What Program Users Are Saying
“The change in my body is obvious. Yet the change in my head is so profound! Eating is now easy for me […] In fact, the only hard thing about 80Bites was admitting that I didn’t know everything about weight loss.”
Zoe Stein Pierce, Pilates Studio Owner, TX
“It’s weird that no one understands that the stomach being over stretched is a huge reason why people aren’t able to know when they are full. I’ve been doing 80Bites for four weeks. Now it seems almost automatic that I’m finished eating at 20 -25 bites. It’s easy when your stomach counts for you! And I am not stressed as I used to be when I dieted before, and believe me, I’ve done many diets.”
Stephanie B, TX
“I dropped Weight Watchers and am just using my 80Bites. Without the frustration of point tracking, now I am happily eating with my little app.”
Ellie Weber, CA
“I met Meredith when she was working at Florida Hospital in Orlando. I decided against (bariatric) surgery… you gave me the bite diet and I followed it. As an FYI, I’m down to 161 lbs. from 386 lbs. Thanks for getting me started!”
Carol Adcock
“Having tried the “Fit for Life Diet” where certain food groups must be consumed separately, I was constantly hungry, nauseous and craved high GI simple carbohydrate food. I like the notion of a balanced meal. It tastes better.”
CW, FL
“In the past 4 months following the 80Bites approach, I have lost 20 lbs. and have reduced my pant size from 36 to 34. I am a type 2 diabetic. I have reduced a number of meds by over 30%, and my doctor recently told me that my improvement is amongst the best he has seen in his 24 years of practice. I can’t say enough what 80Bites has done for me.”
Sam Aloni
“From my own dieting experiences, I am well aware of how easy it is to become obsessive about counting calories and avoiding certain food groups. I found the 80Bites approach of combining various food groups and maintaining regular eating intervals to make good sense. I believe it would prevent the feeling of deprivation that is so much a part of dieting and also the reason many diets fail.”
MD, DC
“I really think you’re onto something big in helping people manage their diet. The idea of restriction is really interesting. That no matter what it is including veggies and tofu eating too much of it will hurt you. That feels really aspirational and could move the fitness crowd. So it’s less about obesity and more about optimized lifestyle. Sexier, smarter, more enlightened. A way to become a modern and technical aesthetics. The beauty of the 80 bites.”
Alex Bogusky, Advertising Man of the Year
“I lost seven pounds in my first 21 days. Now, I know how much to eat. I really think I can stick to this as long as I need to. I feel very in control of my eating which is where I want to be. I really can’t say enough good things about your plan.”
JN, New Jersey
“I believe that the 80Bites approach is sensible, logical and aligned with the natural needs of the human body and psyche. This will help clients return to a healthier and safer eating philosophy.”
SR, New Zealand
“The issue of water consumption was very interesting to me. I tried to consume 2 litres of water a day in addition to a diet of high water content foods such as salads and vegetables. I have found this difficult and felt it to be against my body’s natural need. 80Bites showed me how forced and artificial the excessive water consumption was.”
DW, Australia
“Before 80Bites, I did not realize how often I fell into the traps of dieting: cutting out food groups, not eating regularly. I was definitely caught up in the “good” vs. “bad” food types. This plan for life makes so much sense! Eating a normal diet in smaller amounts, and more consistently, has already helped me lose weight and sustain energy. This is an easy, efficient, and effective program for a lifetime of healthy, happy eating!”
AA, Wyoming
“I used the 80Bites app only three times, but it made me change my eating habits. I never felt like I was on a diet. I just prepared smaller portions, stopped eating between meals and cut down on sweets. It makes me feel just as good – no: even better, because I don’t feel any remorse while eating anything. I lost 10 pounds in three months and they never came back. I recommend it.”
Eva Rincke, Germany, author of Joseph Pilates: Der Mann, Dessen Name Programm Wurde
“80Bites has made me rethink the way that I look at food and eating. I no longer count calories or read labels or try to figure out if I am eating the right percentage of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. I don’t give up the foods that make the experience of eating enjoyable. Also, I notice that by following 80Bites I focus more on taste and notice the texture, and therefore eat less, and eat more slowly.”
JD, NM
“Before 80Bites, I had been food combining and a vegetarian for years. Having been a dancer by profession most of my life, I definitely have had food issues and disordered eating. The program makes many points that ring true to me personally. There is no question we apply the phrase “good food” and “bad food” to extremes. So much so that we obsess and ultimately end up gaining weight. I also agree that being consistent in quantity is a must. It all made sense. I feel it is something that can make a difference to help people regain control, but also to enjoy eating without so much excess baggage. I found my perception of meals as an event also helped take away the labels and made eating a joy.”
