Hi everyone!

I’ve had my evening meal now.

The meal weighed 1823 g, of which solid food 1276 g, and drinks (water, tea, and milk) 547 g.

Before my meal my weight was 53.7 kg / 118.4 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

After my meal my weight was 55.7 kg / 122.8 lbs / 18.4 bmi.

After using the bathroom my weight was 55.4 kg / 122.1 lbs / 18.3 bmi.

I feel a bit…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now. I’m soon going to have my one and only meal for today.

My weight has dropped to below the ad lib line, currently at 53.6 kg / 118.2 lbs / 17.7 bmi.

I am now testing the numbers from the past few days to caluclate how much I can eat tonight, and arrive tomorrow at or under the weight that I’ve set as the…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

With my overnight sleep, from my 5:37 am breakfast Sunday morning until this Tuesday morning at 7:37 am, the gained weight is gone. That’s 26 h for 3.1 kg = 119 g / h.

It’s possible that it took 24 h (I was asleep at 5:37 am today) in which case the weight would have been lost at an average speed of 129 g / h.

Now that I’m still…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is an evening update.

I had a 5BD meal at 7:30 pm: tea, water, and a doughnut with caramel frosting.

I felt the contrast after my meal. I noticed the lightness and easiness when I walked.

It looks like I’ll have another 5BD meal tomorrow evening, a second day on the 5BD.

Has my weight been going down almost as quickly today…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is an afternoon update.

My weight is coming down beautifully.

I’ve had three waters and two teas so far today.

I wonder if it will take one day or two in 5BD mode for my weight to drop back down.

Onwards!

Hi Kylie and everyone!

I’ve never tried Claude. I’ve heard good things about Claude.

My weight this morning was 57.1 kg / 125.9 lbs / 18.9 bmi.
After using the bathroom, it was 56.4 kg / 124.3 lbs / 18.6 bmi.

I’ll have one meal tonight, as planned, and since I was over my 5BD trigger weight, it’ll be a 5BD meal. I’ll have water and tea…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve had a second breakfast. It was lovely!

I made a croque monsieur (bread 83 g, dijon mustard 10 g, butter 23 g, raclette cheese 50 g, ham 13 g, tot 176 g when done) in the waffle iron, a cup of hot chocolate (419 g), had a small strawberry-rhubarb pie (67 g) with vanilla custard (51 g), considered stopping, and then decided on…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is my all time graph, at times with very little data, and my aim for the future.

Hi everyone!

Here is a graph of my 5BD journey so far, starting on the 19th of November 2025.

Hi again everyone!

It’s been six months now of flailing about in search of maintenance.

I think I’m beginning to figure it out now.

My average bmi looks pretty stable over the last three months.

I wish there were a 6 month and a 12 month average as well.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

It’s morning here now.

I woke up early and I was thirsty.

At 5:37 am my morning weight was down 1600 g from yesterday morning:

54.8 kg / 120.8 lbs / 18.1 bmi, even after eating all that food yesterday evening.

I had a glass of sparkling water, and then I had breakfast in bed.

I had decided to never have breakfast in bed again,…[Read more]

Hi again! I checked with Grok, and it turns out that I was wrong about some of what I wrote, according to Grok:

Hi user! 😊

Thank you for sharing both the question and your reply.

Your answer is mostly on the right track and helpful. A few small refinements for accuracy if you ever want to edit or add:

The acetone (fruity/metallic) taste or…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now, and I’ve had my meal. I had it a little bit earlier, 7:30 pm, as I had a slight headache, possibly from having too much water and tea during the day, and I didn’t want to wait until 8 pm.

I had a whopping 1043 g / 2.3 lbs of food, plus 215 ml of milk. I didn’t have tea and I didn’t have sparkling water.

My…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight was 56.4 kg / 124.3 lbs / 18.6 bmi, which is right beneath the limit I’ve set for myself as the trigger for when to switch to the 5BD. Just 100 g under, or 0.3 lbs.

I still feel full from my two meals yesterday. I was similarly still feeling full from my breakfast when I was having my 8 pm meal yesterday. I…[Read more]

Hi Lori!

That’s your body tapping into stored fat and using it for fuel, as ketones, made by the liver for your body to use, with the side-effect of an acetone taste in the mouth.

That’s my guess. It will come and go.

I like the idea!

I’ve been wondering about what could be a good way to invite interested people here.

I haven’t had any ideas so far.

What do you (and evenone) think could be some of the obstacles that prevent people from finding the 5BD?

I hope that more people will find the 5BD and the Slimming Station.

Imagine how much it would help people…[Read more]

Thank you for asking what weight I have felt the best at, Dr Lewis!

The short answer to your question is that I’ve felt the best in the 17.0-19.4 bmi range.

At and above 19.5 bmi sounds a bit too heavy for me now.

When I was at 19.8 and 19.7 at the end of June and beginning of July, I wanted to slim down.

I’ve not felt too good below 17.0 bmi,…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

My weight this morning was 55.6 kg / 122.6 lbs / 18.4 bmi.

I’ll have an ad lib day today then, and possibly a 5BD tomorrow instead.

I’m looking forward to both.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now, and I’ve had an evening meal. I take it that I’m eager to begin the 5BD tomorrow, with all the food that I ate. I also had a lot of tea and sparkling water. Some of the food wasn’t all that great, and I still ate it. That’s me at the moment.

Weight before meal: 55.4 kg / 122.1 lbs / 18.3 bmi.

Weight after…[Read more]

That’s wonderful!

You waited it out!

Well done!
