just a suggestion or a Mod: I use intermittent fasting along with No S (along with paleo-ish eating which is great for my blood sugar). I eat "breakfast" at 10am, "lunch" at 2pm and dinner at 6pm. With this schedule I am not hungry between meals at all. Fasting from 7pm til 10am is so very easy once...

I thought I would say something about the glories of cooking once a week as my Intelligent Default! I eat pretty Paleo, so every Sunday I grill chicken and salmon. I saute dark leafy greens in butter and coconut oil. I make a ton of cauliflower rice. I roast two huge trays of squash, sweet potatoes ...

I too had to change my S day to eat whatever you want but keep it to 3 meals days. If I snack, I binge. Now I plan to have exactly what I want on my (one) S day. Last weekend it was an enormous sweet muffin for breakfast, pancakes for lunch, and movie popcorn for dinner. Of all the "S"s, I think the...

I eat my first meal at 10 or 11, my second meal at 2 or 3, and my dinner at 6 or 7. Absolutely no snacks or eating after dinner. I love my schedule and it has worked so well for me--breakfast as such always used to set me off --I ate much more during days when I started eating early. I also need my ...

for me, not eating til 11 am has SO regulated my eating. I no longer binge, I have 3 moderate meals, I no longer graze or snack between meals (thanks NoS) :D and I stop eating after dinner. Before intermittent fasting and NOS, I grazed all day long and if I tried to stop eating for awhile I would re...

For quite awhile now, I have done intermittent fasting--16-17 hours a day which means I do not eat after dinner and I eat "breakfast" at 11am, "lunch" at 3pm and dinner at 6-7. I feel MUCH better doing this--after a few days, there was no morning hunger at all, and I get the benefit of prolonged fas...

I have an EAS protein drink at 3pm. It is about 110 calories, which I figure is the same as a glass of milk, but the 15 grams of protein really help carry me thru til dinner time. Not a whole food, I know. Just my choice--I am trying to stick with the idea of liquids between meals, but sometimes I n...

just want to say that my 22nd day on NoS was my first failure day--and it became somewhat difficult after that--after much trial and error, I stopped aiming for what No S calls success (in whatever vague way it does that) and started aiming for what I call success--which in some ways is even more st...

for me on vanilla no S, breakfast would be a nonfat plain yogurt mixed with cottage cheese, bran cereal and fruit. Lunch would be a sandwich and fruit. I gained weight. I am hypothyroid (medicated) and menopausal--I don't think what happened to me would happen to the normal average person. Now break...

You know, I am in a similar boat, and have made an accomodation that I think is working for me--Still No S--but lowcarb for both breakfast and lunch--and then moderate carbs for dinner. For the time being, I am not doing much "S" eating, unless I am out for dinner and am offered something--and I too...

Thank you for the help everyone. I weighed myself, and while it wasn't pretty, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I have gained 7 pounds since starting no S and I have gained 20 pounds since stopping a previous very low fat low carb diet. Continued weight gain is unacceptable to me. My plate size is goo...

just to be clear, I have no intention of giving up NoS. It really makes me feel good to eat like this--that part of things has normalized for me. In terms of excess--I have documented my food intake daily for 5 years, so I have an excellent idea of how many calories etc I am taking in. I believe tha...

Wild Weight Gain on No S
I came to No S from a low carb diet. I have done a good job of sticking to the guidelines, I eat 3 times daily, S's only on Friday and Saturday. I think I have gained 15 pounds in the last three months since starting. Obviously my body breaks out in fat in response even to moderate carbs. I am unwil...
