I'm not a 'super-taster,' so I don't even detect a yeast taste in nutritional yeast. I also don't think of nutritional yeast as 'cheezy' either, but I've heard others describe it that way. I like it on its own, but I can imagine others thinking of it as an 'acquired taste.' In any event, that's the ...

Nutritional yeast
Just noticed this posting. I use nutritional yeast flakes almost everyday. I think of it as a FOOD, not a supplement. I like it in scrambled tofu, along with some turmeric for color and taste. Lately, I've been craving that a lot, so probably 4 out of 7 breakfasts feature it. I also love nutritional...

Yesterday's Menu

So here goes: Breakfast: scrambled tofu, peppers & onions seasoned with nutritional yeast and turmeric (sounds gross, but tastes great), millet bread toast, fresh strawberries Lunch: Whole wheat burrito filled with homemade refried beans, sautee...

The French
Check out this link: http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/01862/Temp4/france.html Clearly, the French who snack and eat a lot of fast food are susceptible to becoming overweight or obese, just as Americans are. Check out the average BMI of several European populations, including the French, here: [/u...

Healthier
I just started the veggies at breakfast last year, and have stuck with it. The protein/veggie breakfast seems to give me lots of energy when I need it, and very importantly, satisfies me till lunch. I aim to get my vegetable quota of at least 5-a-day, but feel most successful if I've accomplished th...

Menus
I'm new to the NoS diet. I am trying hard to hold to the Michael Pollan mantra: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Plus, I would add: served on three plates a day. Some of my meals are medleys including lots of veggies, but sometimes I have a plate of 1/3 protein-concentrated food, with the rest...

Family resistance
Forgive me for the length of this post. I thought I'd lay out the whole dilemma in detail, but long-story-short: I'm NoSing, but my family is not. Plus, we don't keep the same schedules and want to eat at different times of the day, so the kitchen is open about 22 hours a day. I accept TOTAL blame f...

This thread put a smile on my face! In my quest to cast away the ways of the Alwaysians, I have found myself here just in time to prepare for my first three day weekend. Since I'm less than two weeks into this, I fear losing my footing, and falling back into my old ways of snacking mindlessly. I am ...

Small bowls on the plate
I have these cute little lotus bowls which I use all the time. I bought them at Pier 1 at a point where I was determined to downscale the size of my plates and bowls. The bowls look like this: http://teamsugar.com/group/182239/yummarket/182653 They fit nicely on a plate and hold about 1/2 cup of foo...

So happy to see that there are many ways to work this out.
I totally agree that the goal is to learn portion control. That's why I'm trying not to stray too much from the plain vanilla NoS while I'm new to this all. Still, I HAVE used small bowls on my plate for runny foods that I don't want to contaminate the other things there, so why not do the same for ...

Thank you
What a wonderful board! Thank you all for sharing your experience. I'm going to try a tiny dessert bowl of salad with balsamic vinegar for dinner tonight, in addition to my plated meal and I'll see how that goes. Interestingly, this eating plan is reminiscent of the one I recall eating as a kid in t...

Fruits/Veggies and satiety
Hi everyone! I'm new to the No S Diet and this board. Right now, less than a week into this lifestyle, I'm doing great. Managed to survive the weekend without inhaling everything in sight. I know this isn't about the number on the scale because that fluctuates, but I've lost 4 pounds (another 80 or ...
