I had successfully followed the No-S diet successfully several years ago. I have gained some weight lately, mostly in the belly area. My greatest challenge is a very uncomfortable gnawing hunger between meals. Today I have returned to the website desperately looking for strategies to get me from one...

john

Well, I have returned to NOS again , I think for the fourth time. The continuing problem is my gnawing hunger between meals. This is usually my only discomfort, no weakness or dizziness. Blood tests for hypoglycemia have been negative. I do have symptoms of IBS. I have tried your helpful suggestions...

Here I am again with my continuing problem of gnawing hunger between meals. It does not seem to matter what or how much I eat at meal time, I get uncomfortably hungry at the same times each day. I don't even need to wear a watch. I have reverted to two snacks, popcorn in the AM and raw veggies in th...

john

Thank you for your responses to "Interpretation Please". I also was thinking that episode was a delayed response of "the dumb animal" hunger. I don't remember what I had for supper that evening, I had just stopped keeping a food diary the previous week. Incidently, the diary did not show any obvious...

john

I have begun my 4th attempt at NoS with great enthusiasm a couple days ago. I have even overcome my aversion to computers and am using the Habitcal online. Hunger between meals is my major problem and I have been doing moderately well until TODAY. I became ravenously hungry this afternoon. I gritted...

john

I thought I would give this a try today but I am technically challenged. I need more direction than I found under "Everyday Systems:Habitcal". Can anybody make it simple enough for this dumb Dutchman?

john

Many,many thanks to all of you. I have tried the milk and juice for hunger between meals without success. Your other responses gave me some new perspectives. I will try the instant oatmeal with peanut butter. If that does not help, I shall try skipping breakfast until midmorning.[/b]

john

Here I am again. My downfall is snacks between meals. I am still searching for something to add to my willpower for that gnawing hunger 2-3 hours after breakfast and after lunch. Supper is my largest meal so that probably is why I have less trouble in the evening. I have tried everything suggested l...

john

I will try your beef or chicken broth idea for my gnawing hunger between meals. I assume I can make a satisfactory broth by adding a beef or chicken Bouillion cube to hot water?

john

I tried the celery and was able to remove some of the strings but the trouble does not seem to be worth it. It hardly dented my hunger and might have upset my stomach a tad. My next "experiment" is a violation of NOS rules I guess. I was considering 1/2 a raw veggie sandwich (whole wheat bread with ...

john

OK, I will try Reinhardt's idea using celery to satisfy my hunger between meals. I already know that I like adding fat-free cream cheese to it . I am assuming the cup of water for moisture is poured over the celery and not next to it in another small container. I am a stereotypical dumb Dutchman whe...

john

Now to catch up with your very helpful suggestions. In answer to the question about my weight loss, I only need to lose 15-20 pounds. I am not obese but being male, all the extra baggage collects around my middle and this exacerbates my low back pain. This is my motivation for the NoS Diet. Unfortun...

john

Well I tried the hot chocolate between Breakfast and Lunch AND IT WORKED! I just hope this is not "the placebo effect". I have not tried the "different plating" idea yet but that also has promise. I really feel lousy if I increase my breakfast by adding protein (my IBS?). Unfortunately the fruit ide...

john

Thank you both! I will try both ideas!

john

Well friends, I began my NoS lifestyle again yesterday after repeated failures. My morning hunger was at least an 8 out of 10 on my comfort scale. Hunger during the afternoon and evening are less troublesome. My problem is hunger between meals. I have posted this problem previously and have both rec...

john

You know, on the topic of grain based diet of populations elsewhere in the world, I was also thinking about past populations. I believe the usual diet of a Roman Legionnaire was mostly grain(oats) with little meat or animal products? They were physically robust enough to conquer the known world incl...

john

I hate to show my ignorance but what is this "check in thread" you suggested I read ??

john

Thank you. I read the excerpt from "Why We Get Fat..." A problem I see with this rather comprehensive change in diet is finding substitutes for the starches, grains and sugars that do not force me to become a chef or a pauper.

john

Hello, it's me again and I continue to have exactly the same problem as Lolly with the gnawing , distracting hunger. I would be interested to know if anything has worked for Lolly. Right now I am considering the Primal Blueprint (Paleolithic) Diet. It seems rather extreme so I am reconsidering the g...

