Hi!

Thank you for sharing this so openly. What stood out to me most was not how much you ate, but how curious and observant you were throughout the experience.

It sounds as though you were able to notice the difference between physical fullness and the desire to keep eating, which is actually a very valuable skill. Many people never reach the…[Read more]

For years, I thought the solution was to remove certain foods from my life.

Not just from my plate.

From my mind.

The croissant.
The pastry.
The pizza.
The foods I loved most.

But they never really disappeared.

They simply moved.

From the plate to my thoughts.

And there, they took up far more space.

I know that voice well.

The one that…[Read more]

One thing I’ve started to question is the idea that I should never go grocery shopping when I’m hungry.

For years, diet culture taught me that if I entered a supermarket hungry, I would automatically make bad choices. As if grocery shopping were some kind of test of willpower.

Buy the yogurt.

Buy the “safe” foods.…[Read more]

There is a sentence that makes me gain more weight than the cookie itself.

And I always say it after a couple of cookies.

Why it happens

It’s not hunger.

It’s deprivation.

The problem

Two or three cookies are not the problem.

The problem is when I tell mys…[Read more]

Hi!l Jane

Thank you for the suggestion. I actually don’t know Dr. Ted Naiman’s work, but I’ll take a look at it. 😊

Personally, I try not to restrict entire categories of food. The 5 Bite Diet is already challenging enough when I need to rein things in, so mentally I do better when I allow myself some flexibility and follow my cravings withi…[Read more]

Hi Saiah,

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I’m starting over too, so we’re in the same boat. I have an acute sciatic pain that it is totally blocking me from all activities.

As for running and swimming during 5B, I personally continue to stay little active, but everyone responds differently. My suggestion would be to listen to your bod…[Read more]

Thanks Samatha. I am trying to do my best to beat every day food noise staying active.

Beautiful 🤩

Congratulations Allison

Good job Jane
