    Oh my God, this is the best thread I've ever seen on the internet.

    I think you and twinkie diet man need to pair up.

    Nah I think her and Dr Oz need to pair up, this would be right up his alley.

    OP: You know, it is ok to stop posting sometimes. In fact, in your case it is recommended. We won't think any lesser of you (well, any lesser than we already do...)

    To everyone that is telling me this is horribly wrong, are you at your goal weight? How long did it take you to get there? Are you maintaining it and for how long? Thanks :smile:

    I am. Took about 12-24 weeks for initial transformation. Everything that came after was basically just vanity and fine tuning.

    I was amused by the idiocy of this thread, but I didn't bother chiming in, until right now, to tell you that it's horribly wrong and senseless.

    I could take 20 bites of celery a day. Let's say it takes 5 bites to finish one stalk of celery, which has 10 calories, then I will end up with an energy intake of a mere 40 calories. Awesome weight loss strategy you have there.

    No, I think it's awesome! The people who buy into harmful, BS fad diets will pay a fortune to know your secret! :D

    This would never work for me as I don't really take bites of food...I prefer to inhale it in such a way that I end up with bits of food in my eyelashes.

    You are promoting a system of eating that is NOT HEALTHY! This website is dedicated to helping people find health.

    What did you think would happen?

    Edit: You should visit 4Chan, then.

    Why? Because everyone knows this is really a stupid idea?

    but since you sound like you know what you're doing

    wow...whack attracts whack

    No, I am not whack...And I don't fully agree with this system, I am just trying to be a little supportive when other people are shooting her down. I know it is not healthy to count by bites, but I understand that she is trying to downsize meals. I did say already that as long as you are meeting everything, and you feel ok with what you are doing, then do it. Don't twist my words, I just feel bad for a lady that came here for advice, and instead of gently suggesting it is bad, people just decided to be rude.

    Don't call me 'whack' without knowing what I do. Thank you.

    A book is a great idea!!! Thanks for not shouting me down like everyone else is doing :smile:

    It IS a great idea. Should I look for it at my local bookseller under fiction? Or fantasy?

    Oh, I know! Science Fiction! Perrrrrfect!

    You think this is mean? You shoulda seen the reaction I got when I posted a thread about counting the time I spend on toilet as a workout :(

    Yes, I'm at my goal weight. It took me about 3ish months. Yes, I'm maintaining. I've been on this site for just shy of a year, you do the math.

    I ate whatever I wanted, hit my macros, practiced moderation, and exercised.
