Welcome!  I am excited too!

Right.  Again, I recommend getting started with just Snickers to ensure that your hungerstat is set precisely, then venture into 5 bites of regular food.  Start fresh tomorrow. Remember:  eating PERFECTLY is so much more filling that eating a lot of food.  Your go-to should be coffee or water, if you must venture into the kitchen.  But NO FOOD…[Read more]

Hi Sean!  No doubt: Your body would function at it’s best at a weight of around 140 (maybe even lower!!).  That should be our goal.  Is that goal too ambitious?  I don’t think so, but you do have to get comfortable once again with eating just 5 bites.  Treat each meal as a religious cleansing–a near-fasting experience that gives your body and…[Read more]

Great!  I love it!  Start off this week with a bang.  Nothing too big should be going on this week, so this week is a GREAT time to lose weight!  Go for it!!

Wow!  So good to hear from you again, Sean!  How is Northern California?

I am so excited to have you here!  You are truly a professional 5-biter.  But, admittedly, even professional athletes need constant input from their multiple coaches to help them maximize their success.  So I’ll be thrilled to help you get back to your marathon shape as quic…[Read more]

Indeed!

I love your gameplay, Skinny!  Now we just have to find a way to stick to it, come hell or high water, until you cross that finish line.  Yes it will be hard to fend off temptations along the way, but it will be SO WORTH it in the end!  We are all in this together cheering for one another!

Yep.  So if you feel like tonight’s dinner, after 5 bites, wasn’t enough, fill up on the memory of all the food (extra food) you ate during Thanksgiving.  Think of all the different flavors.  Taste the white meat and the dark meat again–with cranberry sauce, of course!  Re-taste everything in your mind, and I think you’ll find it surprisingly filling!

Great.  Start as quickly as you can.  That first perfect 5-bite meal sets all of the wheels in motion, and it’s downhill from there.  But executing that first perfect meal is the hard part.  Skip breakfast and be perfect for lunch.  Then you are perfectly back on track.  You WILL feel so relieved.  You got this!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Yes, today is a free day.  But be smart … be reasonable.  You won’t have fond memories of this Thanksgiving if you way overeat.   I give the same recommendation every year:  Taste everything, finish nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Right.  So now that the day is over and all is said and done, were the extra  bites worth it at all?  Absolutely not!!  Remember this experience the next time you are tempted by food that’s just sitting there.

Good, Skinny!  Remember that this process is a journey of learning.  Learning about carbon, it’s metabolism, and the serious effects of accumulating excess fat.  It’s about learning how to eat less–a TON less–and learning that the body doesn’t need a single thing until the fat is gone.  (Save a multivitamin here and there.)  It’s also a proc…[Read more]

I love all of that Chloe, especially the part about posting daily to keep yourself accountable!

Indeed!  Colds DO kill your appetite, and all you should be taking in is water until the cold goes away.  MOST people, though, feel that eating somehow, someway makes them get better faster.  It doesn’t!!  It might make them feel better at that moment, but even then, food when you are sick isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.  Best thing: take…[Read more]

You are doing AWESOME!!  I love it!!

 Thanks for the plug, Chloe.  Unfortunately, no one showed up tonight.

I love that!  It sounds like you are doing great.

Right!  I want you to think just like you did: we are simply trying to survive each day until we finally cross that finish line.  GREAT!
