I did not resort to chocolate though, to make me ...

Glad you're feeling the difference by cutting out sugar - that must really help motivation.

Yes it does! Also having the safety valve of S days makes me feel not too deprived.

Today, Monday, is day 14. 2 weeks of successful NO S! Over the weekend I finished off my sweet trail mix and vowed not to buy any more. I also finished off some coconut ice cream in my freezer. For my treat, I bought a scone and a cookie from a bakery, and ate them with great gusto! Today I ate: - s...

Day 11 (Friday) was a success, although I was eating dinner with friends who were running late, and I had to have a banana to hold me over and quench my hunger pains and grouchiness. I ate: - scrambled eggs with toast and spinach - a chicken sandwich and tater tots - banana - burrito bowl, chips, gu...

Day 10 a success, although I had dreadful sugar cravings. It made me wonder what being an alcoholic or drug addict was like! I'm very happy that more than 20 years ago I adopted a 2-drink maximum (even before I knew about Reinhard's Glass Ceiling) and have stuck to it religiously. Too many alcoholic...

I'd definitely call that a win, the more moments like this you succeed at the easier it becomes. Well done

Thanks! I aksed my dental hygenist if she let her kids eat sugar and she looked very guilty and tried not to answer!

Day 9 successful but it was a big struggle. I went to the dentist this morning. My dentist is near a fantastic bakery, so I usually get a treat from the bakery after the dentist. I wanted to get a treat today - I would declare today an S day, because dentist has an S in it, and I only go twice a yea...

Keep on keepin' on, Gyosho! You are really finding your stride!

Thanks, automatedeating. I appreciate the encouragement!

Day 8 successful. Today I ate: - A tortilla with eggs, bacon, spinach and salsa. A side of melon. - A big salad. A TJs Mahi Mahi burger on sandwich bread. A few tortilla chips. - Chicken and tater tots. A spoon of peanut butter for dessert. I am enjoying actually feeling hungry and looking forward t...

Weight 142. Day 7 Successful. (Days 5 and 6 were Saturday and Sunday, so I successfully ate a lot of sugar and felt kind of disgusted with myself). Today I ate: - oats with a fresh summer peach on top, with walnuts and cinnamon - a big salad for lunch with a spoon of peanut butter for dessert - a ba...

Sorry about the frustrating zoom meeting! I have had that happen many times this year. :-( Also, I wanted to encourage you to consider entering what you PLAN to eat in the morning; then you can edit in the evening if needed but it helps me immensely to consider in the morning how I will eat through...

Day 4 Successful. Today I ate: - a hard boiled egg and a banana - a tortilla with hummus, chicken, spinach, and some french fries - a mahi mahi burger on sandwich bread and the other half of my TJs yellow curry salad, with chickpeas and tomatoes added I had the crazy idea that I am doing "intermitte...

Hi Gyosho - A lot of people start with a built-in 4th meal if they find they are often derailed going down to just 3 meals a day. I think it can work well in the beginning as long as it officially part of your daily plan. Yes that sounds like a good idea. I'm doing ok so far with 3 - aiming for at ...

I'm going to change my daily check-in to the evening instead of the morning, because it will be easier for me to remember the details of what I ate. Today (Day 3) I ate: - oats with blueberries, mango, walnuts and cinnamon - a tortilla with hummus, chicken and spinach. Tortilla chips on the side - h...

Day 2 was successful. My body freaked out at 10 am when it realized it wasn't going to get its usual sweet snack, but I promised it french fries at lunch. I ate: - oats with blueberries, peaches, walnuts, cinnamon - chicken and french fries, a spoon of peanut butter for dessert - tortilla with egg s...

Day 1 was successful. I felt very virtuous as I packed up my sugary trail mix and put it in a drawer to save for Saturday. Yesterday I ate: - oats with peaches, blueberries, walnuts and cinnamon - a salad with romaine, chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms and onions, eggplant hummus, and tortilla chip...

Hi Everyone, Today is day 1 of my check-in. I weigh 144 pounds. I am returning to the No S Diet because my sugar and snacking habits have gotten out of control! I did the Whole 30 diet which was very useful because it showed me I have a dairy allergy, but once off Whole 30, even though now happily d...

Success on Tuesday! Even though work was very stressful and I CRAVED sugar. I did have some fruit juice.

Success! Even though I had a very garlicky restaurant lunch which gives me horrible sugar cravings. I just brushed my teeth more.

Starting No-S! Goals are:
- Lose that stubborn 5 pounds of excess weight on my thighs (icky!)
- Stop eating SO MUCH SUGAR

Starting weight: 154
Yesterday's sugar intake: very large peanut butter cookie, 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips ( my major source of sugar )

Just want to say that I fell off the No-S diet bandwagon for the lure of low-carb, but it made me miserable! I have since returned to a modified version of No-S, which incorporates intermittent fasting. My diet is: breakfast - hemp protein and soy milk (hemp protein has tons of fiber, which keeps me...

I've been doing Shovelglove 5 days a week for a month now, and even with the lightest of sledgehammers (6 pounds) I have developed incredible abs! That spare tire I've carried around for 20 years is finally gone.

Better even than a Jillian Michaels DVD.

Inspired by Reinhard's No S Diet and also by his desire to exercise standing up like a human being, not grovelling on the floor, I bought a 6 lb sledgehammer on Saturday and began Shovelgloving. I love it! I was sweating in 5 minutes! It felt great! My question has to do with the speed of the moveme...

Hi, I've been on the No S Diet for 6 weeks, and today was able to tuck my shirt back into my jeans - something I have not been able to do for 7 years! When I told a friend about the diet, and how you predicted .5 lb a week weight loss, my friend said, "Well, that's how you put it on." So true! I've ...
