3aday, I'm with you! no measuring & accounting for me, ever again! I have been doing shovelglove & modified noS (I have a "one bite of sweet after every meal" rule during the week, regular noS on weekends - keeps me happy & prevents sugar binges on weekends) for about 3 months now. I have not lost s...

How about cutting back by one teaspoon per week? That way you will become used to drinking tea with less sugar gradually, in a number of weeks, and may not mind the difference as much. I live in the south, and when I get iced tea in a restaurant i ask for unsweet tea with a splash of sweet tea, and ...

Try cacao nibs!

I eat them everyday. They taste nutty with a hint of chocolate - quite bitter. NO WAY is this an S-day food!

i agree, if you eat 7000 calories extra one day you most likely will NOT gain 2 pounds in that day. Although we all know the "calorie in, calorie out" mantra, we are biological organisms, and are NOT 100% efficent. If you eat that much excess in a short period, some of it is bound to "come out the o...

I then purchased the smallest sledge i could find, which was 8 lbs. I found this difficult to lift, so week 2 consisted of 5 reps each side, and I did stret...

When I started NoS, I found myself falling into the "binge on sweets" trap on weekends, which was strange, since I have never been a big sweets fan. Sure, I love sweets, but I am usually satisfied with a bite of something sweet after a meal, or a spoon of the best ice cream i can find. The "no sweet...

I have been using this pedometer for about a year. I have found it to be pretty accurate and convenient. Two suggestions: 1. if you clip it to your waist be sure to use the "leash", it tends to fall off at inopportune times (like when you pull pants down, then "splash", if you get my drift....) 2. I...
