Portion Plate
Anybody heard of/tried this? It seems like something that would be a good complement to no S for some people. Check it out here: http://www.theportionplate.com/ In other news, I'd like to be back in the fold. Life's been crazy for me in the past several months... I finished my dissertation and am wa...

Hi. Well, I've been away for a while, but trying to sneak back in... hoping someone will notice. It's been a tough time for me ever since last Monday when I tried to defy the laws of physics and drove into my garage door without opening it first. Duh!!! So, yeah. I think symptomatic of how utterly t...

That's what I figure. I do feel quite yucky right now. Not sweating it, though. Why should my path be different from anyone else's. It's reassuring to know that others have been here... done this. I agree that this yucky feeling is better avoided in the future. Tomorrow is Sunday, but I think I S-da...

Everyone needs to read this article!!!
This is an article that appeared in the NY Times in January. It really reinforces a lot of what No S endorses.

Here's my understanding of "sometimes". It's a feature of NoS that is designed to make it as compatible with real life as possible. For me, I think that means a few things: 1) If I get a hankering for something on a no S day, I delay gratification and "contain" the experience in a safe space. No one...

Hi. For me No S comes at the end of a process, not at the beginning. Before coming to No S, I have had to examine a lot of other things about my life. I had to deconstruct and reconstruct the actual foundation upon which disordered and dysfunctional eating patters have been based upon. With a matter...

Good morning/afternoon. This is a challenging day for me. First of all, it's a no-work day. It's also Holy Thursday. I'm not religious, but my family tends to have food-related traditions. I don't want to turn the whole week into an exception to the rule. I've tried to keep to the rules, because the...

Hi. I'm finding this thread very interesting. I like what someone said about having to feel hungry each day and to learn to sit with and tolerate that hunger. I'd also like to direct your attention to an NY Times piece titled "Unhappy Meals", which I think articulates a lot of the "principles" (too ...

The Book should have a different title!
Hi Reinhard. I don't even know if you're still checking this thread, but it occurred to me that had I encountered this "diet" before your book deal, I would have suggested that you not call it a "diet" book. It's not really a diet, in the current sense of the word. It's actually "a return to normal ...

Daily Check-in #2
So, the first part of the day went well. For me, on the 3 days that I work, the hours between arriving home from work and dinner time are the most critical. Once again today I had a trail mix biscotti with coffee after work, but I think I'm OK with that because it's OK in terms of "virtual plating"....

Good Morning. So far so good on day 2. Once again, a rushed morning, so I grabbed a couple of Trail Mix Biscotti for b'fast. I made myself a nice sandwich for lunch. All's well. I have some thoughts on weighing and quick weight loss. I think I'm deciding to weigh myself really sporadically because s...

Back again. Made a dinner of "lentil and rice confetti" with raw shredded carrots as a salad and a cup of homemade plain yogurt. This is how I've always liked to eat, but I would just eat too much (and I mean too much) of a good thing, go to bed stuffed, graze from after dinner until bedtime. But af...

Hey.. this is my first day here and with No S, but I feel welcome and comfortable enough to give you some pointers: What hooked me in is that 1) You articulate in a clear, down-to-earth manner what each of us knows inside, but has lost touch with. What you're saying is just simply common sense and s...

Hi Again. I felt a need to post again after lunch. I just had my yummy healthy sandwich in the company of two colleagues who also had cancellations. It was nice to eat communally rather than alone, in front of a computer screen. I feel pleasantly full, rested, relaxed, a little sleepy (post-prandial...

Patty's Good Morning Shout Out
G'Morning to everyone on this, my very first day ever of sanity. I'm generally a very healthy eater, but my problem has always been that my "meals" have no beginning, middle, or end. Yes, I will fess up to being a chronic grazer, and No-S seems to be just the remedy I've been seeking. So, let's see:...

Hi Hilary. Thanks for the warm welcome. In a way, everyone eventually has to end up "here" right? That is, if they want to make a permanent change and not mess with their metabolism too much. Seriously. I've tried everything. Atkins, Eat to Live, South Beach... You name it. I even tried to do the wh...

I'm new here!
Hi Reinhard. First of all, I don't think I ever laughed so hard as when I went to the shovelglove section! I'm still gigging! Anyhow, this all makes so much sense to me. I've been looking to change things for myself for some time now. I'm a mom to two small kids (almost 4 and 2), have suffered from ...
