It is ENTIRELY a propaganda myth. Read my book again. Your metablism–the rate at which your major organs work–doesn’t change. And there is nothing you can do to alter it. So don’t worry about it. As long as you are breathing (and losing about 8/100ths of a gram with each breath) you are STEADILY losing weight. The same now as when you are…[Read more]

How true indeed!

Sorry, Candace. This was a casualty of our recent software upgrade. This has now been fixed, but the code has changed. To make this work please revisit your weight tracking page, copy the new code and paste it into your profile signature field. It should now appear and update automatically with your latest weight tracking information.

I am sure our PANCREAS must be taking a lot of rests this days…

before you get “too” low in your sugar, your body will eat your fat… amazing isn’t it… we just need to TRUST the process, and really stop counting calories so that we have a window of freedom open up and not adding restriction to ourselves.

Panic can be very tricky, maybe when…[Read more]

Don’t beat yourself up Rach. Tomorrow is a new day. Just eat less tomorrow, matbe get some excercise. It won’t be the end of the world

Bullion is almost pure salt–I don’t think many calories–and in that sense it’s ok. You’ll then drink a lot of water, because your body’s going to demand it, and you’ll put on some weight (water weight), but it will all wash out of your system relatively soon. But for those who have heart or kidney problems, bullion is NOT a good idea.

Me too. I often wonder …

OF COURSE we are going to have those feelings. MUST BE HORRIBLE to feel them, I wish she will jump in, and tell us how it went… I am so curious about what happen to her…!

OK, well now I feel kinda’ ‘slow’ on this whole ‘THROW YOUR FOOD AWAY’ thing! I now (after reading your reply), understand that it is to PRACTICE for maintenance’s sake! Correct me if I’m wrong, Doc, but it seems like if we make 5-bite meals we will still be ‘cleaning our plates’ whereas if we make a MEAL and throw the rest of the food away we…[Read more]

Just so you know… you are an inspiration!! you are, as of this post, where I am trying to be! (well I need to be 1 lb. less), but still! Its so nice to see it CAN BE DONE! so I’m sorry this wasn’t a happy post for you, but u really encouraged me! so thank you!

Hi caitlin!

I just bought a bag of snickers myself!

I just wanted to encourage you. I started on this last Thursday to eat only 5 uniform, medium to small bites. Nothing big at all. Actually, when I eat a snickers I end up throwing one bite away! (since it is actually 6 bites for me)

My first 3 days were not fun. Today it is 5 am in…[Read more]

Franca – Whenever you feel this way, stop fretting it. It just doesn’t matter. Just lose the most amount of weight that you can at this point, which means that you need to pretend like this is day #1 of the diet. Be excited with your success to this point, and most of all, get excited about where you are going. Then, actually look forward to a…[Read more]

Good for you on the 2 lbs! That is fantastic!!! Don’t apologize for the long post either! I love reading about other people’s successes…It’s totally motivating!!

Keep up the GREAT work!! I can’t wait til I catch up!

Please don’t get discouraged. I went through the same thing when I started the second time. I wouldn’t lose much for a coupse of weeks, then some week, lose a bunch. It is hard to stay motivated when you don’t see the results you expected. Just remember, being perfect for 2 weeks. you are over the first big hurdle, just getting started again.…[Read more]

You heard of the expression "one day at a time" well there were times when I had to take it one hour at a time. I would actually write on a piece of paper "made it to 2:00" "made it to 3:00" and so on. Seeing it written down in black and white gave me a sense of accomplishment. There is nothing like the feeling at the end of the day, knowing you…[Read more]

Yes. That’s the right one. BUT … you don’t have to eat the whole thing. I know they are 5 big bites, but a Snickers gives you the idea of the ABSOLUTE MOST you should ever put in your stomach for a meal.

But, if 5 of your bites are smaller, stop and throw the remainder of the Snickers in the trash. Or, if after 3 bites you decide that the…[Read more]

It varies from person to person, but I’d say about 1 month. That’s if you eat nothing but 5 bites twice a day for 30 days (but we are just talking about 30 days, right? Not bad!) Typically, we lose from a 1/2 a pound to 1 pound every eight hours of living. Your 2.5 pounds in 24 hours fits this model. Remember, you body never stops blowing off…[Read more]

Great, Yodelpop. I’ll do everything in my power to hold you to it. Please keep us updated on your success! I look forward to next week’s weigh-in!

"Better waste than waist" I like that saying! I think it will be my mantra from now on
The good thing about this program is that you can just jump right back on the wagon, even the minute after you had your disaster moment But the key is to jump back on RIGHT AWAY and not wait until the next day because that next day might never arrive…that is…[Read more]
