Activity

It will be interesting to see if shopping urges and habits calm down and follow along with the weight reduction and hunger stabilization of this diet programme. I’m looking forward to experiencing something new in this area of life.

Lovely done!

I’m an avid shopper. This extends to food as well. In the grocery store, I will buy the attractive things! Yes, I would like to cut back on what I spend but still enjoy.

Today I did well again. For my drink in the morning, I had Chik Fil A Iced Tea Unsweet, and it was good. I had 5 bites at around 2 pm.  3 bites Chik Fil A Hash Brown, 2 bites Chik Fil A Mini Chicken Sandwich. Dinner 630 pm. 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites potato chips. I made it through my 10 hour work day and was not irritable, was able to work…[Read more]

Alaska Gal that makes sense to me!

I’ve tossed out the bread that I had saved in the freezer. I wanted the space for other more beloved food items!

I had actually made up my mind not to buy more food until I’ve finished what I have, and then I saw a bunch of yummy French quiche pies when I was out and about, and I went ahead and bought more food…[Read more]

Interesting.

I find I Dont like to eat the same thing after 2 days so I freeze meals too or I just toss them. We save so much $ on this way of eating. How?

We eat so much less in all areas its just a fact. So that allows me to not feel guilty about tossing. I know what used to be 1 meal for me is now 2-3 days worth so if I made it last past 1…[Read more]

Well done!

I like this JulieNom! It’s a new time for us.

A time of plenty, and of having a stash and not eating it all automatically.

Our stomachs and brains and other organs are thanking us!

I am thinking this way: thinking of having a little stash. This is a side benefit. I am not used to things lasting long. For example, yesterday I wanted potato chips. I got one of the small bags, and ate 2 or 3 as part of my 5 bite meals. It is nice that I still have the bag and the end is not in sight. Another example: on Saturday, my father will…[Read more]

Well done! Much more controlled, Dr A really likes us to have zero calories in our drinks & I do think that is a big factor in the scale moving lower. Try to do your next day with no calorie drinks & 5 bites you’ll  then have did it perfectly!

Cheering you on!

Well done JulieNom!

Hi JulieNom!

I wonder if this could be a hoarding response to being on the diet, wanting to make sure that I have food. Somehow it soothes me to save the food for later.  I appreciate the variety of food that I have available. I watched the survival series “Alone” a year ago and there was one participant who hoarded his food, he dried the meat…[Read more]

I love reading about the beautiful Italian 5 bite diet! There were some foods I had never heard of, and I had fun looking them up on Google. The Italian 5 bite meals sound amazing, and you are a real inspiration!

It’s fun to get creative with the program in this way.

That is so clever and must be very economical also!

I did well so far today. Everything was on point, except I had Chai with sugar and milk in it for breakfast. I have to do better on the breakfast drink tomorrow.

I had another big 10 hour work day, but got through. Lunch 2 pm: 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites salt and vinegar potato chips. Same for dinner 6:30 pm. Little sip of Coke to help my…[Read more]

I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.

Hi Alaska Gal. I am so happy to hear of your 40 pound loss! Well done!