john

Thank you. The two teaspoons of oil idea intrigues me!!! Perhaps I will try adding olive oil. My meals are fairly well balanced except for perhaps too little fat so I will play around with that variable. I also will see if I can function at the computer all day afteer reducing my "cowboy coffee" (st...

john

I do really appreciate your replies, thank you. I drink about 10 cups of coffee a day(80 ounces). The H2orange didn't help, and the whole milk helped only slightly. The 4th "mini meal" didn't do much either, just postponed the hunger more effectively than the H2orange or milk. I was able to hold out...

john

I read the "Sooooooo Hungry ...." entry with continued interest. I have posted my problem with gnawing hunger between meals several times. As a matter of fact I gave up on the diet . I am going to try again and hope my hunger abates after two months this time. My question is concerning coffee. I dri...

john

For breakfast I have a cereal mixture of Bran Buds, Go Lean Cereal, Grape Nuts Cereal, raisens, walnuts and Soy Milk, a couple of pieces of cheese and a cup of coffee. Midmorning and midafternoon lately I have Soymilk with Citrucel to reduce the hunger and not violate the NoS diet. Lunch is a thick ...

john

In desperation, I have again searched this site for solutions to my between meal hunger. My difficulty matches exactly the problem described by Ariel King in April 2005. There are only two differences. One, I have been tested and my blood sugar does not vary much from 100. Two, I have a moderate cas...

john

I have commented several times previously about my hunger between meals. When starting NoS I lost a considerable amount of weight rather quickly but did so by just clenching my teeth and not snacking. Honestly, my hunger between meals has never changed one iota. I have fallen "off the wagon" because...

john

Two questions:
1. What is this "Cave Man Diet"? If it was described in detail in an earlier entry I did not see it.

2. I am attempting to go through all 54 pages, but one or two at a sitting. How do I jump ahead to the next unread page directly without starting at page 1 each evening?

john

Great feedback. Actually I do like to eat eggs, unfortunately it's fruit that I don't favor. I never considered the effect of both banana's and cheese, so the digestive slowdown just might explain the extra pounds. I guess it was just my attempt to include one of the few fruits I will eat. Ditto wit...

john

For the past two weeks,I made suggested changes to help with hunger between meals. I begin my day with just coffee and juice, postponing breakfast until 9 AM at work. This breakfast has been my usual cereal/walnut mix with Soymilk but with the addition of meat and cheese in a sandwich wrap. This get...

john

Thank you new friends! I will wait about a week for any further suggestions then make my plan and implement it. I will report progress or lack of it. If some of these strategies work for me perhaps they will help one or two others.

Thanks again!

john

I am a 64 year old man weighing in today at 178 lbs . My height is 5' 10" and my occupation is very sedentary. I code Medical Records at our local hospital so sit in front of a computer all day. I do a brief free weight workout( 20 min) at 6:30 AM before leaving for work. I also take a 15 minute wal...

john

Again, I want to thank all of you for your response to my hunger problem. Several have asked me to describe what and how much I am eating. I will do so at the risk of boring you. I plead quilty of having the teutonic passion for routine. Here is how my day usually goes. You will note a considerable ...

john

I am back again, having fallen off the wagon repeatedly during the last week or so. The problem continues to be intense hunger between meals. I have been drinking plenty of the H2Orange to cut my hunger(Plan A). When that did not greatly reduce the gnawing hunger I introduced a fourth meal ( instant...

john

This aloe vera product called Stomach Formula looks very interesting. When I googled it I got a number of different products all sharing the same name. Which one did you discover by accident? I want to make sure I try the one that has worked for you. Where did you buy it and who manufactures it?

john

I have been following the principles of the NoS diet for several months now. I have lost the weight I wanted to lose but one thing that I have not lost is intense hunger between meals. I have been trying whole milk and the H2Orange drinks suggested. I have even slipped in a fourth small meal to redu...

john

Many,many thanks to my new friends offering advice for my gnawing hunger dilemma! Hunger times are very predictable midmorning and midafternoon. I usually have a tortilla with greens and cheese before leaving for work(6:30 AM) then high fiber cereal, walnuts,raisens,soymilk when arriving at work( 8:...

john

I have been following the No-S diet for 3 weeks and the gnawing hunger between meals still makes me very uncomfortable. I have not tried the Black Bread but the oatmeal is like trying to stop a Sherman tank with a pea shooter. The whole milk makes little difference and water no difference at all. I ...
