:cheer: I like that: Raising the BAR. :woohoo:

Yes … what If? What If? Satisfy that curiosity. You’ll never know until you try it!

Absolutely brilliant, 5BiteGirl! :woohoo:

Great!

Smaro–you need to get in the habit of tasting and throwing. Taste It, and Toss It. Taste it, toss it. Over and over. Taste it, toss it. It is SO CRITICAL that you learn HOW to taste and toss. You’ve learned how to set your hungerstat, now you need to learn how to control those urges; you do so by becoming an expert at the Taste and Toss routine.

Kseveridt–how are you doing?

Right on, Smaro!

What a wonderful turning point, Smaro! Congratulations! It’s amazing, isn’t it, to realize you feel just fine–rather, GREAT!–throwing food away? Now just hang on for the rest of the ride; you will be done before you know it.

That’s it! You simply make the decision to do it, and like flipping a switch, it’s done. From that point forward it just takes time, but it WILL happen. The key, though, is flipping that switch. I love it, Karen!

Again, you are still in the learning phase. With time you will figure all of this out, but you need your slip-ups to learn and grow. Ah, but every time you go back to an exact 5 bites it feels SO GOOD! It’s that amazing feeling of control and empowerment that keeps you coming back for more. And eventually you will end up skinny. Just keep…[Read more]

This is wonderful to hear, Alison! I’m really excited for you and your husband. And it keeps getting better and better. :laugh:

You are indeed doing amazing, Smaro!

Now that your hungerstat is set or about set, do you want to “just go all the way” for 1 week? Are you ready to try a Snickers bar challenge for 1 week?

I recommend that everyon try Snickers for 1 solid week in their life. You only need to do it once, but you learn so much about how YOUR body responds to…[Read more]

Right, Kathy. You are going to feel off the first few days, but food doesn’t make things much better. Your body is adjusting to a smaller volume of food. Let is happen. Eating too much make you feel just as bad but for other reasons. So just stick to the diet and ride it out. Life becomes so good so fast! :woohoo:

No, no! You should sign up for Zoom! (zoom.us)

Welcome, Jackie!

Wow! Great intro. It sounds as if this is the perfect place for you, and I can wait to work with you and see your results. They are going to be GOOD!

A calorie is a calorie–it doesn’t matter what form it enters the body. If you eat exactly 560 calories for every meal, and have just 2 of them a day, and assuming you breathe out 1500 calories worth of carbon a day, you will lose roughly 1000 calories a day. But because 560 calories of one meal is so vastly different in size from 560 calories…[Read more]

Undoubtedly, this is the best birthday gift you could possibly have gotten. Now, let’s have some (dare I say it?) FUN and complete this extraordinary journey! I can’t wait until you cross the finish line!!!

Madeleine,

That’s it! There is no other ideal standard to measure the fat around the belly other than to pinch it! Realistically, I can pinch about 1/4 of and inch, and that’s perfect for me. I want EVERYONE under 1 inch, but some people feel more comfortable with a little more excess fat on their body that others. From a purely scientific…[Read more]

Thanks for putting this out there. Yep! There’s great for so many reasons, but the big one is that they set your hungerstat PRECISELY!
