Welcome back Michele! It’s always easier to follow the diet when you’ve had such great success.

Wow — 8 pounds in 3 days. Way to come back!!

Wishing you continued success.

Inspiration!

I’m noticing the bites can vary between the normal 50 gm snickers bar and 70 gm of pasta. So if I’m sticking to snickers bars on the run and 5 bites with the family.

Does anyone get reflux when eating their bites? Everytime I eat, I get a bit of indigestion. It goes away after a while. But I haven’t had that since I was pregnant 8 years ago.

I love this! I’m restarting today after gaining half back which is 5 lbs so far.

How impressive! Way to go!!

It all gets better! After 3-5 days – hunger disappears as do cravings! Like Dr. L says – DRINK and ride the hunger waves.

Thanks Alison, yeah im glad too!

Day 16

Lunch: 8 bites falafel, 2 bites cinnamon roll

Dinner: 8 bites leftover falafel, 2 bites of almond bar

I used to eat the entire falafel in one sitting with fries and a bunch of the krinkle bars with other food later in the evening. Moving up to 10 bites feels like so much more food yet it is still much less than I used to eat. I am not…[Read more]

Perfect day. I have to keep saying to myself, race to the end, get this over and done with. Just running on my reserve tank. It’s my lifestyle and totally normal to have 5 bites. I’m going to be a good role model to my kids. It’s not normal to be fat and have heart disease or diabetes in your 40’s.

I’m weighing out 70 gm or 2.5 oz to be sure my bite size doesn’t go over board and I stick to the same lunch and dinner.

Breaking headlines in Australia:  “Crash dieting is dangerous” Loosing weight too fast is bad for you… But only people with heart disease in the first week had to be careful/under medical supervision. And all low calorie dieters improved all health measurements beyond what they had before dieting.

The sensational news team totally omitted the…[Read more]

I have just started flavouring my old coffee with cinnamon, so it tastes a little gourmet. I have purchased these little disposable containers and measuring no more than 70 gm (2.5 oz) of food in it. I had trouble with hunger last night, and took 2 extra bites, but I think it was because I was tired and a bit dehydrated.  I’m enjoying not being…[Read more]

My plan for this week is to do a bar for lunch and dinner M-F this week except Thursday dinner as I have an event to attend. I will stick with only 5 bites at the event.

Hoping to be down 8 lbs by Saturday morning.

Yeah I had the same idea but also figured it might be possible to avoid the side affects altogether by just doing 10 bite meals for a week and seeing if it gets any better. That way I can still keep the volume consistent instead of having one day of a bunch of eating.

Day 15

Lunch: 3 bites of ravioli, 2 bites of cinnamon roll

I have suffered all day pretty terribly for some unknown reason. Persistent numbness and tingling throughout my body and major fatigue, unncoordinated motor patterns, dizziness. Orthostatic hypotension when standing up, and loss of vision a few times for a split second. I thought this…[Read more]

No adverse effects. Just trying to get rid of my sore knees and hips. I went rowing for the first time in  a long time. Felt a lot more comfortable with my weight but want to loose 20 pounds this month.

I am doing 5 bites again strictly as I have been going way over board on the weekends. I need to learn how to just eat 5 bites when eating out. Eating out is the biggest obstacle for me.
