I am no expert at this diet, beclean, but if I get the urge to eat when it’s not the designated time to eat, I tell myself, “nope, you have to wait until 6:30 PM” or “nope, you have to wait until tomorrow at lunchtime.” I then get a glass of water or a cup of tea to fill the void. For me, by not even engaging in a dialogue or the negotiation with…[Read more]

GREAT…!

Yes, I have to focus as well on the bites. I would like to take the bite and that’s it. But sometimes, I say to myself, well this is like half a bite, so I can take two bites because the bite was so small.

So I want to just take the bite as it is and count it as a bite. Prepare before given the bite and say: this is will count as a…[Read more]

YES…

Bring it on..!!!

But this happens when I catch myself in the wave of the urge, sometimes before, the wave took me all the way to the kitchen and you forget it’s just FAKE urge…

So I guess, every afternoon I tell myself to be PRESENT, to watch out for the wave, so when it comes, I can challenge it, but just allowing the fake…[Read more]

@beclean, I’m doing alright, I’m down a bit in weight, a few slip ups but mostly on track. Thanks for checking in. Yeah it has been easier to open up the field of what I can eat, things are less tempting if I have the sense that I can just eat it later. Nothing is off limits so I’m less enamored by things. And counting the bites, being super aware…[Read more]

I LOVE this attitude!  When the hunger starts to hit, focus on nothing but the hunger and ask your body to bring it on!  Bring it on HARD!  Challenge your body to force you to eat–to give in.  NO WAY!  No measly hunger is going to derail me!!  Bring it on!!!

Right!  And how are you doing today, Beclean?  Are you down more weight?

HI spider…

How are you doing?… I guess the freedom to eat bites of any kind of food feels like freedom. I remember telling me “I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT” as a mantra, when someone ask me about the diet, I said that, I just didn’t told them JUST A COUPLE OF BITES. 😂 …

let us know how are you doing… 5 days out of 8 it’s not bad, I guess…[Read more]

@beclean yeah some of those phrases like “it’s only food” land well with me when I’m really in the groove, but other times not so much. The better I do with this diet, the more certain phrases like that act as little helpful reminders.

I have been off track a bit, I would say I was only on track for about 5 out of the last 8 days. And that has…[Read more]

Yes “spiderchlome”

I haven’t read all the thread, but I LOVED the last words “it’s only food” GOD, it’s so true, and the terrible side effects it has done in my life. I guess we need to  get few life experiences before we take it seriously. I did it few years ago and lot 55 pounds, yet I didn’t follow through to the finish line, (regardless…[Read more]

Yes, great explanation…

I love the part where the bites keep the GI track functioning, because in the past, out of my desperation to lose the weight fast, I have gone into juice fasting or water fasting, and it was a disaster once you try to “wake up” the intestine. It was painful. I went into a juice fast of 75 days, where at the end I was…[Read more]

Such a great explanation. Thank you!

SCS,

You cannot plateau on 5 bites twice a day.  It’s 4 oz of food, which is simply not enough material to keep even the slowest metabolisms from needing to break down fat.  Again, for those in the 200 lb range, they lose roughly 3 pounds of carbon a day through breathing.  So 4 oz in for them is still a net loss of 2.5 pounds a day, more or le…[Read more]

Still trucking but with a few bumps in the road. I just got access back to the forums and the videos and it helps a lot to go back and watch how I described my experience last year. It helps put me in the mindset to continue. Good luck everybody with this weekend. It’s just food!

I am thrilled that plateauing isn’t a big issue on the 5-Bite Diet. Yeah!

poppycat and lasalleop

I love the word from poppycat be a perfect five biter…🤓

lasalleop, write it here every morning, I will be watching, given that the updates are weekly on the weight tracking, we don’t get to share our half pound or one pound weight loss, but write it here, it’s a HUGE milestone… I normally lose like half of half pound a…[Read more]

Dear SCS

The beauty about this diet is that you don’t stop loosing weight. (as far as my own experience went) and believe me, my metabolism is very efficient (like dr. lewis likes to call it in a positive note 😂 ). The Diet Coke didn’t make me plateau, it was more the slow metabolism I have that it was so slow the rhythm at witch I was losing…[Read more]

Well this is crazy, for anyone that is struggling with losing weight slowly…

I put on two sweaters and a jacket, double pants, double socks and a winter hat. I didn’t change anythings else in my routine, witch is (two bites once a day at 5:oopm, coffee, water, centrum vitamin and not moving, I don’t do any exercise). So I just added the clothe,…[Read more]

Awwww my!!! How exciting !!!! Have a super weekend and wishing you focus, strength and determination to be a  perfect five biter

Got it!!
