ItsMyTime,

Don’t obsess with calories. Just let nature take it’s course. 5 bites and only 5 bites, and your future will be filled with endless opportunities!

Good work, Alki!

You can eat whatever you want, just keep it to 5 bites. I don’t like soup (or chowder–unless it’s real chunky), so have 1 bite of it and be done (5 bites of clam chowder taste no different than one bite). Remember, you are on a mission to get thin, so stay focused and JUST DO IT until you are skinny and spectacular. Then the…[Read more]

Hi Barbara –

Welcome!
In terms of weight loss–you have plotted yourself out on an excellent curve. Just stay focused, eat 5 and only 5 bites (of whatever!) for each meal, and you will no longer be hungry by tomorrow. If you are, you are varying the amount that you eat: even a small difference in the stretch of your stomach from meal to meal…[Read more]

Tginna and Jeffreys –

First of all–good working in starting well on the weight loss program. I’ve have seen this story so many times in my office–10-15 pounds the first week, then 5-8, then 2, etc. It’s not because your metabolism is changing (your hearts are still beating at the same as they did last week, you both are still breathing the…[Read more]

You are right–there are some foods that are worse than other foods, particularly those that are high in cholesterol. Some ‘bad’ foods might contain chemicals that may turn out to be carcinogenic in the future. But what i meant by good and bad is that a calorie is a calorie–and all foods have them.

But yes–just keep plugging…[Read more]

Fantastic! It is so good to have you back. Join in, and encourage others to find the incentives to follow in your successful footsteps!

Please update me at least once a week. I am really looking forward to your progress.

Your bowel movements should slow down to about once per week, if you are doing what I have suggested perfectly.

In terms of what you are eating, there is no such thing as ‘good carbs’ vs. ‘bad carbs’ vs. good foods, etc. It’s all just food. Don’t complicate things. Just follow the program more closely and let nature do the rest. It will.…[Read more]

Yes–that is an outstanding start. You are on your way, no doubt. All you need to do at this point is stay focused until you cross the finish line. Keep up the good work!!

I don’t know exactly why you lost so little weight. My guess is your bites were much bigger than you realized. But regardless, one way or another, you are taking in the calories. Your body, just living (breathing, pumping blood, etc) require about 1800 cal a day, and even if you eat 2 snickers bars in a day you are still 1300…[Read more]

Great work to this point. Yes you are going to think a lot about food, but if you look within yourself you shouldn’t be hungry at this point. So, when it comes time to eat, eat a bite of what you’ve been dreaming of.

As you continue to lose weight your body produces a chemical called aponectin–a hormone that further quells your…[Read more]

Sorry–forgot to answer the first part. As long as there are very few calories in you tea–great have it. But the whole colon cleaner thing…why? As if there were some benefit to getting the poop (that’s going to build right back up again) out of you body. In fact, everything in your stools remains OUTSIDE the body until the sugar, minerals,…[Read more]

Great to have you aboard.

Exercise is entirely up to you–you do not need to exercise, but if you do, your body will get all the fuel it needs from the fat that is stored. I recommend continuing with your current exercise routine.

65 Pounds would be great…but 75 even better. I recommend losing 75 pounds. And if you do…[Read more]

A 2.07 oz Snickers Bar contains 5 bites, the way I envision them. If you chose to eat smaller bites great. Just what ever your bite size is, please stick with it. But this isn’t hard–just eat whatever, and once you’ve had five bites you are done. It’s that easy. Very small variations in size won’t make a difference.

Good luck,…[Read more]

Jeffryes –

Outstanding! You can now appreciate the power of this program! Continue to motivate one another, and let’s have fun!!

Al

JLewis215 –

First, eat anything you want. You want to taste a veggie burger, then great. But please stop after bite number five. A bite should be a normal (the smaller the better) size bite. Your are tasting the food and resetting your hungerstat–you need to be very disciplined and monotonously robotic about how you eat until you have…[Read more]

Tginna-

Great! Amazing, isn’t it. Your body is telling you that what you are doing is a wonderful, natural thing. Just stay focused and finish the job, then live your life vigorously and energetically–empowered like never before!!

Keep us up to date on your success!

Sorry everyone –
I mentioned that I would conduct the chat at 6:30, but forgot to make the announcement on the site. When I opened the chat no one was here. My fault. I’ll make up for it tomorrow night at 6:39 PM PST.

See you then.

Hi Georgiarf –

I don’t recommend forgoing dinner, but have five bites for dinner. Just because you ate too much for lunch doesn’t mean you can’t start on this miraculous journey right away!

Al

Hi ItsMytime –

Can you quantify Whoo Hooo? Just curious.
