Thank you so much for your replies, everyone! I could not agree more with everyone who said that it is good to be hungry one to two hours before a meal-- I find I don't enjoy them if I am not sufficiently hungry. To answer KCCC, the extra rules I added were mostly concerning portion control-- I limi...

Long-Time No-S-ers: Maintenance?
I started No S last September and, because I was very enthusiastic (and maybe a little too legalistic) in adhering to the rules I lost fifteen pounds in three months, which was all the weight I needed to lose. My problem is maintenance-- eventually, the extra rules I had imposed upon myself got to b...

I love "nothing worthwhile is ever easy"-- by far the hardest part of No S is the slow pace. I found one in a book Reinhard recommended, Mindless Eating : Out of sight, out of mind. (For snacks, sweets, and seconds tempting you on N days). And, as someone who struggled especially with snacking force...

Portion shrinkage?
Successful no-s-ers: Did you find that you had very large plates toward the beginning of the process? Did your plates get smaller? How exactly did this happen, and after how long? I'm just wondering because, after a great 4 months on the diet and a not so great 4 months, I'm starting again and have ...

I've had a very similar experience (thinking about food all the time, eating whatever junk is around on S-days because I can, finally going off NoS because of frustration), and I know how annoying it is to look at normal eaters and not be able to have the snack, dessert, whatever. And although I can...

I also have fallen off the bandwagon-- multiple times, and for as much as four months at a time-- and I've found that after I "mess up," my perspective on the situation is pretty out of whack. The only thing you can do in these situations is mark a red day on your calendar and move on. Try to think ...

How to deal with pressure from others?
It has been a month since I (seriously) began the No S Diet, and so far I haven't been unable to get through a week without one, two, or three red days, so my weight loss has been basically negligible. At first, I was okay with this, because I knew it was my own fault that I was not adhering to the ...

Me too.
I just wanted to thank you for saying you're not going to give up because that is so encouraging to someone like me! I had given up somewhat permanently at the beginning of the summer, and started again two weeks ago. I lost a half a pound in two weeks and was so discouraged that I took four s-days ...
