    why would anyone need a stupid diet like this when losing weight just really isn't all that difficult if you watch your calories. other than being unhealthy, this does not sound easier at all.

    I like Lindor Lindt balls.

    They are 80cals each.

    If I ate 1 Lindor Lindt ball per bite.... 80 bites a day.... that's 6,400 cals a day.

    Yum.

    120 bites of celery trumps 80 bites of bacon every time. It does matter what those bites are.

    I think that a good way to eat and to learn good eating habits is to not inhale your food lol. I am really good at doing that and I'm still learning. I usually eat by eating all the actual food then actually drinking something. I tend to eat it as quickly as I can, for whatever reason. Anywho, if you take slow bites and take your time eating and supplement with a drink (and a glass before actually eating) it might help.

    Everything is OK in moderation. Bacon. Lindt balls. Celery.

    If I do bacon wrapped celery will the negative calories in the celery take away some of the calories in the bacon too?

    I think most people are being extemely rude. If you have not yet tried something for an reasonable period, say 1-2 weeks every meal, don't offer your comments. I have tried calorie counting many times and always give up due to how tedious it is, I home cook everything and having to figure out multiple ingredients for 3-4 meals per days and measure every thing I add to the pan etc. is very tedious and time consuming. I am using the 80 bites free app and love it, it is allowing me to eat \mindfully, slowly, and if I am hungry still after 20-25 bites per meal, I have 5 more bites of fresh fruit or veg, and then always feel full. I don't count or worry about those few extra bites of unadorned fruit and veg, it is only 10-30 cals extra per meal and they are healthy at that. I also eat mainly whole foods and a balance of carbs/pro/fat. I make sure at least 5 bites per meal is veg and 5 bites is protien. Nothing else has worked for me for years. This is the first thing that is working. I feel good, my digestion issues are completely gone, and I feel great and energetic after eating with no stomach aches any longer.

    Also, it helped me see that I really was a fast eater and I did not realize that. Studies show that faster eaters tend to gain weight, or be overweight, so this is really good to know.

    It is free now, so there is no risk to trying it. The concept has been studied at major university and more recently they are suggesting 100 bites per day, which if I include my 5 bites of "free" fruit and veg bites times 3 meals per day, I am usually around 90-100 bites total. It is just a feedback tool that can be used, not the answer to every issue, one will also need to choose good foods, sleep, move their body, etc. to be healthy, but this has really helped me.

    Holy cow - I sat here and read the entire thread thinking "why is everyone saying 'this again?!' and I've never heard of this before"... then I noticed the banned user icons... and the dates. Most random necro'ing of a thread I've seen in a long time.

    However, 80 bites of ice cream sounds like a fantastic diet! I'm all about the exploitation of these kinds of diets. :smiley:

    Never tried it. I'm averse to fad diets generally. I don't have to try it to know I won't like it.

    I imagine the idea is to slow down and eat mindfully. I suspect weighing and logging everything you eat would get you to the same place.

    It's a sales pitch. They post stuff like this so people friend them or contact them and they can direct them to their website to hoc their products and plans. Beach body people do it all the time here. You see topics like, "OMG, I am doing so well finally!", or "Has anyone heard of _____________?" and when you open them it basically sales.

    80 bites of celery, or 80 bites of Big Mac ?

    touché.



    all arguments aside...

    has anyone ACTUALLY tried it?

    no- because quite frankly counting calories is way more efficient and less mind numbing.

    There is nothing wrong with trying something new- but don't reinvent the wheel for no reason.

    if you were searching the internet for an effective diet plan, you should've called it quits when you got here. no short cuts. do it right, learn how to live healthfully, and everything will fall into place. there is no fast lane that you're overlooking. count your intake, make it less than your output, and you will lose weight. mfp has staying power - you can't count 80 bites a day for the rest of your life, that is nonsense. you can, however learn to eat properly, achieve your goals, and use what you've learned to keep it that way. don't rush greatness.

    I'm happy I read threw this for giggles because I found this:

    DON'T RUSH GREATNESS!!

    Omg.. my new fav. phrase for today!!

    I really need to come up with a stupid fad diet and write a stupid book about it. Threads like this prove that no matter how stupid it is, people will try it/buy it if you pinky promise they'll melt/blast/burn/torch/nuke the fat off their bodies like never before using your revolutionary new approach!
