I used to crash with low blood sugar but that has stopped since I started on NoS. I am eating decent meals but nothing unusual for me. I just found that when I stopped snacking and eating sweets that I stopped crashing. Sometimes between lunch and dinner, around 4pm, I'll get to feeling a bit ill an...

Phew. OK, here goes .. SW: 285 GW: 150 Yeah .. that's a lot of numbers to get rid of. Hey Airen, you've lost 49 pounds, that's awesome. What did you do to lose the weight, the lean cuisine? I notice you've only been doing NoS for a month and a half and I hope you haven't lost all that in that time f...

well, I haven't been posting, I seem to follow several patterns. No posting and haphazard plan following and then avid posting with stickler to the rules. I need to somehow overlap those two!

It's been a few days since I've posted but I've been busy. I am so pleased though because I went on a work trip and was away from home for three days without my routines and normal "life" and I still stuck to NoS. Woohoo!! I think what's amazing is that even though two of the days were S days, I did...

It's interesting how sweet things are becoming to my palate. Things which normally aren't sweet to me are very sweet. Fresh strawberries are in season now and I'm loving it. Last June I went 100% raw and I just ate so much fruit and greens, it was a great time for me and I'm looking forward to eatin...

I can understand the frustration with the medical profession. I went to see my Dr. and had lost 25lbs since I'd last seen her and was starting to exercise and she looked at me and told me it wasn't good enough. That I should be doing a lot more. Talk about a burn .. it's like, what the heck? Can you...

Why not try one of their teas? They have hot and cold. Avoid the tea frapps as they are loaded with sugar too. They have a hot chai which is tasty if you add some half & half for richness. It is different than their chai tea latte since it's an actual chai tea bag in water, not the heavily sugared m...

Right now, I'm more focused on getting the habits ingrained than what I'm putting into the body. Once I feel like the habits are true habits and second nature I will likely begin taking strides toward eating more quality foods. I can't handle too much at one time or else I'll just give up entirely o...

I am definitely guilty of "tweaking" because if it works well one well, tweaking it MUST make it work better. Not. I'm also the queen of justification.

The other thing to remember is that this is a prepared food world. Most people do not cook for themselves and if they do "cook" they are making a boxed/canned meal. Our ancestors all cooked their foods and no matter what it was they cooked with lard, butter, etc, it was still probably healthier for ...

When you diet, you are immediately setting yourself up to fail because you are looking forward to when you get OFF the diet. Like wosnes said, this isn't a diet. There isn't a time to go OFF the "diet", it's habit building and once a habit is built it's something that is a part of you. Now, that sai...

Thanks Jan ... The deal with meals is that I stop wanting the food before I'm finished with my plate and it's just not enough food for me to get to my next meal so I'm pushing myself to eat more to make it. I don't really like that feeling. I've worked hard over the past years to stop eating when I'...

Today went well. I had grapes around 4:30 as a snack I suppose because I knew I wouldn't be eating dinner until at least 7:30. I can't go from noon to 7:30 without feeling ill, maybe in time I will but not now. I don't count that as a failure because it was either that or be sick. I didn't eat junk ...

Hello everyone - I'm new here. I saw the No S book at B&N on Sunday and was intrigued. I read a bit of it while standing in the aisle and decided it was worth looking into.
