Hello, i am back!!!

I was off the program for a little while…several things going on in my personal life and i found it hard to focus on the diet but i am back on track!

I kept using the bite counting method here and there so there was not any gain whatsoever, but not any significant loss either.

Good  news is,  the last three d…[Read more]

This is Day 1 of not counting bites, but eating fixed meals of standard bites like:

Cereal bars

Candy bars (with nuts for the protein)

Protein bars

Breadstick+cheese or egg

I have counted the bites in all these tiny tiny meals and they fit into the five bite diet. Each one of them contains about 200-250 Kcals. So i don’t have to count bites…[Read more]

Imagine if every person who binged on food was a cheater     lol

The book has a point though, stay away from temptation

I am also starting with bars tomorrow, 6-4-2021. It is way easier than counting 5 bites.

It is cereal bars for me, snickers is very overwhelming after a day or two.

When i want something savory, it will be a standard breadstick and a serving of french cheese. I counted this to be 5-6 bites.

You have done this before and there is no reason why…[Read more]

Yes, Rachel, this is often happening to me and i am trying to see the bright side of not having a scale.

Right now i will try to focus on the positive side of no scale.

I will master 10 bites a day.

Dr Lewis, for a woman my age, height and health status, what is a realistic goal eating 10 bites a day?

Can i lose 100 pounds in 13 weeks?

Last few days have been difficult.

I missed my weigh-in last Thursday because i simply don”t know how much i have lost. My scale died and all the shops are closed due to pandemic lackdown. I changed the batteries one day before the weigh-in hoping it will come back to life but thats not it.

Its funny that i have this scale since 2008 and it…[Read more]

I kind of messed up the last three days. It has been a national holiday and food was abundand. We were invited to my mother’s house and she also packed food for us to take when we were leaving. Fried stuff and everything.  I ate more than i should. Not bingeing like i used to, but more than my counted bites. I did not gain the last three days,…[Read more]

I actually enjoy the light feeling of an empty stomach. I also think faster, smarter and more efficiently when i have an empty stomach. Like i had a good rest or something.

10 bites a day is my goal and i will get there soon! I will definitely decrease the bites to 18 this week, i want to get there slowly without my brain “realizing” it !!!

I am curious about something i have been reading, dr Lewis… What about adaptation to low calories? Diet and fitness experts claim that after a few days, the body adapts to the…[Read more]

I am sorry for your loss…

Not weighing except for weekly weigh-ins is a good decision. I also decided to stay away from the scale, too much weighing seems confusing and counterproductive.

Yesterday was the last day of week 1. I lost 5 pounds and though it might not seem much, it was a huge relief for me.

The weight loss would be much more if it had not been for a day when i ate freely, because of social sircumstances.

Had i not joined the community a week ago, my weight would now be 5 pounds more than my initial weight. I was…[Read more]
