I want you to do what works best for you.  I feel that 5 bites 2x a day is better than 10 bites once a day, but do what you think works best for you and your situation.

Yes.  That’s fine.  The 5BD is just a tool.  A tool that guarantees quick weight loss in as comfortable a manner as possible.  If you need to take a break, fine.  But then you’ll have to go through a few days of hunger as you turn your hungerstat back down to 5 on your next leg of the journey.

Hi Jamie!

Firstly, welcome!!  I’m delighted you’re here.  Please fill out the weight tracker info; it’ll be a way for you and me to interact personally.

There are some issues with 10 bites once a day.  Of course, there isn’t much difference between 10 bites at one time and 5 bites twice a day in terms of calories in, but 5 bites twice a day wi…[Read more]

I love to hear that!!

Honestly, Elizabeth, I would be THRILLED with you achieving a BMI of 19.  It might also be the perfect weight for you.  But we won’t know that for sure until you get there.

You are doing great, though, Kylie!!  Don’t change a thing.  Just settle in for the ride and go with it!

You can totally do this.  So do it!!

Hang in there.  You will feel amazing in a relatively short period of time.  Just hang in there …

There is no easy way to do that, but you could manually go back and change each week to reflect your current weight.  Then, as the weeks tick by, update week #2, then week #3, etc.  OR, just leave it as it is and keep going.  You can go either way.

It’s a good start, but the key is consistency.  Get into a boring, monotonous routine of 5 bites twice a day.  Sure, the bites themselves can be spectacular, but eating should be deliberate and done–and boring.  Day in, day out.  Until you are living that fantasy life we all dream about.  It won’t take too long.  Just get into a consistent, borin…[Read more]

Letileti–That’s fine.

GREAT job, Kylie!!!

Welcome back, Stefanne!  I truly believe this is the perfect place for you, and we’ve got a great group of people to work with to help you.  Getting comfortable throwing food away is SO KEY, and something I will emphasize again and again.  Even if it’s just a little bit of the left over food at first, I want you to ALWAYS throw some food away.  H…[Read more]

I love that idea, but maybe I can help you too!  Please detail and weakness and breakdowns you get along the way, and I’ll see if we can come up with something to prevent it from happening again.

Right.  And remember that it feels GREAT to lose weight quickly.  So much better than the extra bites would have tasted!

Great!

It’s great to see you here, Letileti!   All the way from France!

Hi Diet Diva!  Welcome!

You can work out while doing this diet, but working out plays a very small role in losing fat.  It may boost your natural endorphins and make you feel good, which is great, but it also jacks up your appetite.  So, exercise minimally while on the diet, and instead focus on sticking to the diet.  Eating a perfect 5 bites and…[Read more]
