Day 29 Breakfast: 2 buckwheat pancakes with a little syrup and 2 scrambled eggs Lunch: Dinner: hot dogs, chips, and a diet pop at a school function. And early. 4:30 dinner! This worries me. I may need a mini meal tonight. On second thought, because I am desperate to get rid of diet head, I am going ...

Neice's B/F Birthday: is this boyfriend or best friend? That wouldn't even be close to an S day for me, and cake wouldn't be close to an N Day for me, so *I* would mark it Fail for *me*. I think we all need to decide the ground rules for ourselves, though. But what you did isn't Vanilla No S. Mickie

Day 27 Today's AHA! Moment: When I allow my appetite to rule my meals, I may not eat the same number of calories each day, or get my "5 a day" each day, but it all evens out in the end. I find myself getting enough fruit (whereas fruit used to be a rare item on my plate. Too much sugar, you know), v...

day 23 I know that for me, breakfast must be an equal mix of carbs and protein with some fat in order for it to carry me over until lunch. I also know that a varied lunch suits me better than a one or two item lunch. And dinner has to be hot. That is what I've learned about my belly so far this mont...

Woman Talk. No S Helps with cramps/bloating? *Maybe TMI
Normally this time of month, I am in a lot of discomfort. I bloat, I cramp. My back hurts. This month, not as much. I am usually stuck sitting down with a heating pad for the first three days of my period. This month, it's been much, much better -- the first time I could say that in a decade. So I h...

Every day is a new day, so just restart today. I wouldn't use my weekends as punishment no matter what. Just start today. You'll have a few clean days under your belt. I also think it's important to verbalize weight gain truthfully. Ten pounds from stress of graduating? Isn't graduation a relief? Me...

Day 14 SUCCESS I am a huge fan of the structure of this way of eating. I can count on it. I don't have to pack a snack if I'm leaving for the afternoon, and I don't have to tote around a calorie counter if I'm going to be out for dinner. I can eat sensibly at mealtime and move on. I love this. Break...

I don't have one favorite. I like all that all of you said! I like not having to eat a separate meal from my family (NutraSystem), no chalky shakes (SlimFast), no measuring portions (Weight Watchers), no pills to swallow (Dexatrim, my first attempt!), no being ON A DIET. I no longer much care how qu...

So excited! Weight loss! Yay!
I lost two pounds even in my first No S weigh in!! I'm so excited! I can do this! It works! It's relatively easy to stick to, mostly. Yesterday it felt like forever until the weekend because my meals weren't filling enough, but I stuck with the rules and they saw me through. I'm very happy with this...

I really am not trying to micromanage my nutrition, because that hasn't worked for me in the past. However, I am undecided on how to proceed with my afternoon coffee. It's not something I ...

New No S-er
Hi, Someone told me about this No S Diet ("diet") many months ago and I brushed them off, but it stuck with me, back in the recesses of my brain somewhere. A few days ago, I dusted off the cobwebs and decided to check it out. Yesterday, I started the "program" (I use quotations because it's not real...
