Don’t do the bar challenge if you are not in the mindset to do it or in a position to do it easily. I’m doing it because it’s just another working week for me. Ive been on this diet for 5 weeks, and thought I would feel like I was missing out before but now I’m ready to do it. I wouldn’t do it over the weekend with the kids around.

Apart from breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women, I really can’t see if the RDI’s are that accurate. I’m still taking the multivitamin every day and 3 strong calcium tablets and 1 strong iron tablet a week. Only because I have had a history of low iron. But when I get to a normal weight range, I’m going back to see my doctor and getting a blood test.

The one thing I’ve noticed with the 5 bite diet is your weight rarely goes up more than 200gm. I have had 1 day a week where this happens and I’m assuming its just a hydration issue. But all other days, your weight will go down. That drives me crazy too. When your weight goes up 2 pounds. Give yourself time to wean off the excessive food, bad…[Read more]

Looks like you’re doing great, keep it going! 

I can’t do this with you, just went grocery shopping yesterday and need to eat that first, even if it’s just five bites at a time lol

But I’m here to cheer you on and maybe join in the next one.

Good luck to everyone!

^^^ it’s all about the $$$

Dusting off a shaky day yesterday. Today will be perfect. I actually like resetting on a Sunday. It gets my mind and focus ready for the week.

Today is Day 1 of Bar reset. Like Pia said – any bar will do that is the size of a snickers. I love Quest bars.

Drink drink drink, stay busy and stay connected.

Let’s race to skinny!

i’ll start tomorrow after my weigh it. Am I allowed to eat other 50 gm bars?

Hi Leona,

I’m still tripping out about this diet. How successful it is and how easy it is. My bites can be a bit big, when I’m not eating a snickers which I love too, but when my weight plateaus, I’ll regulate my bite size some more. I just am laughing now at the obsession the “Health” industries have in making us eat too much “healthy food” for…[Read more]

I’m a swimming instructor, and a few of the kids I teach are morbidly obese. They struggle to move their arms and kick. While I still recommend they come as they get the benefit of water awareness and safety, and familiarisation with breathing it is a slow haul because of their weight. And the government are blaming their lack of moving and not…[Read more]

And it’s such a radical idea. When you see the bombardment in the media about exersise and eating healthy as the ONLY way to loose weight. It’s blown me away that all the government endorsements about exersise is the key to loosing weight. They are running ads in Australia right now. After reading the twinkie article and I’ve read others re:…[Read more]

Alice, I can feel I lost my first amount of weight off my arms and legs. I’m hoping the next round comes from my middle, but still heading in the right direction. You will be able to fitl into that dress, just keep going.

I’m wearing old clothes I haven’t worn in 4-5 years. It’s a strange but good feeling. Looking forward to buying a new wardrobe and throwing out my big clothes.

Way to go Leona, that’s a lot of weight in one week!

Feels great to fit into smaller clothes doesn’t it? 

Great Pia!

I am having my bar now!(3:00pm) Late for me but I was sooo busy with stuff.

For me, when on bars – it’s bar and done so cooking for family is actually easier bcs I know I can’t justify a bite of other food.

We are all different. If cooking stokes you, order take out or get pre-made stuff and throw together a meal. Definitely…[Read more]

Great advice! 5 bites and done. No lingering. Love that!

40 perfect 5 bite days!! Holy Cannoli!! You should be soooo proud of yourself.

Congratulations of the dress!! That’s so incredibly exciting!!
