Interesting, why only half?

Yeah those little extra bite impulses are pretty interesting to note when you’re do focused on the bite count. It certainly encourages mindfulness.

Yeah it’s very interesting that a higher level of control is accompanied by a lack of intense hunger/anticipation for food. I suppose that is expected but usually i would destroy those fries in an instant and i really wouldn’t appreciate what I am eating. I actually stopped cooking a while ago (unless with gf) just to make things as simple as…[Read more]

Days 7+8

I went camping, hiking, and swimming this weekend and I ate perfectly! I’m still so surprised that the intense hunger or energy drain is not really hitting me. I can do so much more than I ever thought possible with very little food apparently.

day 7 lunch: 5 bites krinkle bar

day 7 dinner: 4 bites krinkle bar, 1 bite marshmallow.…[Read more]

Yessssss! Way to push through! It will only get easier, listen to that higher self, that’s very inspiring

I think part of the reason this is okay for me is because…[Read more]

Nice! I think you’ll get through that one meal no problem since you’ve already made so much progress

Day 5

This is kind of stupidly easy.

Lunch was 3 spoonfuls of homeade chili and two bites from a krinkle bar.

Dinner I ate a fig bar on the fly at work around my usual dinner. Exactly 5 bites!

I may be dropping my diuretic at least for a little while to avoid any extra complication to this mission. I know i can just go back on it if need…[Read more]

From my understanding there is an entirely new section after the weight loss stage all about the weight maintenance aspect. Though Dr. Lewis recommends not reading that part until one reaches their goal weight.

Thank you guys, yes my girlfriend is very supportive and has encouraged me to keep going so that’s really nice

Day 4

I seem to be over a hump, which I knew would come to pass given my previous experiences in potato land. I  have certainly had some energy fluctuations and a bit of light headedness when I stand up too quickly. Beyond that I feel…[Read more]

Awesome to see someone 16 days in still trucking and feeling good! We have similar weight goals, hope you keep it up!
