Activity

I’m hoping to be able to next Monday! The chats fall right around my sons bedtime routine so I have to get it on my schedule with my husband.
My day finished strong I’m hungry but I’m looking forward to being a little lighter tomorrow

I like that.  How about join me for the chat?  Maybe I’ll be able to inspire you.  

Starting fresh today! Focused on my motivation to be thin and if I truly want it! The answer is yes! Been watching videos to stay motivated. Threw away food during my first meal which is always very hard for me, so that was a win. I want to go straight to the finish line and be done.

Hi Strawberry!  Welcome!

This is a tough journey, but it IS doable, and we are here to make it as easy as possible.

Please engage in the community forum as often as possible.  I find that this will really help you.

Fill out the weight tracking info.  When you do I will look at it and get back to you with a bunch of questions.  I will be abl…[Read more]

Tomorrow will be my first day on the 5 bite diet…I’m finding this to be overwhelming and I’ve already given in.  Any kind or supportive words out there ?? xx

Thanks everyone!  I am trying to do my best.  The first few days were hard (mentally not physically).  I ended up eating an extra protein bar each day.

Yesterday was a better day, no extra bites.  I am waiting to weigh in until Friday (I think), so I am not sure where I am at yet in terms of weight loss.  But I do feel a little lighter alre…[Read more]

Right.  If you look too far down the road it can be overwhelming.  Instead, there is a prize waiting for you at the end of each day: you are a little lighter, you feel a little better, you are a little healthier, and you are a little closer to being done forever.  It’s all good, and you get to experience these feelings EVERY SINGLE NIGHT until yo…[Read more]

I second that, Rachel!

BK — how are you doing?

I am doing well! Back at it as of today. Sticking to bars and keeping it simply. I really need to set my hunger stat and then move on to regular food. Trying to focus on each day rather than jumping ahead!

Glad your back Rachel! This is definitely a journey and we all get off track sometimes. I understand the Whole Foods/vegan approach and how it is hard to believe in 5 bites at times. I know my family always tries to persuade me to just eat healthy and in moderation. Yet the weight never comes off! I hope you are doing well so far on your reset!

Great job coming back Rachel I’m cheering for you I was in the same spot as you 10 days ago I’m on my 10th day of snickers now and I’m feeling so much better ! And I can already fit in my clothes way better it’s amazing how fast five bites works!
keep that determination and you will loose those 20lbs fast!you got this

This is day 1 of my reset after my recent epiphany.

Day 1 Reset
SW 194.4
CW 194.4

The first 7 days will be protein/candy bars only – 1.8 oz or less, for lunch and dinner.

Confession time – I have been struggling all these years with knowing how effective the 5bites strategy is, and what years of vegan (whole foods plant based) nutritional data was telling me.  I think this struggle is what kept pulling me off 5 bite.  My research kept telling me that I needed to just refine my diet to plant based food, and t…[Read more]

Because fruits and veggies are PURE CARBON!  You body breaks down all those chains of carbon (cellulose) in your stomach, the indifividual carbon atoms are absorbed into the body, and then they are reassembled as sugar!  So, eating fruits and veggies is eating sugar.  How much sugar?  Well, that all depends on VOLUME.  That’s why volume is key.…[Read more]

Yes!  So much more to life than eating excess food.  No need to eat more than 5 bites on a regular basis.  What is hard for me is to understand why volume still matters when I am eating fruits and veggies only…but I am learning!  I had the lesson of my life last month.  Only fruits and veggies for 30 days, and I blew up 20lbs! 

Becky – how are you doing?  I am back as well, after a short break.

Right.  But once you realize that this is your top priority, and that, without a doubt in your mind, you are going to do the plan perfectly, this enormous weight is instantly lifted off your shoulders.  You instantly feel excited and giddy about the future.  Because, from that point on, no one and nothing can stop you!

Starting this week fresh and with a commitment of bars for the next two weeks. I’ve been watching the 2015 videos with Michael and watching someone just crush this plan perfectly is very motivating. I’ve been reflecting on my true desire to actually lose the weight. Dr. Lewis mentions often that you have to truly want it more than anything. Thi…[Read more]