SD, MI
“Recently, I have been getting compliments on my new figure, which are always followed by ‘how many pounds have you lost?’ I keep hoping that someone will say ‘inches lost,’ since that is what 80Bites is about. I have lost 35 inches in a few months, along with 20 pounds. What is more important, though, is that I’ve found a system that I can live with… forever! And that is a relief given that I have spent more than half my life dieting with the predictable results: lose some weight; regain; lose it again. Of course, I have tried Atkins and other popular diets. If I had known about 80Bites I would never have become a yo-yo dieter. “
K. McCord
“I am very aware that my body needs carbohydrates, protein, and fats but I never really thought about how foods interact with each other when they are combined. It makes sense that paying attention to the texture and taste when you organize a meal will help you select a balanced meal.”
JG, NY
What Professional Diet Book Reviewers Are Saying
“80Bites by PhysicalMind is well-worth reading. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars! I would recommend this program to anybody looking to change their life.”
Abbeyjk
“I have read many diet books, looking for that perfect plan to help me get thin and fit. Eat this, don't eat that, only eat at these times, never eat after that time; paleo, keto, vegan, fasting, counting calories, points, macros, percentages--I thought I had seen it all. 80Bites is a refreshingly new take on the most universal method and the only one that works!”
Mary
“As a serial dieter getting nowhere, I stopped dieting. 80Bites changed my way of thinking. My body is now losing weight gradually and I feel even lighter.”
Clara
“The e-book is multifaceted with the combination of online videos and 80Bites app. You will not get bored with all of this blending culture; it gives a fresh and revolutionary experience for readers.”
Uthpala
“Dieting is a very sensitive topic because many have tried and failed. Some might achieve their dream but cannot maintain them. They end up gaining back the weight that they lost. All their hard work would be for nothing. Most diets do not communicate on what to be done when the weight is successfully lost. The how to maintain part is very tricky, and that needed to be clarified. The solution is here with 80Bites.”
MissM94
“80Bites by PhysicalMind is an unconventional and bold book about a 12-step program that focuses on a realistic and practical weight loss approach. Rather than calories, it focuses on the hormones insulin, cortisol, ghrelin, and leptin. The approach relies on listening to your body and returning it to its natural functioning routine. This is a unique approach compared to conventional programs. It focuses on the mind and its power to be in tune with the body, making it a simple, affordable, and everyday approach. It is all about how to eat naturally with no expensive diets.”
Guda
“Weight loss is a major problem and there are so many questions with just too many answers. Well, if that were not the case, I wouldn’t be able to say this: 80Bites has it all!”
Lara
“I read 80Bites and not only was this a great book, but it really captures your attention. I find that many other books about dieting can be very boring and start off like any other normal book. 80 Bites, however, takes a different approach to grab their readers’ attention, answering many questions that the reader may have about the program right away.”
Jess
“80Bites by PhysicalMind is an eating guide focusing on the quantity of food being eaten in one day. 80Bites gave me a lot of information that I didn’t know as someone who has struggled with bad eating habits and weight loss before.”
Hannah
“What I liked is the notion of a balanced meal and the idea of no ‘good/bad foods.’ Also, the aspect of not counting calories, reading labels, or trying to figure out if one is eating the right percentage of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The 80Bites plan proves the side effects of a stretched stomach and how it directly affects your most important hormones.”
Jopey
“Dieting is frustrating and hard to follow through till the end, especially if the program is telling you to ditch your favorite meals and pick up bland-tasting green vegetables as an alternative. Authors Joan Breibart, Meredith H. Luce, and Mary Beth Langlinais have made it possible to eat whatever you want and still lose.”
Pinchofchel
“Even though I studied nutrition and dietary needs in the mid-1970s, soon after the beginning of the diet phase, I don’t remember learning about the connection between hormones and food, that the stomach is a muscle, or about food containing so much water.”
Reva
“80Bites is a book that offers an alternative to the flood of diets advertised on the market. As a certified nutritionist, there were many things that I appreciated. I loved the fact that the diet promoted diversity and encouraged the reader to try new foods and flavors. The book was well structured and user friendly. It included testimonials and videos from specialists, checklists to guide you, charts, and menu examples.”
