Thanks for this. I too have started and quit No S a zillion times. I started again just yesterday. The main reason I've quit in the past is because I've seen no scale movement or (worse) scale movement up. I told myself yesterday that this is it--- no other diets/eating plans work and No S makes the...

I like these ideas. The right size tupperware would work, as would a standard list of planned lunches. Thanks for the suggestions:)

lunch at work

Hi all, I have struggled with No S in the past, and I think it's mostly lunch that's giving me problems (well, that and my desire to eat sweets after dinner). I struggle with the one plate rule at lunch when I take my lunch to work. When I take leftovers from dinner, I do OK. Enough calories to keep...

My experience sounds exactly like noni's, except I haven't yet been fasting as long. I eat dinner everyday-- either before or after my fast begins or ends. On non-fast days I eat 3 meals-- trying to make them healthy--- and on S Days I eat 3 meals with the occasional treat.

All you need to do is read some of the latest research that's being done on fasting (particularly in the last 10 years). While certainly more research needs to be done, that that has already been completed shows very promising links between fasting and good health--- reduction in insulin levels, low...

Historically, people have fasted intermittently much longer than they've had access to three meals a day. Also people fast all the time for religious reasons. In my research on the topic, I've found people who have been fasting intermittently for 10, 20, 30 years. It is sustainable, as is No S. Both...

Thanks for posting your experience, Bssh. I've been experimenting with IF off and on for awhile now-- both 24 and 16:8. I think 24 is the best method for me, and have been thinking of 24 X 3/week (MWF) until I lose my extra 50 pounds and then dropping to 24 X 1 or 2 to maintain, combining with No S ...

Do you count "minor" holidays as S days?

I have started and re-started No S MANY times over the last few years, only to abandon it for something else. In 2013, however, I'm committed to sticking with Vanilla No S for the entire year-- no distractions and no switching plans! It's going well so far--- one red day since the first of the year ...
