Advice for people not eating enough
My recent observation in support of the noS philosophy: Medical advice for people who are loosing too much weight (e.g. during chemotherapy) is to try to eat frequent, small meals. The reason for that is that it is easier to consume more calories per day if it is spread into smaller portions. I find...

Hi Jill I've been noSing for about 11 days only so I know I am not a person you would like to see an answer from. So all I can try to contribute is a little optimism that I started to develop in this time. Since before Easter I've been eating sweets every day and couldn't stop. I kepts saying to mys...

I am totally rebelling too!!! As long as I manage to stay in the healthy range of weight and stick to some rational way of eating, no binges and so on - I think I will actually be satisfied. And I truly believe noS is the way to reach that. Of course I would love to be closer to my "ideal weight of ...

Hi all, I am on my 9th day now (so far only the last three days on habit) and I am loving it so far. I can definitely relate to all those things you say about how your attitude to food changes. I'm getting better in controlling my hunger and even more importantly distinguishing hunger form boredom/s...

I know - I wish I could engrave that in my brain. Once and for all! The amazing thing is that it is 4 hours past my lunch and I am not feeling hungry and not feeling like snacking!!! Even though I am working from home today, which means sitting in the kitchen, next to the fridge and if I did snack n...

And it was close - feeling tired, having period, needing something nice. Desperately. Something like a nice piece of cake. But then I thought, isn't really going to make me feel better? I took an ibuprofen instead. Spent some time on the sun. Had a skinny cappuccino. Did half an hour of productive w...

I was eating quite a bit of sugar just before I started, and for the first few days I had headaches, which I think were because of the drop in sugar levels in my body. But after a couple of days of "withdrawal" it's all good :) Yesterday though, I was craving apples! Really badly... But after my thi...

Perhaps even more than normally, since I know I can't have anything till then. I have just had breakfast, so obviously I am ...

Hi Blamey - thanks for encouragement! I guess it is a bit hard to tell in the beginning whether it is your body just used to snacks or whether my portions could indeed be bigger when I cut down on snacks. I've been snacking quite a bit recently, so I am sure my body has gotten quite used to a consta...

if you worry why all diets say have lots of small meals
I found an interesting link: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=56254 quote: The truth is, the more times a day you sit down to eat a meal or snack, the more opportunities you have to overeat; this can be a serious problem for some people.

Hi Resting! Thanks for your message. I definitely agree with you. Once you break the rules once it is more easy to break them again and again without noticing. I have decided to try to apply the no snacks rule to S days too for now, because once I start I find it hard to stop. Hopefully a nice deser...

Thanks for your posts! I guess my eating habits are a bit like a one long meal indeed. So hopefully it will end up working for me: - I do believe that it makes perfect sense - I know I actually feel way better when I don't snack. - and at the same time hopefully knowing that I can sometimes let it g...

I definitely think all the concepts are great. And that once the habit is developed it does get easier. And I am definitely going to try. I do worry though about this moment, just before it is a really well rooted habit, when it becomes less new/less exciting, when we feel down and miserable that th...

I think it's really cool ho noSing makes you realize where your worst food habits are. On any traditional diet you eat little and feel hungry - which feels expected as "yes of course I am hungry after all I am only eating no carrots and celery". But on noS it feels a bit different. It is not to say ...
