Everyday Systems

I was cruising along for a month on the nos diet and didnt have a red day. things got tight financially, i now have a part time job and havent been able to maintain due to a really screwed up schedule. If ones mind isn't in a right place, there is no way one can keep up with any diet plan. anyone kn...

I thought for sure I packed on at least 7-10 pounds for the hoilday considering I had family activities from wednesday to sunday, but it was only a 2 pound gain. I can get that off in a week. The holidays are certainly hard on the diet.

got my portions down where i can eat fruit for breakfast and a moderate lunch and dinner. still haven't had a red day, but my exercise schedule is going to suffer because i started an afterwork/weekend part time job.

The first couple of weeks i was filling my plate pretty full, but now i eat normal portions. once you learn how to deal with being hungry a couple of hours after a meal, everything is fine.

How does this work, because it is very bad to not eat something after you give blood, otherwise you could pass out. Would a cookie and juice snack be accepatable in this circumstance?

got a good workout in. started on the treadmill and twenty minutes in, i felt a pain in my right thigh, so i had to stop and do 40 minutes of lighter cardio, its hell being old.

am still 100% on n days, but the weight loss has leveled off the last few days. having trouble getting motivated during the work week to workout, and it will probably get tougher now that i am starting a part time job.

Another n day, didnt workout because the shoulders and arms were sore from the weight training the day before.

Made sunday an n day, ate some popcorn for a snack, otherwise i followed the s day plan till that time. did 25 minutes of weight training.

Going to make today an N day. Didnt due to bad yesterday, had a few more beers that I should, but since I have a history of binge drinking, I make days I drink S days because I crash through the "glass ceiling" like Willie Wonka did in his elevator through his chocolate factory.

I actually dread s days, I feel like I am cheating myself and indulging too much. All and all this diet is helping me quit alot, but like you said in another post, being overweight is very psycological, and we need to conquer that first before we can lose the weight.

made today an s day, had some pumpkin bread for breakfast, and am going to a hockey game tonight so i will probably eat some snacks at the arena. did 50 minutes of yga, starting to get alittle easier, but i am still not very flexable.

All-in all it comes down to the fact that you have to WANT to lose weight. I was 400lbs in 2000, was tired of being alone and went on a single minded eat less and exercise diet (I like to think of as the Bloom County Diet) and lost 200lbs. I was working out 2 hours everyday and eating barely 1200 ca...

I am going on 5 weeks, have had no failures and have lost 20lbs. I still have a long way to go, so I modified my "s" days to 1 on the weekend. I am exercising intermittently, but not as often as I would like.

I incorporate a bagel in different foods. egg and cheese on a bagel will fill the stomach nicely.

call it a s day and omit a saturday or sunday as an s day.

I have found I am saving money because I am not hitting the vending machines at work for snacks or soda. I am also bringing my own breakfast and lunch because it is easier to control my portion size which saves me money from the plant cafeteria.

If your not a Vegan, I find a bagel sandwich with egg and cheese is a quite a filling breakfast, and Pasta with meatless spagetti sauce with a couple of pieces of garlic bread will keep you going for a while also.

There are 2 things I am truely passionate for, The Vikings and Beer. I am doing only 1 "s" day a week, and am making it Sunday, and not for snacks, but for too many beers while watching the Vikings games. I will extend the extra "s" day when the Iowa Hawkeyes make a bowl game. I prefer Guiennes to c...

Been trying to find fun workouts. I have been NoSing for 4 weeks and have lost 15 lbs, but i have been only doing hard workouts on the weekends. Today I played Wii sports boxing for an hour striaght and found that is a great cardio workout. I think I can apply this to 20-30 minutes 3 or 4 times a we...

My wife is an aktins dieter and she still gets her coffees, just uses heavy cream and the surgar free syrups to flavor them.

Pretty happy so far. I did cut down my S days to one on the weekend, seemed kind of a waste to me to lose ground 2 days during the weekend since I am working so hard during the week.

my wife does atkins so i went on it for a while. the problem i had was that after 3 weeks i had the strongest urges for sweets i have ever had. since i started no s and can eat certain carbs, i really dont get any urge for sweets anymore.

i dont see why you couldnt apply the south beach diet to the no s. as i see it, the no s philosophy is just controlling the amount of food consumed, and except for the no sweets, one may eat any food they like for thier 3 meals as long as they dont have 2nds.

I feel exactly the same way. I am about ready to drop my s days down to 1 a weekend. i have been only going 2 weeks, but havent had a failure yet, and when i eat sweets on the weekend now it just makes my gut hurt. I still eat only 1 platefull each meal on s days because i dont want to break that ha...

I am waiting for the "Axle Foley Banana in the Tailpipe" diet.

I agree 100% with the diet, be i am doing my own workout regiment. I like to workout a little harder.

you can use the eggplant for a sustitute for noodles in a lasagna, or look for recipes for eggplant parmesian. I usually dip the eggplant slices in egg, dip in a favorite breading and bake, then top with a spegetti or pizza sauce.

Just started this this week and think this might be the eating habit I can do. I am just wondering what the ratio of females to males is on this board?

I just started this, and am wondering where pretein powder drinks work into this. Is it ok to drink one in between meals, or is it considered only as part of a meal?

Hello all, I stumbled upon this site while looking for a rational eating program, and thought I would give it a try. A little about myself, I am a 40 yr old married male. I was overweight my entire life, and in 2000, I hit 400lbs and decides if I wanted to be happy or ever have sex, I would have to ...
