2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 18

Today I jest rested for the most part. I did get up and around to do some chores around the house. I also cooked some chicken wings and pork ribs. It was real easy. I just seasoned them and slow cooked them in the oven for several hours. They came out with lots of flavor and were very tender. At this time I will continue the diet and see where it takes me. My long term plan is to continue eating zero carb after all is said and done. I guess for me, the only problem I have is being tired more than before the diet. I do have a better outlook on eating and can appreciate portion control, which was my main focus of the diet besides weight loss. Another aspect of it was to get me back on zero carb. If I can at least go 30 days on this diet I will feel that I achieved something. I know it is just a number, but if I can stay zero carb that long I feel that I will have a chance to remain on it for the long haul. Almost 6 pounds down the slow way like most say is the right way. I have so much fat reserves that I am not concerned about the intake of food right now. I drink lots of water to keep me hydrated which is much more important than food. A person can last a long time with little to no food, but water deprivation can be fatal in as little as 3 days. I know that time can vary from person to person and environment. Thats it for now.

2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 19

Today was a pretty nice day. I had a nice drop in weight. I had some good rest. I am really used to the small portions. I still try to conserve my energy and I think that is helping. I know everyone is different. This works for me right now. Not much else.

This post will catch me up. Tomorrow will be three weeks on this diet. Time has went by very fast. So far 7 lbs lost. The key for me is to slow down a bit and conserve energy. I also noticed that when I sleep properly I lose more weight. Dave told me this in the past when I was on a regular zero carb diet. Right now I am very sleepy and will turn in as soon as I finish this post. Feeling real good and cant wait to see what another day will have in store for me.

2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 17

Yesterday was a good day. Lots of things going on at work. Lots of changes. It can be stressful at times. My stomach feels back to normal. Yesterday I rested a lot and did not want to get involved in anything but rest. I am feeling back to my old self and ready for what the day has to offer. It has just started to rain right now. We sure needed in these parts. I did get some hunger pangs today. I dont know why. I am able to control them, so I am not concerned about over eating. I will try to rest more today and I will post another post for today tonight.

Today marks 3 weeks on the 5 bite diet. I expected a little better results, but I am happy for the weight loss none the less. I am down a little over 7 1/2 pounds withe only changing my portions of food. I actually have been resting more and I am feeling a lot better overall today. I will give this diet one more week and make a decision if I want to stay on it or go to a regular zero carb diet. I will keep you posted. I have one more days worth of pork rib and chicken wing. I am not sure what I will be preparing for the rest of the week. Thants about it.

2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 16

I was not feeling real good today. I had a small touch of the runs in the morning. This did not stop my determination to continue with this diet. Later in the day it went away around noon. I really did not feel like eating lunch, but I forced myself to eat. I think it actually helped. By the time I ate dinner my stomach felt much better. I have been drinking a lot of coffee these past few days. I cut back on the coffee and drank more water today. I have no idea if the coffee played a role in anything in particular. I guess I was trying to used the caffeine to help cut the hunger. That being said, things are better now and I will see how things fare this weekend.

2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 12

Today I experienced a stall if thats what you want to call it. I think it is just my body adjusting to this new diet. I did not sleep well last night. Just too many personal things going on in my life right now. I dont let that get me down. It just makes me think too much in one area. It does not make me want to quit the diet, because it has nothing to do with it. I dont take refuge in eating to make me feel better. I just like to think things out and thus cuts into my sleep. I am hoping to have these issues in my life sorted out within the next month. It seems like a long time, but I feel it will go fast just like everything else for me. I feel good about the diet and dont plan on stopping until I reach my goal or if I see my health failing.

2014 The 5 Bite Diet Day 14

Another good day. I am feeling good so far and I am pacing myself in order to conserve energy. Its nothing that is recommended as far as I know, Im just doing this on my own to see if it helps with energy. I cant see it hurting anything. I am enjoying making simple food and I feel that the fat is helping keeping me feeling satisfied. Not much else to report.
