Why Doesn’t Anyone Understand 80Bites?
Why Doesn’t Anyone Understand 80Bites? We keep asking ourselves this question. How can something so simple be so misunderstood?
We’ve tried every “sound bite.”
We even called it Pilates for the Mouth & Stomach — because that’s literally what it is. Didn’t land. People still didn’t get it. Probably because most don’t even know where their stomach is. (Hint: it’s that six-inch container under your left breast — not your abs.)
And worse, they’ve never felt it. The stomach quietly does its work while your abdomen does the big drama — bloating, bulging, complaining. But that’s not fullness. That’s just your midsection’s one-act play.
The Madness of Modern Eating
The reason people can’t grasp 80Bites is because for 60 years, we’ve been brainwashed by nonsense.
Eat this. Don’t eat that. Avoid gluten, dairy, joy, and self-respect.
Then when that fails, blame your metabolism. Or your mother.
Every few years, a new food group gets cancelled. Low-fat! High-protein! Keto! Paleo! Plant-based! Air-based!
And nobody even knows that fat has 9 calories per gram while carbs and protein have 4. But they’ll still stand in Whole Foods squinting at “nutrition facts” like they’re decoding a hostage note.
Meanwhile, Science Knew the Truth
The NIH, the CDC, the USDA — they all knew it wasn’t about calories. It was hormones. Gut hormones.
That’s why we have the semaglutide miracle drugs. Because scientists finally admitted what we’ve said for years:
It’s not what you eat. It’s how much you eat.
And yes, calories count — but mostly in beverages. (We’ll get to that.)
The Woman Who Couldn’t Gain Weight
A few weeks ago, a dancer came into our SoHo office to train with Tye4X®. She’s 5’3”, 95 pounds, mother of two, and desperate to gain weight. She downloaded the 80Bites app right there in front of me.
She wasn’t undereating — she was under-enjoying. She drank water with every meal. She avoided butter. She was doing all the “healthy” things that make you nuts.
So I taught her layering:
Add calories without adding bites.
A cracker with butter still counts as two bites — but now it actually tastes good and adds calories..
Within weeks, she gained four pounds. But she’s not stretching her stomach so her future won’t be affected by UNBALANCED hormones.
That’s 80Bites — whether you need to lose weight or gain it — the principle is the same: manage quantity, not nutrients.
The App as a Mirror
The 80Bites app doesn’t track you. It teaches you.
You test yourself — because everyone loves a test, right? (Ever try to buy an online course? 40 screens of questions before checkout!)
You’ll discover your “normal” is probably 50 or 60 bites a meal. Which is insane.
Most restaurant plates are that much. And buffets? Forget it. Cruises? Legalized binge zones.
Once you see how much you’re eating, you can’t unsee it.
What a Real Meal Is
A real meal has:
A main (actual food, not “protein”)
Two sides (one veg, one starch)
A beverage with taste (never water)
A tiny dessert (2–3 bites to end the meal)
That’s a meal. Not snacking all day. Not “healthy grazing.” And definitely not binging.
The Big Lie of “Healthy”
Everyone’s chasing “healthy.” Avocados, almonds, salmon — all “good fats.” Sure. But still calorically dense.
Quantity rules.
And let’s face it — our “healthy” fruits and vegetables aren’t even healthy anymore. They’ve lost nutrients and taste. Tomatoes used to taste like something. Now they taste like wet paper. If it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t nourish you. So stop eating more to be satisfied. Because you won’t.
Public Eating vs. Private Binging
We’ve created a culture of “performative healthy eating.”
Eat a massive kale bowl in public, then raid the kitchen at midnight because you’re starving.
That’s not lack of willpower. That’s a broken stomach sensor — from years of overeating “good” foods. And then binging on “bad” foods. The ones you wanted to eat in the first place.
And Then Came the Drugs
Now people on semaglutide say, “I’m spending less on food — but more on clothes.” Perfect. The apparel industry will boom, the food industry will just shrink portions and raise prices, and everyone will finally be thin and stylish again.
What 80Bites Proves
It’s not about food rules. It’s not about nutrient charts. It’s not about what Oprah’s AI clone says on TikTok.
It’s about one thing: quantity.
When you shrink your portions, your stomach resets. Your hormones rebalance. Hunger disappears.
And you realize — just like that Kansas Professor who lost 20 pounds on a Twinkie diet — it’s never been about what you eat. It’s about how much.
Where We’re Headed
By 2025, the obesity pills will be everywhere. But you don’t need to wait. You can start shrinking your stomach now — naturally — with 80Bites.
Forget macros. Forget “clean eating.” Forget counting anything but bites.
It’s time to crawl before we can walk again.
Eat less. Enjoy more. Feel full. Be done.
Because the truth is embarrassingly simple:
It was never the food. It was always the quantity.
