Day 17

Made it through!

I think it would be more helpful to stop talking about all the wonderful food I have been eating since people come on here for support. Making a lot of stuff from home, not going over by even one bite. Energy levels weren’t too bad this weekend. Even went for a run!

Great!  I love it!  Let’s see what happens!

Bravo for stopping at 5 bites!

You can do it.!

You got this!

hmmmm

Dr. Lewis and Shelly, Thank you for the welcome. Dr. Lewis to answer your question, I started the 5bd on Friday 9/20/19. I feel fantastic and have not had any of symptoms described in the book. The only thing I’ve experienced is some insomnia.

I weighed myself this morning just for curiosity, and I am already down 2 pounds! Moving forward I p…[Read more]

Cool to see you still going, thought you might have ditched the whole thing. You’re an inspiration!

I like that Becca.  I don’t think I can do the 5 bite perfectly so it’s hard to even get started.  Somehow I think I have to find a way that works for me. With a little different concept.   Thanks Becca.

Yeah, I always loved to start my day with coffee, but never realized how much of an appetite suppressant it is. It’s nice not to feel guilty about extra cups now!  You’re doing great, Chloe!

Yeah, fasting helps a lot. I took a couple of 36 hour fasts spaced out during the week before I started the 5 bite diet. It’s kind of a nice way to push reset. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Just shake it off and start over. It’s a new day.

Thanks doc

Day 16

L: Vegan waffles

D: Homemade bread, and a cookie

didn’t go one bite over 5 on my meals today. Just a new mini french press for myself so I can make coffee quick and easy right after I wake up. Coffee certainly helps!

I haven’t seen her on here in a while, so I think she is continuing her project on her own.  But if she ever returns I’m sure she will respond to you.

But, please go through her posts.  I think that you will find them very inspirational!!

I love that.  Accept the challenge with a determination and intent to defeat it!  This is going to be a great week for you, Chloe!!

This all sounds so good, Becca!  Congratulations!  Isn’t this fun??!!

Then … do it!!

Welcome Yazzy.   We are glad you are here!

I am so tired of feeling exhausted, depressed, and ready to give up.

Yesterday I stopped 2 places for ice cream stuff.  I don’t know why.  I was totally out of control.  And I felt sick after I got done cause I ate too much

today I feel like crap from all the sugar

I don’t have any control. I need to not eat anything and just drink water…[Read more]

I know, I’ve been inconsistent about logging my food, but I’ve been staying the course. I think this past week I felt like I needed a break from focusing on food all the time. I didn’t even want to see stuff about the absence of food if that makes any sense. I just wanted to get my bites in quickly and shift my focus off food and dieting entirely.…[Read more]

Day 15

L: vegan pizza

D: vegan sushi

And I had an extra four bites of cookie from home. Should have just saved my fifth bite. Refocusing my efforts to stick to 5 and 5. I know around the 3rd week is where I caved in my first attempt as well. Just gotta get past that.

I’m losing weight a little slower than I did last time but I think that’s…[Read more]
