, and it was clear that I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s a new morning here now.

My weight this morning was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.6 bmi.

Following the scale, my weight is down from yesterday, and I will increase my bites to 20 today.

Yesterday my fat mass was estimated to 20.5 % and today it was estimated at 20.2 %.

Now I’ll negotiate a meal plan with myself and listen closely…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I found a picture of a swan landing, and now it’s my new profile picture. The landing looks to be a bit choppy. And now to the dots: they look alright tonight.

Hi everyone!

I have a method update: I’m taking notes of my weight, the date, and my bites per meal, into a bmi list in my notebook now.

I prefer using the bmi list as the baseline for when to change my number of bites up or down. I don’t know yet when to change, or by how much or how little. I’ll follow along closely and see where it goes.

I…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had lunch. I made a last minute swap that possibly worked out ok.

First I had five bites of green peas, then two bites of a Finnish rice pirog, this time without the egg-butter. Then I had five bites of brioche with lingonberry jam, and lastly the swap: slightly more than three-and-a-half bites of chocolate truffle. I enjoyed…[Read more]

ps. I did a taste test comparing the protein powders in water vs in milk, and I found that I prefer the water to the milk. So that’s the plan for now, powder in water instead of in milk. I wanted to test this as I was feeling a bit concerned with the carbons from sugar in the milk. For now, that’s that. I’ll have the milk with granola instead.…[Read more]
