Sorry for the rotated pics. :dry:

Hello! I am so glad we are all doing this together! People supporting each other can do great things!

Checking in after a perfect 2nd day..
No cravings, no struggling, no nothing. Just me doing my thing so naturally and easily

Lunch: 5 bites (measured) of homemade sheep yoghurt (my grandma made this! :kiss:) and a bit of breadstick with…[Read more]

How does it feel to be a CHAMPION? A champion is a competitor that gives it her/his all especially when it gets tough. If it were easy everyone would be skinny ! Of course not everybody has the tools of the five by diet that we have. They don’t know that once we get 3 to 5 to 7 days under our belt he gets much much easier. Sometimes they…[Read more]

Brenda: Fat is PURE carbon! When you breathe, you lose carbon; by definition, you are losing pure fat. The only way fat’s carbon leave our body is through our breath, in the form of CO2. You lose roughly 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 carbon atoms, amounting to 0.06 gm of fat, with each breath!

A fat…[Read more]

This is a great thread. Keep up the great work everyone!

Beth … your “pre-hypertension” is the basic reason why this diet is so important for you (and everyone else). It’s all about our health. I don’t want you anywhere near having hypertension. And remember that hypertension is just one (of thousands) of markers of inflammatory disease, all of which stems from excess abdominal fat. So do it for…[Read more]

YES, 5Bitegirl: the farther along this journey you go the easier and easier it gets to manage the hunger. Of course we all feel hungry from time to time–even me–but it’s so fleeting it’s no big deal. If you asked me the last time I truly felt “hungry” I couldn’t tell you. It just doesn’t make an impression on me because it is so short-lived.…[Read more]

Doing well, but I have definitely had more hunger and cravings the past few days. I truly believe that they are caused by greater stress. I don’t mean that I’m having mental temptations for “emotional eating.” I mean that I actually have physical changes that cause greater hunger when I am stressed. I’ve always suspected it, but I can truly…[Read more]

Sounds great, Brenda! I look forward to hearing how it goes! :cheer:

My, goodness! So sorry, Beth! I must say that I’m amazed you’re doing so well with 5biting while having pneumonia!!

I hope both health issues resolve very quickly. I know you’re having great success with 5biting and are improving your health in many ways at this very moment!

Good morning Ladies!! It’s Thursday and Day 4 for me. I’m doing this right along with you. I was hungry and craving a bit yesterday. Every day gets a bit easier. TOM paid a visit which could explain some of that. Nevertheless – I am resolute in my commitment to do this till Sat, May 13.

Stay strong my friends! It is so worth it!!!

Let’s check in…[Read more]

Take care of your health first!! Perhaps you want to speak to Dr Lewis

We are indeed doing great! :woohoo:

Checking in after a perfect 5-bite day (day 1 of this challenge).

Great job, Smaro!!

I’m so excited for all of us. I know we will have amazing results after 2 weeks of perfection!! :cheer:

I was shocked yesterday while at my Doctor’s to find out that my blood pressure is in the prehypertension category! I’ve always been on the extremely low side, so to find that it jumped that far was pretty shocking. I also found out that I have pneumonia, but I haven’t let those things set me back – it just further verifies why I need to keep…[Read more]

You DO have this!!

Day 1 has been so easy. I own this.
I can feel my digestion getting better!

Lunch: 1 soft-boiled egg with a small piece of breadstick with sunflower seeds and spirulina

Dinner: 2 small pieces barley bread with 2 pieces soft cheese

You don’t have to do bars if you don’t want to. Snickers get boring really soon. I find it easier with real food. You are better satisfied because you eat whatever you want. No cravings…

On the other hand, bars are a practical solution. You just open one and that’s it

Sounds like a great plan!

My adherence to the five-bite protocol has been choppy, but in the first two weeks, I lost 5 pounds, and a total of 11 inches from “waist,” chest, arm, and mid-thigh. My trainer was surprised, as she states that inches are harder for most people to lose. Here’s to a loss of them for you, too!
