I ate less on my cruise than at home! I ate more healthy things as well! I was too busy to eat. I never thought of staying in my cabin snacking! I lost 8 pounds. Shortly after, I had my check in with my doctor. I was excited to tell him all about this, but he did not understand. He looked very alarmed and brought out a huge jug of hand sanitizer,…[Read more]

This is so cool! You are the Barefoot Contessa (I used to love watching her show) of 5 bite!

I used to have hoarding of other things. I used to hoard all manner of cosmetic products (while eating a bad diet). I just love them. I had a problem with buying too many. I did some No Buys where I couldn’t buy anything new until I used the old. It…[Read more]

That Herbamare looks good. Have to get me some, and some good dill and mayo and things. Have to make the most of each bite.

This is amazing! When I was young, I collected all the celebrity beauty books. I had one from the beautiful Swedish movie star Britt Ekland. And in the book, Miss Ekland said, she would buy a few of the best chocolates and keep them in the freezer, and just defrost a little when she was hungry for one. But your system is so well thought out and…[Read more]

Well, today I was so determined. I did not even have creamer. I had black tea only all day until 245, then I had one of those tuna cans, the little snack pack with the crackers. It was not so good, but I only ate 5 bites. The day was very hard, but that is not 5 bite diet’s fault. At least I reached for black coffee to get through and not food.…[Read more]

I love all your posts Jane! You have such good ideas. Like keeping your pizza toppings. You are most inspiring. You are the 5 Bite Master Chef!

This is how I want to eat. Light and elegant, spoonfuls of seafood with dill and lemon, and natural spring water. That is a Swan meal.

This is awesome! Congratulations! Your meals sound lovely! So happy for you! You are the Swan!

Guys, I really hate myself. I did so badly today, but have a new plan.

So I got my green tea with no sugar and Snickers all lined up. 8 am, log in to work. My first call was crushing. I felt so exhausted, and unmotivated. I felt I just could not get through. That turned into 9 am thoughts of – it’s an emergency, and I must eat the Snickers…[Read more]

You are SO close! Amazing job!

I have all faith in you! Now I am thinking of you as a ballet star, since you mention the swan metaphor.

Wow! I hate to say anything after these posts. They seem like the last word. Dr. and Jane, you are great!

Well, yesterday I did really well until the evening! I woke up so determined, and was feeling great! Well, actually I overslept, and I was dreaming that there was a 5 bite class at my house, and we were doing so well. I have all these dreams…[Read more]

Ok! You inspired me.

Yesterday was bad again! I started off in the am with just tea, but got really hungry. I ordered another $60.00 of groceries, but am still not satisfied. I had cookies, cookies, I ordered one chicken wing, I ordered spaghetti that was not even good. I woke up with a stomach ache. I think the Dr. wants me to have a Snickers detox week. I AM so sick…[Read more]

Wonderful posts. I need to try with the Snickers as well. I would be interested in the restaurant app as well! I will try the Snickers. Do you have coffee in the am also?

I had some very bad nightmares, very bad. One was a very bad false awakening. Then my last dream was very beautiful. I was in Italy. I walked down a street with old buildings, and it was just gorgeous. I said, “open my heart and you will see, ‘graved upon it, Italy.” Then, I was in a huge mall that went on and on and on, with pastries on and on…[Read more]

Daily diary for Monday: tried eating different things, such as yoghurt for breakfast, and hummus. My body seems to like the fasting better. I ended up feeling sleepy and grouchy at work. Very sleepy, even not eating big meals, and food just does not satisfy me. I really think my body prefers to use the old fat, and it rebels when I go off the 5…[Read more]

Bad, bad weekend, very bad!

On Saturday, I went to breakfast with my father at 7 am. I was sound asleep, but went to make him happy. He had to send his eggs back as they were barely done, and mine were just liquid. Uh, it was not hard to stick to 5 bites. Then, I came home and fasted for four hours, and I was happy. I sat outside, and got my nice…[Read more]

Yesterday I woke up quite motivated, and I had half a bottle of water, medication, and vitamins, as well as coffee with creamer. Next, I went to an eye doctor appointment. I came home and I wanted to eat lunch — I wanted a club sandwich. I ordered one, and it was huge and enormous. I had four bites of one of the little triangle sandwiches, and…[Read more]

Thanks Jane! Yesterday I ate, I don’t even know what. I ate breakfast, which did not help me. I was not motivated, and skipped going in to work two hours early for overtime. I stayed outside listening to music and thinking of the cruise I had been on. Yes, I was going to give up on 5 bite, but walking around outside, I noticed that my clothes fit…[Read more]
