My Story / Do any of you count calories?
I am a huge fan of the No-S diet and as much as I have gone on and fallen off the bandwagon again, I always come back to this as the most sane way of eating, a lifestyle that I love and can maintain forever! I have to say though, since i started this diet again in February up to now, I have only los...

this is a very scary finding with major implicAtions. It seems to be suggesting that the neurological factor in food and weight loss is just as important as exercise and diet!! If you think about it, they are implying that fatty foods don't just make you fat because of their calories, but also beca...

Hi all, out of pure curiosity, has anyone done no S throughout their pregnancy? Was it hard to do? How much weight did you put on? What were the biggest obstacles?

How hard/easy is it for your to have a "good week"
Do you find it hard to get through the week without slipping up, or is it relatively easy to follow no-s perfectly. I find that I eat a large plate at each meal, so the snacking isn't a huge problem for me... by the time i get hungry, it is almost dinner time anyway. the seconds take more work since...

I agree about the MINI FAST concept. If you eat dinner early at 5:3o and don't snack at night and eat breakfast at 8/9 the next day, you've gone about 15/16hrs out of your 24hr day without eating. "Fasting" does sound scary in a world where people are on perma-snack mode, but many consider 15 hrs wi...

I personally think it is the way we are wired. It is very hard and against human innate tendencies to focus on abstract long-term goals, when there are other specific, short-term goals.
