Fair enough, but PLEASE try as hard as possible to stick to the diet.  If you do, you will see extraordinary weight loss after your cycle finishes.

I love that, Chloe!  You are a superstar!!  

You could do it in a few months, but you shouldn’t look that far ahead at this point.  Just focus on the next meal.  5 bites.  That’s it.  Then focus on not tasting a thing until the subsequent meal.  For me, socials are a blast when you are doing the diet.  They’re exciting!  They’re challenging.  You have to scout out the entire food layout,…[Read more]

Brilliant.  Don’t change a thing.  Just let the process happen.  

Great, Chloe!  And I don’t know about you, but I found that the second time around on the diet was much easier than the first.  What do you think?

The key is to make the ultimate commitment to crossing the finish line, then just settle into a [boring] routine of 5 bites twice a day.  The first few day you are hungry, but then that goes away and you are flying.  Stay strong!  You’ve got this!  

YES!  You are right on the verge of a major breakthrough!  Stay strong today.  We need to achieve a PERFECT day!  

right.  You may go back to more after you lose the weight, but let’s focus on getting the stomach flat first, OK?

Yes.  If a bar is truly 8 bites for you, then I would allow you to eat 8 bites, and EXACTLY 8 bites, at every meal.  But, a couple of things:

1. If your weight starts to stall, your bites are getting too big.  And when you are eating more than 5 bites, the difference in volume become magnified.

2. Our objective is to taste the food and to fi…[Read more]

Oops.  Stay strong.  If the hunger becomes intense and drives you toward the kitchen, remind yourself how uncomfortable the pain of stomach cancer is.  That should help to turn you around.

GREAT!  Welcome!  You WILL see the scale move down … a lot … without changing a thing that you eat.  But you do have to eat just 5 bites of it.  Your hunger will set quickly, and you’ll be on your way to exceptional living!  I can’t wait!  

Your math sounds right.  The trick is to stick to the program perfectly and see what you actually end up losing!  

Awesome powering through yesterday!  You are almost through 3 days!  This is the big one!  Don’t alter the plan by even so much as a crumb.  I’m really cheering you on from my little office in Burbank!!  

Great!

Great.  Now that’s it’s down on paper (or etched in bytes), follow through on your plan.  Trust me: you will feel AMAZING!!!

I love it, Chloe!  

I understand, but a big part of me wants to stress the point: NO EXCUSES.  I know your issues seem to be really “important” and “life-altering,” but time will pass, and you will realize that food in no way altered the course or your issues.  Find a way to deal with the issues without eating.  Again, if you truly want to be thin, then make an un…[Read more]

Great work, Gayle!  Don’t let off the gas pedal.  Let’s finish this project once and for all!!
