You bet!!

Still, a great start.  But now that you’re feeling more comfortable with this diet, lets see what this next week brings with smaller bites!!!

I love, love, love that!!!

Me too!  

Great!!

Don’t give up on the diet–or it’s structure–just yet.  If five bites just simply won’t work for you, how about 15 bites?  Can you do that?  The key–for you–is that you find a way to consistently take in less material than what your body naturally uses up, and to do it in a way that is sustainable.  I fear that if you don’t stick to a str…[Read more]

Perfect, Sstroh!  I’m so excited for you!  You’ve done it!  You are here!  Now PLEASE heed my advice: don’t EVER change the volume you eat until you fully cross the finish line.  You just don’t want to have to reset your hungerstat.  Admittedly, it’s easier the second time, but why go there?

Sorry, Sheila.  It was a great chat, but once again my file became corrupted in processing, so I can use it.

Good discovery!  Because 5 bites is so little food, why not go all the way and eat just the volume that I’m asking?  Even though your bites will be smaller, they will taste the same and your enjoyment of those bites will be the same.  So start today!

Fair enough.  Things should set soon.  How do you feel today?

Music to my ears!  Congrats!!

Does 126590 do it?

Hold on a sec … I’ll get it for you.  I can’t believe it keeps doing this on me.

Sstroh–losing the weight will absolutely help!  The reason why I wanted to know what you were eating is because you may not be giving your hungerstat a chance to reset:  You may be varying the bite size too much from one meal to the next.  Often, for this reason, I recommend starting off on just bars, like Snickers.  But I’m OK with you tou…[Read more]

Right BK … It’s tough, and it’s especially hard to stay focused and on point for extended periods of time.  But just think of the rewards for doing so!!   And, after all, I’m not asking you to do some completely exhausting and unsustainable form of exercise.  The program is hard to get started on the right foot–but a lot ea…[Read more]

Is the hunger getting better?  It absolutely will.  Can you tough it out until it does?

What have you been eating?

Fine.  But you won’t remember dining-in at this particular restaurant in a month (or so), and certainly the memory of the food itself will be long gone.  So was it worth it?  Probably not.  The extra bites will have turned your hungerstat up such that when you try and eat just 5 bites your appetite will crave more.  The extra bites will have adde…[Read more]
