I forgot to write: when I re-heat the food, it shrinks a little, which affords me to add a splash of sauce and still stay withing the 1 teaspoon volume.

That’s the way! Every day we can improve a little bit and eventually we’ll get there.

Hi again JulieNom,

let me share another little thing or two that is helping me:

when I’m about to have my five bites, rather than thinking that I’m going to eat, I’m thinking that I’m going to taste a few different bites of food. A bit like it’s my job to do a quality control of food at a restaurant.

I sort of think of this diet as a fast, and…[Read more]

Hi JulieNom, the road can be rocky at first. Try again and again, and before you know it, your hungerstat is set to where you want it to be. Small steps of improvement, meal by meal. The smaller your bites the less you’ll poke the hungry bear. I finish my five bites in under a minute. All the best to you!

Excellent! I think highly of glp-1’s. It seems to me that one issue could be that they are sometimes prescribed at too high of a dose, for example when a patient isn’t satisfied with the speed of the weight-loss. Also, it seems that there is a belief that they are somewhat magical, and that as long as you take them, you can eat as much as you…[Read more]

I had a new experience today:

I was out and about and went to a supermarket to have a look.

Looking at the food I felt a strange feeling of not really being enticed by most of it.

I found what I was looking for, bought it, and returned home.

On my way home I stopped at a place and ordered something small for tomorrow.

Then I crossed the…[Read more]

You did it Allison!

Week 4

56.2 kg / 123.9 lbs / 18.8 bmi

Nothing wrong with that!

It’s an interesting and fascinating medicine in my view.

If you don’t mind me asking – what has changed in your food preference so far, other than now enjoying black coffee?

Wishing all the best for you!

Go for it!

Dr Lewis suggested that I try the 5 course mindset, and that’s what I did for my first five bites today.

Instead of having the re-fried oats together with the berry jam, and the shrimp salad together with the tiny pancake, I had each bite by itself as its own course (except for the butter in the pan, which I used both for the pancake and the…[Read more]

Updated goal:

4.1 kg to go (9 lbs) until 52.5 kg (116 lbs) for a 17.5 bmi.

Double-guarding my focus!

Thank you Dr Lewis!
One foot in front of the other like you say.

Thank you Dr Lewis for your words of reason and encouragement! I will let it go when it’s time for it to go.

To reflect furhter, while I now have five different bites in a meal, my meal to meal variation isn’t big. I’m slowly finishing the more perishable food items in my fridge. At the moment I have 9 opened packages that are top priority, and 6 less perishable opened packages.

Thank you Allison! I’m guarding my focus. It was good to watch the last video chat and see you.
