Re: Things that doesn't make sense
The first thing I would say is that No S is a way to get into the habit of eating moderately within a culture that does not support moderation. It does not address every point about good nutrition and healthy eating, and doesn't attempt to. To quote from Reinhard on the front page: The No S Diet is ...

Thanks Linda. I don't think we're any smarter, but I think people have the benefit of hindsight - we've seen the Brexit vote and the US election, and although at first there was a lot of excitement about "sticking it" to whomever or whatever, it has seems like a big protest vote doesn't necessarily ...

Friday, red - no exercise, spent the evening with my husband though and it was really nice. Saturday / Sunday - a bit lazy actually. Looking forward to cycling to work today. Been completely distracted by politics this weekend. We had our election here in Western Australia on Saturday. Heaps of peop...

Oh Linda, I'm so sorry about your dogs, that's just heartbreaking. Hugs to you, and extra snuggles to your little Tessa. Absolutely the right call, but that doesn't make it easy. A lot of social events I organise I regret organising at some stage in the beforehand planning, and the larger and more c...

Love it! Every so often we get duck curry from our local Thai place - duck, coconut milk, veg and lychees - yum!! I love that this is vanilla No S, but like you I recognise that I couldn't eat it for dinner every night and maintain. I really like that No S gives the boundaries, and within that the c...

Thanks kaalii! Yes, my dog loves it and I'm sure yours will too. The variation in my activities is mostly out of necessity - can't always get a baby sitter, or a space, to do things :) Weekend - a bit of a write off, but did lots of walking and swimming with the kids. Monday - Couch to 5K, Week 3, D...

I'm not someone who "binges" per se, but I've had plenty of red days where I've just eaten my way through the whole day, putting away enough food for three women. And the best advice I've ever had from posters here was "mark it and move on". Put the red on your habitcal, an then focus on green the n...

Thurs 2nd March, cycled to work. Proud of this, as had nasty headache last night from walking in hot humid weather, and didn't sleep well due to thunderstorm and kids getting up. Had a specialist appointment yesterday, and found that I'll have to have a procedure in a few weeks to cut out a skin can...

I realized something yesterday. Habit is where it's at. I realised this last year, when I tried to tinker with S days and S events and went a bit off the rails. As I said at the time - habit is a dumb beast, don't confuse the poor thing :) So yeah, even years in to this journey, still realising stu...

This is not as simple as I hoped it would be. No S is simple, but not always easy. That's why there is a whole discussion board here where we support each other - so welcome! I often feel a little "empty" before bed, as I eat early with my kids. I'm relatively used to it now and similar to Merry I ...

Everyone has had such good things to say on the emotional side. On a purely practical note, when I've had some reds / a crazy long weekend, it usually takes quite a few normal green N days to see any change in the scale. Concentrate on your behaviour and the scale will catch up eventually. The scale...

Thurs 23rd - ran to work (couch to 5k day 2). Work is suddenly very busy, so I am flat out trying to get everything done in only 3 days a week. This morning was very tempting to just go on the bus and be a bit earlier, but I pushed myself to do the run. There will always be lots of busy in all areas...

Reinhard's definition of "sweets" has always been "something whose principal source of calories is sugar". If a teaspoon of sugar in a coffee is fine, then a teaspoon of honey on your porridge is fine. It's not "made entirely from sugar" if the honey is on top of a bowl of oats. If you're eating the...

Every so often I look at my naturally slim husband and think "Stuff it, it's not fair". And for a little while even the simple, humane rules of No S seem too harsh. So I really feel you on wanting just no rules at all sometimes. Usually I follow up with some red days or a crazy weekend, then feel cr...
