That is amazing.

Hello Week 2!

I have weighed myself, and I have lost 6 pounds. I am now at 185. This is major for me. I never have this success with my diets.

The last time I recall being in the 180s was in 2022. I lost weight by accident. I wasn’t trying. I had achieved the dream of all call center reps: I was put on the email queue! I was so excited. I was…[Read more]

The end of the weekend was good. On Saturday night, after I finished my 5 bites, I had an ice cream, but not more, and I went to bed.

On Sunday I had a little can of cold coffee I had purchased from Aldi. It had milk and sugar. I did not like it, but it was better than the Starbucks. To stay on my schedule, I ordered a lunch from Uber Eats to…[Read more]

Today I had my first 5 Bite Diet day off of work. I had planned it carefully, and was really looking forward to it.

First, as I had planned, I got up and just had a big unsweet iced tea. I did some laundry. To keep consistent, I did not want to have my lunch until 1:45, as the lunch time my employer assigns me is always between 1:45 and 2:45.…[Read more]

I am losing weight. 185.8.

Oh I just messed up, but I am learning.

This morning I tried to drink black coffee. I got a Starbucks iced coffee. The Starbucks site said that this coffee has notes of malted milk chocolate and brown sugar. I could not taste that. The taste was awful and bitter, and I ended up putting creamer in it. I did not like the taste or smell or way it…[Read more]

I’m an avid shopper. This extends to food as well. In the grocery store, I will buy the attractive things! Yes, I would like to cut back on what I spend but still enjoy.

Today I did well again. For my drink in the morning, I had Chik Fil A Iced Tea Unsweet, and it was good. I had 5 bites at around 2 pm.  3 bites Chik Fil A Hash Brown, 2 bites Chik Fil A Mini Chicken Sandwich. Dinner 630 pm. 3 bites tuna sub, 2 bites potato chips. I made it through my 10 hour work day and was not irritable, was able to work…[Read more]

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]
