I'm still working on my IDDs, but breakfast is either 1 C of Kashi Go Lean with 1/2 C of rice milk, one piece of whole wheat toast with Smart Balance spread and some jam, and fresh fruit (or I'll sub a couple of Morning Star sausage patties for the toast and jam). My other option I'm enjoying lately...

Question about virtual plating
My question is more about how to virtual plate pre-packaged food. For example, my normal lunch during the week is a full sandwich, a handful of raw veggies with half a condiment cup of fat free salad dressing for dip, a handful of berries, and a 3.9 oz. container of Mott's Healthy Harvest applesauce...

Mimi, You said a couple of things that really spoke to me. 1). I, too, have had a dysfunctional relationship with the scale. I'm sure it stems from when I was anorexic my freshman year of high school (I'm 34 now). I've gotten a little better about compulsively weighing myself, but I'm thinking about...

Kathleen, I totally hear what you're saying in your journal entries. I've only had time to skim the last few, but I know how frustrating it can be to want to lose a certain amount of weight and have it take much longer than you thought it would. I'm not overweight, but I want to lose about 5 more po...

What an intersting thread! I used to obsessively track my calories, protein/carb/fat intake, calories burned from exercise, etc... but it was making me too crazy, so I've recently stopped doing it. However, I've been trying to pay attention to the foods that my body seems to want/need lately, and th...

I do think different people have different dietary needs. I know for me, I tend to do better when I eat a more balanced mix of carbs and proteins. If I eat too many carbs, I feel less satisfied and tend to overeat. If I eat too few carbs, I feel cranky and tired. I also seem to need to eat a more mo...

I got too crazy again, so I'll have to work on reigning myself in on S days. The only sweets I ate that I really wanted were the organic pomegranate poptarts, the ...

I'm about 2 weeks into NoSing, and I had headaches my first week of doing NoS. For me, I'm pretty sure if was from sugar withdrawal, because I drink plenty ot water during the day (8-10 glasses). I was also getting almost faint with hunger between 4-6 PM, but that seems to be getting better, also. I...
