Whatever you want: Payday bars, Kind bars, Granola bars.  They are all a good 5-bite meal option.  But ensure that the bar is about 2 oz (no king-sized bars!)

YES!!!!   YES!!!  

So, yesterday at the chat you said you were quite hungry, and rightly so.  But how about today–day #3?  How is your hunger?

For sure it will help.  Come her often and spend time reading/watching.   Your objective here is to get thin and live an extraordinary, exceptional life.  Toward that end, every moment of time that you can spend doing something that doesn’t involve food is time well spent.

Nope.  Absolutely not.  But it would be great if you could participate!!

I love that.  When you become this aware of the process of eating–the flavor of the food, the texture of the food, the after tastes of food (and coffee!), the gradual and comfortable snuffing of hunger–a few things happen:

1.  Food tastes better–obviously–because you are really focusing on the food itself.  When you commit to something, do it…[Read more]

YES, SCS!!!  You have experienced the true power of setting your hungerstat.  It’s amazing, isn’t it?  Although the actual size of your stomach (of course) hasn’t changed a bit, those stretch receptors really do not want to be over taxed, and they’ll make you feel horrible if you try to push the limits.  Simply stated, extra food is not worth it.…[Read more]

Yes indeed!  Brilliant insight, Chloe!!

Wow!  Thanks for posting this, Chloe!

I happened to be at the exact weight I want to be (actually, maybe a pound lighter!), and it’s mealtime, so I’m going to go find something to eat.  But after reading your post, I lost the desire to eat.  Crazy!!

Exactly right, Tonia!  The food that you don’t finish tasting today will be waiting for you at the finish line.  But NOTHING comes even close to tasting as good as being thin feels.  So keep up the good focus and find a way to pass time that doesn’t involve food.  An absolutely extraordinary life awaits you!!!

Right!

Hi Father,

When you are stuck on a plateau, the easiest way to break it is to be perfect.  In fact, go back to bars.  It’s a perfect time.  I know that bars are the least bit exciting, but seeing the scale move down is.  So commit to the bars, keep carbon out of your liquids, and let the breathing happen.  You will HAVE to break the plateau quic…[Read more]

Great guys!!

Hi BeClean!

Fine.  Putting the nuts on a spoon is a great idea.  But boy nuts are tough: they are SO tempting.  (They are normally snack food.)  Nuts come in big packages, and when you’ve had one spoonful, you are so tempted to have another, then another, then another.  But again, as long as you are committed to the finish line and want that more…[Read more]

I LOVE this attitude!  When the hunger starts to hit, focus on nothing but the hunger and ask your body to bring it on!  Bring it on HARD!  Challenge your body to force you to eat–to give in.  NO WAY!  No measly hunger is going to derail me!!  Bring it on!!!

Right!  And how are you doing today, Beclean?  Are you down more weight?

SCS,

You cannot plateau on 5 bites twice a day.  It’s 4 oz of food, which is simply not enough material to keep even the slowest metabolisms from needing to break down fat.  Again, for those in the 200 lb range, they lose roughly 3 pounds of carbon a day through breathing.  So 4 oz in for them is still a net loss of 2.5 pounds a day, more or le…[Read more]

Fine.  Honestly, drinking a Coke Zero daily will NEVER allow you to plateau, but eating too much will.  Have a Coke Zero every day, but stick to 5 bites twice a day as well as you can.  The results are dramatic and exciting.

Yes!!!  Let’s GO!!!
