3 month check in
I'm just a few days past 3 months on my modified version of no s. I can't say enough good things about the diet. No s has had a very positive effect on my relationship with food. In turn that has led to some increase in self esteem. I'm not losing weight rapidly but when I have mostly green days I d...

Not sure if this holds true for all of those groups, but it seems a lot of them live in the same place for most of their lives, follow a pretty traditional lifestyle (not just food) and are part of a tight knit community as well. It does me good sometimes to remind myself that there is a lot to good...

Hi wosnes, I'll check out that book you mentioned, it sounds very interesting. Here are my mods and commentary about them, maybe more than you wanted to know! Mod one: not following the no seconds rule. The reasons for this mod are that I thought I would overeat more if I had to have it all on one p...

8/25 started back on NoS (with mods)
Some of you may remember me from back in February when I started a discussion about my fear of not being able to eat healthy enough if I followed NoS. At the time I announced that I would commit to following NoS for 6 months. I did not follow through with that. However, the discussion has been perco...

The other is that I told myself I was going to go on a different diet and mentally gave myself an in between diets "free zone".

I'm still curious as to why you don't think eating in a way that promotes health and No-S aren't compatible. By the way, I have heart disease and I had a heart attack in 1995. My overall health has improved since starting No-S. I think it would be hard to eat the amount of vegetables & fruit that I...

Fear of not eating healthy enough
One thing that is getting in my way of making a commitment to following no s is a fear that I won't eat healthy enough (to prevent heart disease, colon cancer, etc.). Yet, I really don't eat all that well now. It's just that I have this ideal in my head of what I should be eating and I am worried ab...

It is very interesting to me to notice how often I think about snacking. I can really see how easy it would be to eat quite a bit more with snacks and also with seconds than without. I'm enjoying the process.
