That's a great idea, I never thought of that! Thank you, will try!

I could try but my lunch break is at noon and that's already a six hour window between meals, which is definitely my upper limit (before I started NoS I ate every three hours).

I'm back. I left NoS about six months ago, and have finally decided this is the way to go for me. I have a question though. I tend to stay up significantly later on fridays and saturdays (probably not an uncommon phenomena) and I've been having a small snack (usually fruit or a piece of chicken, not...

November was a promising month but this month I've only had 4 green days. I feel as though I've failed so much my brain is no longer interested in making me try. I do somewhat well during the day but the afternoons quickly go downhill and my brain seems to no longer care about sticking to the rules ...

Only five days have been green for me this month so far. Not great. But I had a non-scale victory yesterday. I was at work and my boss's mom came in with a whole plate full of Christmas treats. She's notoriously a fabulous baker and cookies are just about my favourite thing on the planet. But I stay...

Hi moksha, I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time. It doesn't really matter that you are having a bunch of red days as long and you are seeing some improvement and/or experiencing some peace with your eating habits. I've had whole months of nothing but red but I was always able to point to som...

This whole month has been red days for me. I'm very committed to no s and start the day off with fantastic intentions and then make some rookie mistakes (not bringing enough food for my meals to work, then binging on chocolate and carrying the subsequent blood sugar imbalance onto the next day). I'v...

Hi moksha! Just wanted to say I'm rooting for you. Don't feel so bad if you have a bad day! Like you said, today's a new day. But if it means anything, I lost 67 lbs formally counting calories, and the one thing I learned is not to wait for tomorrow. A new moment's a new moment, and I think this ap...

Friday FAILURE I woke up insanely depressed and angry on Friday, had my breakfast and then had my lunch early along with a muffin (which I never normally eat and is a binge trigger for me) and the day just spiralled out of control from there. I find if I wake up in a bad mood it's much harder for me...

The morning ride I do on a cup of tea only, after an overnight "fast" of around 14 hours. 5 years ago I would never have attempted this, but these days it is not an issue, so definitely your body can get used to a different routine and learn to draw on stores instead of needing to be fed at all hou...

Thanks for the responses everyone! I think I'm going to try to stick out the three plate method as I like the solidity/ease of 3 plates. At this point I know if I start easing up on the rules I will probably break them. Hopefully my body will get used to being fed a little less. I do have low blood ...

This is no-s for me the second time around. Day 2 and I know my portion sizes are way too big, but yesterday I was so hungry I almost fainted (light-headed, dizzy and brain fog at work). I'm 5'4" and female so it's quite easy for me to eat beyond my means and gain weight. Being too hungry also gives...
