Leona,

If you need to eat at work, choose the breakfast bar. You do need to eat dense food at first when you’re getting used to less volume. Don’t be afraid of hunger though. It’s going to happen. Maybe buy some bars to keep at your desk so you have what you like at hand. Also drink some water right before but not right after. The water causes…[Read more]

YES!  Great recognition: There is always tomorrow!  Right on!!!  

EXACT repeat of yesterday.

Here’s the Lesson:

If I really DO want more than 5 Bites of anything, there’s ALWAYS tomorrow.

Still, left-overs can’t beat fresh. Make enough for today, alone. You’ll thank yourself. (And you’ll get THIN!!!)

Tao

Perfect Tao. Well done on committing  to the five bite diet. Keep reading the book every day and journaling here every day. It really helps.

Joining back tomorrow with day one. You can do this and be there for the summer in no time xxx 

Hello Pia ,

i will be joining you all tomorrow starting five bites. So much have I learnt but have had so,e slips. Love being back here with Dr. Lewis. Always learning one day At a time ! Just writing , I feel I meadiatly a sense of relief knowing that I am grounded and ready to commit to get these pounds off and reach that goal xxx

The fears and myths are what took me off this diet the first time, too.

The BIGGEST head-game I had to get around was the idea of “missing out” on something REALLY amazing.

I have now completely accepted the FACT 5 Bites is ENOUGH for now. ENOUGH was a huge hurdle for me. And, better yet 5 BITES of whatever I want MOST in this meal window of…[Read more]

That’s it!  That’s the secret!  That’s EVERYTHING!  Learn to set your hungerstat, and keep it at that number.  Then just go with it.  Growlings are growling, and are a sign that you are breaking down more carbon that you are taking in.  GREAT!   Keep it all going as is.  You’ve got this!!  

Great job!  You are getting the hang of five bitting.  It’s an awesome tool when you have it mastered.  How is your hunger?

Yes indeed.  As you step back a second and look at your life through a wide-angle lens, you’ll appreciate the unnecessary damage all that weight was doing to your body, and for what?  Nothing!  We all are meant to be thin, but you are actually making it happen.  And at a good pace.  Just imagine how good life is going to be without all of thos…[Read more]

That’s exactly right.  So, just go with it.  The finish line is spectacular!

Brilliant!  That’s completely awesome.  More than anything, don’t you feel like you have gained total control over your weight?  After all, you just voluntarily shed 10 pounds!  AND … with a minimal amount of inconvenience.  How hungry are you?  

Thats great to hear. I’ll log in when I get home. I put in my weight information when I joined. Its not showing on the message footer. I don’t know why. I’ve lost 10 lbs so far.

Thank you for your reply. As I go through life in this body, I find that I’m more sensitive to things than others. In most cases I can take half doses of medicine and have them be effective. I really wanted stimulants to work for weight loss and tried lots of them over the years. Now at almost 50, I’ve finally decided to just go with it instead of…[Read more]

I know most everyone here doesn’t need (or isn’t facing) a weight loss of 100 pounds and then some.

When I’m finished, I will have lost over HALF of myself!!

The 155 pounds I’ll be getting rid of is like TEN 15 pound bowling balls, I’ve had to carry around all day, everywhere.

This program is SAVING my LIFE.

1 day 1 meal.

Slice of tomato between two slices of balogna with a simple sauce of wasabi and soy sauce with salt and pepper.

3 liters of SmartWater throughout the day.

Hi Matt,

I have just finished reading your diary and you back on track which is great. You will wake up Saturday morning and commit to the five bite diet perfectly. We have the tools. It is the mental aspect of it. Keep busy, make a point of reading the book every day. Try and keep the  focus away from food and set yourself a goal by the end of…[Read more]

Great.  Keep going.  You’ve slowed down and are taking a water break.  Fine, but you’ve got to get back on the course and finish the race.  You won’t truly understand the amazing benefits of losing weight until you go all the way–complete your race.  Don’t stop at mile 12 of a 26.2-mile marathon.  Even if you have to walk it, find your way acros…[Read more]

“If you’re tired of
Starting Over,
Stop
Giving Up.”

That attitude, right there, is IT!  That’s it, Tao!  You’ve got this.  It’s all about understanding, then attitude, then commitment, then following through on that commitment.  You are most of the way there.  Stay strong!  Life is going to be INCREDIBLE!  You are rebuilding yourself newer, better, stronger.  I can’t wait!!  

This issue with caffeine?  Yes–probably most people.  I do at times as well.  Caffeine causes detrussor instability–an overactive, hyper-contractive bladder.  BUT, at least for me, the coffee is better than its side effects.
