I am thinking this way: thinking of having a little stash. This is a side benefit. I am not used to things lasting long. For example, yesterday I wanted potato chips. I got one of the small bags, and ate 2 or 3 as part of my 5 bite meals. It is nice that I still have the bag and the end is not in sight. Another example: on Saturday, my father will…[Read more]

I love reading about the beautiful Italian 5 bite diet! There were some foods I had never heard of, and I had fun looking them up on Google. The Italian 5 bite meals sound amazing, and you are a real inspiration!

It’s fun to get creative with the program in this way.

That is so clever and must be very economical also!

I did well so far today. Everything was on point, except I had Chai with sugar and milk in it for breakfast. I have to do better on the breakfast drink tomorrow.

I had another big 10 hour work day, but got through. Lunch 2 pm: 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites salt and vinegar potato chips. Same for dinner 6:30 pm. Little sip of Coke to help my…[Read more]

Hi Alaska Gal. I am so happy to hear of your 40 pound loss! Well done!

Thank you, Allison and Jane! You have such good tips and positivity. This diet seems to be a mind set. Today I did well. I woke up determined. I just had a latte, Snickers bar for lunch at 2:40, Snickers for dinner at 7. Nothing else. The only deviation was milk and syrup in my large coffee as I don’t like black. I had a long hard work day too,…[Read more]

Yesterday I tried to start the diet, but could not stop eating again! I had a breakfast plate with one hard boiled egg, a piece of cheese, a few berries. I had 5 bites of that. During the morning, I had a stressful work call. After the call, I ate a cookie. I thought of food all morning. At lunch, I ate five bites of baked beans, then served…[Read more]

Well said!

Yes think of the other benefits, like your body healing itself while it does not have to digest, the building of self control, and just being free of food, which is an expensive obsession for many of us these days.

I believe in you.

When I get diet soda, I cannot seem to stop drinking it. I found a new one I love, but I overdo it.

Yesterday I hardly ate and had a productive day. I had a smoothie for breakfast, Funyuns and peanut M and Ms for lunch, and dry cereal for supper. Was not trying to 5 bite, just did not feel like eating. And I worked 2…[Read more]

You have made good progress while I was away, CK!

Nice to see you Allison

Hi Rosemarie!

I wish you best of luck. I love watching the chat archives.

Well I gave up somehow, but may come back soon as I am fed up with food again. Just had another Door Dash dinner delivered that smelled like cigarette smoke. And it was not good, and it was expensive as well.

That is me too. When I get stressed and tired and bored I think food will fix it. Usually, the food makes me feel worse. What we are doing is countercultural. We are going against what is all around us telling us to eat and drink. But 5 perfect days is very good!

I believe I did one perfect day, then I began eating again. This happened for two reasons:

1. I had too much food in the house, plus purchased extra food to have on hand — cheese, bread, chips, and chocolates. I kept thinking of the food, which was very distracting. I have to not stockpile food, and just buy the little bit I need each day. This…[Read more]

Thank you Doctor.

I began today. I purchased a large black iced tea, unsweet, no milk, from Starbucks, and a fruit and cheese box from there. For lunch and dinner I had five bites from the cheese/cracker fruit box. That is all. For example, 3 bites cheese, one bite apple, one grape for dinner.

I think tomorrow I will try coffee, which I do not…[Read more]
