I had some very bad nightmares, very bad. One was a very bad false awakening. Then my last dream was very beautiful. I was in Italy. I walked down a street with old buildings, and it was just gorgeous. I said, “open my heart and you will see, ‘graved upon it, Italy.” Then, I was in a huge mall that went on and on and on, with pastries on and on…[Read more]

Nothing wrong with smaller bites.

Hi everyone!

My brush with goal weight was short-lived, and was followed by ten days of bouncing up and down. I maxed out at 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs over my goal on the fourth day. Let’s call it getting a bit carried away with food, and also getting a bit carried away with having more meals in the day. Obviously I made the “more meals” one up…[Read more]

Daily diary for Monday: tried eating different things, such as yoghurt for breakfast, and hummus. My body seems to like the fasting better. I ended up feeling sleepy and grouchy at work. Very sleepy, even not eating big meals, and food just does not satisfy me. I really think my body prefers to use the old fat, and it rebels when I go off the 5…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom!

Hair in the food and soggy croissant – that wasn’t what you wanted.

I hope you’ll find what works for you soon!

If you feel like eating eating, then it could be too big volume of food?

When I ate bigger volume I wanted more more more.

Small bite (perhaps even just one bite?) and see what happens?

Wishing you a good day!

Bad, bad weekend, very bad!

On Saturday, I went to breakfast with my father at 7 am. I was sound asleep, but went to make him happy. He had to send his eggs back as they were barely done, and mine were just liquid. Uh, it was not hard to stick to 5 bites. Then, I came home and fasted for four hours, and I was happy. I sat outside, and got my nice…[Read more]

You’re getting closer and closer JulieNom!

Yesterday I woke up quite motivated, and I had half a bottle of water, medication, and vitamins, as well as coffee with creamer. Next, I went to an eye doctor appointment. I came home and I wanted to eat lunch — I wanted a club sandwich. I ordered one, and it was huge and enormous. I had four bites of one of the little triangle sandwiches, and…[Read more]

A fresh start is always available! You can try it and see what happens.

Thanks Jane! Yesterday I ate, I don’t even know what. I ate breakfast, which did not help me. I was not motivated, and skipped going in to work two hours early for overtime. I stayed outside listening to music and thinking of the cruise I had been on. Yes, I was going to give up on 5 bite, but walking around outside, I noticed that my clothes fit…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom!

It’s interesting to read what’s going on. In the future when you look back I think you’ll have a little smile about it all!

Remember what Dr Lewis is suggesting: eat the five bites quickly and then be done with eating until next time. Under a minute and that’s that!

Try to think of the food a little bit like medicine – something we…[Read more]

Last night I was not able to go to sleep, and I got up and ate. Not 5 bites either. I had cookies, and the chips and sour cream dip. I had seen some jelly beans in the kitchen earlier in the day, and I wanted some, but of course I said no. But after I ate the cookies and the chips, I went back to get some, and they were gone. I was upset. I regret…[Read more]

Today I woke up excited and motivated, and had my black iced tea with creamer. I had super energy again. I did not get hungry until 11:30 am. At that time, I decided to try a new routine. I had my first 5 bites (brownie) during my 10 min break at 12:45, and my second 5 bites (McDonalds Fish Filet and French Fries with Unsweet Tea) during my second…[Read more]

We’re learning and learning. More experiences and more awareness!

I did not write up the rest of yesterday. I went off the rail yesterday: had a dinner, and forgot to take my vitamin. Was not worth it. I had the Lean Cuisine Shrimp Scampi and it had an awful fake sauce, plus it was hard to chew. I was way too tired for dinner anyway, and just wanted to go to bed. Now I feel bloated, as I had cookies also. I…[Read more]

I was so motivated this morning! I feel great after no breakfast and my morning caffeine drink (with cream though). Then, for lunch, I decided to have 5 bites of potato chips with sour cream dip: always my favorite. Well, that was not filling at all, so I ended up eating more of them, and cookies as well. I never noticed before that potato chips…[Read more]

Thanks! I know you will hit your goal soon!

I am sorry I missed your post earlier. It has been a very hectic life for me lately with traveling for work. I hope you are doing well. There are some videos out there called the winning lifestyle. And when you hear them describe their diet it is very similar to what I’m doing here with just very little food to five bites in our case on three d…[Read more]
