Hi Kylie!

It’s great to think things through with Grok. No matter where you’re at currently, numbers are still numbers, and ideal weight to height remains ideal weight to height. It’s so good!

I’ve thought through my numbers and ideas a bit more, and now I see a slightly tighter range where I’d like to circle about. It helps me to write a list…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’ve spotted a few fixed ideas that I will replace with using data, rather than guesswork.

This is how I’ll go about it:

I will use the scale as my guide, and have two set limits: an upper limit, for knowing when it’s time to switch to the 5BD days, and a lower limit, for knowing when it’s time to switch to the ad lib days.

I’ll…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’m feeling inspired by the alternate week idea that Dr Lewis talked about in the zoom chat.

I will try it! A rotation of one 5BD week and one ad lib week.

I know I can relax into the 5BD and feel good.

We shall see if that balances out a week of eating ad libitum.

How interesting this pattern will be to explore!

If my weight…[Read more]

Thank you Kylie!

I’m beginning to notice that I’m doing ok.

For example, I’m noticing that I’ve got the one inch pinch now.

I’ll be on my guard nevertheless. Things can change quickly.

For my meal tonight I have prepared five 100 g portions.

I think that preparing portions is the way forward for me at the moment.

Like Grok puts it, the other…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

The plan I made yesterday didn’t last. I followed it for two portions, and then I didn’t want to follow it. I went off-pist.

What to do now then?

I’m aiming to reduce from where I’m at, instead.

Where am I at now?

I’m in a wave of eating more, and it seems to be on its way down now, luckily.

I had 555 g of food for breakfast. My…[Read more]

Lovely done!

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here, and I’ve had my evening meal and a short walk.

My last three meals were a bit out of order, I was winging it and my apetite was stimulated.

Now I have settled on a plan for tomorrow, aiming to calm and regulate my apetite. It feels so good to have a plan. Every once in a while I tend to believe that I can wing…[Read more]

Thank you Allison! Hi everyone!

Finding maintenance is interesting and a bit bumpy at the moment.

Here is the update pictured in a chat that I had with Grok this morning:

-Hi Grok! I had a breakfast: two big portions, a bit wild at first, and I sat down to read after the portions. The first portion was 400 g, and the second was 350 g, and I had…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Here is an update.

I decided to have my 8 pm meal. It felt like a good idea. I had decided to have the water, and then I noticed that food was also an option that I wanted. I felt free to choose, and I felt less concerned with guarding my weight and getting it to go down asap. That felt good to me, it felt like my priority wasn’t…[Read more]

And now it’s time for my 4 pm water:

-Hi Grok! I’m going to have my 4 pm water now as planned. No skipping fluids in an effort to manipulate my weight.

-Good decision, user. 😊

Keeping the usual 4 pm fluid as planned, without trying to restrict water to influence the scale, is consistent with the calm approach we’re taking.

Enjoy the w…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

This morning my weight was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.4 bmi.

After lunch my weight was 54.6 kg / 120.4 lbs / 18.0 bmi.

Lunch was about 819 g of solid food and…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

Hi Lori!

You can also keep in mind that food and chocolate and ice-cream will be there for you if you should want to gain some weight back, if you find that you don’t like what you look like or feel like after slimming down.

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now. I’ve had my 8 pm meal, and a walk around the block.

My five portions today were 130 g each.

My morning weight was down 200 g: 52.2 kg / 115.1 lbs / 17.2 bmi.

Before my meal it was 51.5 kg / 113.5 lbs / 17.0 bmi.

After my meal it was 52.7 kg / 116.2 lbs / 17.4 bmi.

By the looks of it, I’ll increase my p…[Read more]

Hi everyone!

I’m feeling increasingly curious about how much my portions might end up increasing to if I were to let this current way of eating carry on uninterrupted for a few more days. So much so that I’m fairly sure I will postpone the Sunday of eating more for at least one week. I’ll make up my mind today or tomorrow.

Onwards!

Hi everyone!

It’s evening here now, and I’ve had my 8 pm meal. Tonight I didn’t feel enthused with the food, although it was enjoyable. I sense that I might be getting a sneak preview of what Dr Lewis wrote in his book about food just being food. I feel more joy taking a bath or going for a walk. We shall see how this develops over the coming…[Read more]

Yes!

Hi everyone!

I’ve listened to a lady who has achieved and maintained her weightloss by eating one meal a day since 2016. She suggests having one day a week free from any and all plans. She also suggests the same approach for vacatins and holidays. She talks about why this is helpful in her video, linked below.

I want to try this. I’ll implement…[Read more]

Go for it Kylie!

The scale is measuring and giving you data, that’s all it is.

The data is useful for you, it tells you what your five bites are doing for you.
