Everyday Systems

:D I had the best homemade tamale pie. I put a piece of that on my plate as well as no fat sour cream and chili fritos. That was a nice one plate meal. My husband and I ate at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch and I made a nice one level plate of good salads. It was plenty. It's so nice to share what everyon...

I am always looking for new ideas. I am having chicken wings, macaroni salad, ranch dressing, celery all on one plate

What are you having?

Enjoy,

Hi, I had your symptoms last week when I started the diet. I found out I needed to add more protein to my meals. Not only did it work, but I found out I wasn't as hungry when I got closer to meal time. We have to form the habit that works for us while still No Sing. I have increased my exercising to...

FFL, I live in the burbs. I am in Highlands Ranch. I read the best article today. We forget about ourselves and everyone else always comes before us. Eat earlier, eat when it satisfies you. Have some iced tea with your hubby while he eats at 9PM. Have good conversation with him. It's easy to keep di...

:D Dear FFL, I was on Medifast and I know what you mean about serving on these liquid diets. I got to eat a protein and a vege at night, but it left me feeling like something was always missing and it just wasn't the real world. Just a suggestion: Eyeball the plate maybe divide it up and make sure y...

I have been doing Leslie Sansone's DVD's for years and just got a new one. It's particulary great if you are just starting out with her exercise of Walk Away The Pounds. I use them when the days are cold, snowy or rainy. Like she says there is never an excuse for not walking. I love walking outside ...

Thank you all for the welcome. I just wish I new about this when I was a teen back in the 60's. I was on total starvation only to gain loose and regain again. Now I am cooking real food, placing it beautifully on one plate. Today is my S day. My husband and I consider this our weekend, because it is...

Lisa, Welcome to the best diet ever. It's not about the loosing only. It is the liberation about not having to totally be afraid to eat, but just get into the habit of eating this way for life. You will never look back. You may not loose a pound a week. Take some measurements first and forget the sc...

This is my 2nd day and I feel great. I have to do my S days on Tuesday and Wednesday because that is my husband's day off and it feels like a weekend to me. This just keeps getting better. Best of luck to you all. Just very liberating for us all.

:roll: When I was 16 and very anorexic, I would only eat 500 calories a day and I had horrible malnutrition and swollen neck glands. I have been on every single diet except diet pills. Doing No Sing has truly saved me in all these years. I am just happy. I walked for an hour today and looking forwar...

Hi, Yesterday was my first day and it was very successful and coming from a liquid diet this is the totally right way to live life. This is my question: When I barbecue chicken I would like to eat the skin especially the wings. I would put this on my plate with veges and maybe a potato is that OK? W...

Lilly, I am with you all the way. I have also lived in your shoes and know how it feels. This is my first day and I feel great about this. I love good food and healthy food to boot. Now it is not the only thing in my life it is a celebration and a natural way to live. I with you girl all the way! Me...

:D Hello all, I just finished the book this very minute. It was the last one on the shelf at Barnes and Noble. I came across it by pure accident. Exetremely enlightening! I have already started today and feel liberated. I just finish loosing 32 lbs. on Medifast which certainly is not real life. I ha...
