80Bites Weight Loss Program Week 5 Review

If you missed my last week's post: Week 4 of the 80Bites diet, you can see my review here! 

I'm happy to announce that I am trying a new approach to weight loss.  It's the 80Bites program!  The 80Bites program is a whole new take on dieting and a close look at how much we are eating.  Thanks to the wonderful folks at 80Bites I am getting to review their full length program, which consists of 12 weeks.

 

Week 5 continues the theme of frequency!  This week the key is to focus on having 4 meals a day, at around the same time every day.  Ideally, 4 hours in between each meal is key to help let the body metabolize and detoxify in between eating.  Learning to structure your meals helps your body gain a regular time frame each day of when to get hungry and expect food.  This week I learned that snacking throughout the day can backfire, as it helps to continuously feed the hunger.  The goal is still to stay around 80 bites a day!  

Eating 4 meals a day for me was actually a challenge in itself this week!  I'm usually a 2, maybe 3 meal a day kind of person.  I eat a lot of whole grains so I don't tend to get hungry as often.  To make this program work with my eating habits, I cut back on how much I was eating at meals, to be able to space the food out over 4 meals a day.  After a couple days I noticed my body was only getting hungry when it was my regular meal time, not throughout the day or late at night!  I'm still going strong with my 80 bites a day and I hoped to see more weight loss this past week but I've hit a small plateau.  I'm assuming it's because I lost so much right off the bat.  

 I encourage you to check out the 80Bites website and have a look around.  If you want to get the same membership as I have, the 12 week program, the cost is $49.99 available through their site.

 

* If you're not quite ready to start the program, but would like a take on counting and keeping track of your bites, the 80Bites app is available through the iTunes and Android app store!
