More info on bite counting

More information about Bite counting today.  A good place to start is 80 bites per day. Do that for a week or two and see what it does for you, then start taking 5-10 bites away at a time, as needed to continue losing weight at the pace you want to.

For example, here is how my bite journey has gone so far

I started at 80 bites per day. (sundays are always 80 bites or less  allowed for me) I wasnt perfect  but for the most part have stayed on my bite number everyday



80 bites starting weight 218.2   
70 bites week 2             208.4
60 bites week 3             205.4
50 bites week 4             200



Here are some good information sources about counting bites to lose weight


1.  Why Weight Around?   by Alwin Lewis

Dr Lewis recommends 10 bites per day, and some would consider this extreme, although it does produce fast weight loss, he says if you cant do 10 bites per day you can try some other bite number.  For example 10 bites 3x a day and so on

4. 80 bites system and app

5. Eat slower app and Eat slower pro app

I really like the Eat slower pro app, it keeps track of total bites for
day, and bites per day over 90 day period, showing a graph, you can see your bites gradually go down.  No, I have nothing to do with the sale of any apps or books on this page, just providing info for anyone who wants more information for the bite counting system.

Eating slower (one minute per bite or so) really helps you be satisfied with less bite and corolates well with the bite system. I can inhale 18 bites in 5 minutes OR I can use the app and eat 18 bites in about 18 minutes, feeling much more satisfied with my small portion!

  1. How many bites do you think someone should eat in the third trimester of pregnancy? I actually found this while searching for how many bites a person should eat at a meal. Because I often feel sick after eating due to the baby taking up room. I rather eat just enough and not have the sick feeling or heart burn. I am definitely an over eater and it's now causing me physical pain during pregnancy. My eyes are much bigger than the room left in my stomach.
