It's "No Sweets" not "No Sugar".

Officially you can certainly use a spoonful of sugar in your coffee or in your oatmeal.

I personally use Splenda. I may change that in the future, as I know artificial sweetners aren't ideal and are probably bad for habit training.

NoelFigart

I do eat my three meals. Sometimes the meals are different. I had a guest over for breakfast and he wanted pancakes, so that's what I made. While not a HUGE thing with me, I did enjoy being able to have them with good real maple syrup and without guilt. I'll be having a normal lunch and dinner. Mayb...

NoelFigart

Yeah, I agree.

I lose weight eating more like this:

Breakfast: Optimized oatmeal.
Lunch: Hearty soup and sandwich, or salad with a fair-sized portion of meat and some fruit.
Dinner: Varies, but often chicken, some sort of steamed veggies and a large sweet potato.

NoelFigart

Yes, in No S parlance, snacks are a when, not a what. The "healthiness" of my meals vary. While I genuinely do love salads, I also love peanut butter sandwiches. I don't love them so much, or find them any sort of trigger to undesired behavior that I feel it's necessary to make them an S, so if I wa...

NoelFigart

It works because we humans are very lucky. We can choose our own conditioning (habit) and it's amazingly powerful. You condition yourself not to eat snacks and after awhile, it's just like... you don't think about it. It works both ways, though. If we condition ourselves that we have to have, oh, so...

NoelFigart

That's awesome. And you're right. I do go to a gym <hangs head in shame>, but I walk there. It's about a half a mile from my house and part of the route is along a small river. I love that part. There's ducks and it's really cool just how a mallard drake quacking can bring a grin to your face.

Actually, Reinhard, there's a limit to how many pages you can preview at a setting.

So, buying the book is still the best option.

While "Don't be an idiot" is absolutely sound advice, give yourself some slack. Seriously.

Oh, queenmom, one other idea about having quick to make food around: I sometimes freeze meals ahead -- soups, marinara sauce, lasagnas, etc. when I'm going to have a busy week and know I'm not going to want to cook when I get home.

NoelFigart

*grin* Yep.

The rules are:

No Sweets
No Snacks
No Seconds

(Except, sometimes, on days beginning with S).

C'est tout!

Get that habit sorted solidly out before you start micro-decisions about nutrition.

(Yes, my lunches are often still salads, but that's more because I LIKE salads).

As they've said, if it fits on a plate, it's "legal". I prefer real food. The problem with a lot of bars (you a weightlifter perchance?) is that many of them are glorified candy bars.
