I'd consider a raspberry mocha a sweet. Maybe you could find some other drinks to try mid-week - a latte with cinnamon sprinkled on top, a cappucino or something else that doesn't include syrup? My husband managed to wean himself off a serious Starbucks mocha addiction by drinking sugar-free vanilla...

Debs, thanks again for sharing your experiences with St John's Wort. I'm not currently taking any meds so there's no possible conflict there for me though I do agree it's important for people to be aware that this can be an issue. I think I might give it a try and I will also try to remember to take...

The Globe & Mail, a national Canadian newspaper, recently published a series of in-depth articles about sodium and how it can be a hidden danger in our diets. Quite fascinating reading; I was surprised to learn that one of the worst "problem foods" for sodium is breakfast cereal! Here is a link to t...

A "me too" here. I gained about 30 lbs while taking an anti-anxiety/antidepressant medication over a 1.5 year period. I had never had any difficulty maintaining a normal weight before that. At first I tried reducing my food intake and dramatically increasing my exercise but this had absolutely no ef...

Re: What do you brown bag?
My "brown bag" is a bento . They're lots of fun and totally No-S compliant because they've built-in portion control. Hah! I was just in the middle of writing something like this. Thanks, Noel. My family loves bento lunches, and I am going to start working on them more seriously this school year in ...

I think the crispness of cookies has a lot to do with the fat/sugar/flour ratios as well as the fat used. Like KCCC I use only butter (though I'm thinking about lard) and I can make cookies that are crisp or soft or chewy. What differs is how much of each is used. I agree and would add that the amo...

I think the food group and "square meal" idea is great as a general guideline but shouldn't be used to rigidly define what is on our plate at each meal. I ask my kids to look at what they eat over a longer period of time, say a week or two, and look for gaps in their diet that show they need to focu...

Don't give up yet Shelly! Like many people said, it can be so many many things that cause one's weight to fluctuate and this way of eating is so "normal" that I'd encourage you to give it a much longer try than any of the food-restrictive or calorie-counting diet. Is it possible that you're getting ...

Hi Daisy! I'm a fellow Atkins refugee :-) I did lose weight on Atkins, and don't have a problem with the diet but when I found no-S I thought for sure it was worth a try. Compared to tedious carb counting and the inability to eat out, and the disgusting aftertaste of splenda, I'm quite pleased with ...

I think during the week this is what i miss the most...the little treats i eat out of boredom and feeling somewhat empty at times. like any habit though, it's getting easier with time, learning to deal with those feelings in other ways. I agree, this is a habit that can be hard to break. I'm starti...

Planning the S-days
Since starting No-S, I seem to have developed a new habit of thoughtfully planning my snacks and sweets for the weekend. I'm not saying I obsess over it or anything, but by Thursday I usually have a pretty good idea of some dessert or treat that I intend to eat that weekend. The past two weekends I'...

Hi! I've been no-Sing for about 3 weeks now and have definitely noticed that it's hardest on Mondays; it seems my body's out of whack after the weekend. Sugar can be a powerfully addictive substance and I take my Monday cravings as evidence of that! I try to make sure I have filling and interesting ...

Hi everyone!
Hi! I've been lurking on here for a week or so now and thought I should introduce myself. I started Atkins on Jan 5th with a goal of losing about 30 lbs, and am taking a break from it by following the No-S diet. I was losing weight very slowly on Atkins so I figured if I'm going to lose weight slowl...
