Everyday Systems

I've had issues with blood sugar spikes and drops (confirmed with glucometer); I'm still figuring out what 'normal foods' keep me on an even keel and which don't. When you get the jitters and feel weak it's hard to hold off til the next meal!

I'm curious as to how many who have added mods that allow for exceptions, e.g. sweets on No S days, unlimited portions, extra meals, have lost weight and kept it off? In other words have you had more or less success with weight loss after having added your mods for exceptions?

Deb, I've had some similar problems, although not because of a death in the family. I know it's three years late, but my condolences nevertheless. I've had some health problems too, but like you I'm looking at better days ahead. About climbing a flight of stairs, my comment was a little tongue in ch...

Great intro Stack, and welcome to the forums! I like what you said here: "A particular food is neither inherently good nor bad, but is appropriate or inappropriate based on context. A weekend treat is appropriate. Scarfing down a box of processed Little Debbie snack cakes on a random Tuesday night i...

Hi Deb! I was wondering if you were still on the forums. Sounds like we have had a similar journey, although I guess it is really one that is familar to all dieters. It's good to know you have lost the weight again though, that's great! I was really surprised when I came back to the forums and read ...

Thanks oolala! Great user name, btw. :D Yeah, there isn't really anything else out there, at least not that is realistic for me. I know I'm not going to stick to a specialty diet that eliminates bread or cheese or *gasp* bacon. I used to follow the 'Warrior diet' but I began missing out on lunch wit...

Thank you, it's good to be back. I need No S more than ever, I think I am at the heaviest I've ever been! lol Wow Reinhard, the 'storm the castle' and everything are still there? That's great I hope some one was able to find them useful and fun. I need to revisit the Shovelglove page and reboot that...

Five years late, but I'm back! I used to post here as 'Samurai' back in the day. I see that Reinhard has taken No S to new heights! Congrats Reinhard!

Five years late, but I'm back! I'll be posting under this handle here and in the Discussion Forum. So far so good, I'm on Day 2 of No S and I've had no problems whatsoever sticking to the diet. But maybe that's because I started on a Saturday? Well the longest journey doesn't start with the first st...
