I also stopped weighing myself every day, because in my case the reading seems to fluctuate in a +/- 3lb range. Even though I know in my head to look at the trend rather than the daily reading, it can be dispiriting to see that you've "gained" 4lb in a day or two. Somehow this is worse than the equa...

Re: A Polish fan of the No S diet
Welcome! I just wanted to say that your English is excellent. Better than many native speakers. I wish I had that command of a second language.yuka wrote:Please forgive me my mistakes here and there, I’m sure there are some, as Im not a native English speaker.

One thing that Reinhard's "Fourteen minutes of anything " approach has taught me is to not worry about progress, about getting better or faster at whatever the exercise is. A while back I tried the popular Couch-to-5K running programme, which was great, but it did suck me into the mindset of "must c...

There may be an easier way of doing it, but you can find someone's user ID by hovering over their Profile button, and then plug it into the URL of the public view of your own Habitcal. I don't think there's anything naughty about this, because Reinhard makes it perfectly clear that Habitcal informat...

You could write a book just on diet mythology. Starvation mode is one of those myths. There is a grain of truth in it - on *severely* restricted calorie intake (like, 800 calories a day), sustained over a period of some days, people do tend to become lethargic, which in itself means that their metab...

FWIW, I finally got round to adding some weight to my trusty 10-pound shovelglove. I got a 1kg (2lb) diving weight and lashed it to the side before rewrapping. I didn't think it it would make that much difference, but boy was I wrong. The thing feels *much* heavier. I've just finished my routine and...

It never crossed my mind to consider sauces as seconds, but then I am so uncouth that I actually put any salt, pepper and condiments on the plate before eating. I suppose if you go absolutely crazy and put half a pint of ketchup or mayo or whatever on the plate that would be an issue. Yes, some sauc...

Interesting calculations, Steve. It is quite surprising how much difference a few inches of diameter make. It's that square in it. -- pi.r^2. It gets big, fast. Indeed. In fact, you don't really have to worry about pi -- just observe that 7 squared is 49 while 10 squared is 100, so a 10-inch plate i...

If this is one of the diets we're talking about, it does sound an awful lot like No-S: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/dietandfitness/3352812/Team-Telegraph-No-Crave-Diet-Day-1.html It does take a lot more words to say it than "no snacks, no sweets, no seconds, except on S-days", but to be fair it...

The "frequent small meals" approach has never appealed to me. I find that it keeps my appetite too stimulated, and I'm always thinking about the next snack or mini-meal. And that's the other thing - the meals are inevitably frustratingly small. With just three meals a day, or even two, they can be n...

I think the "don't skip breakfast " thing is supposed to be interpreted as "don't make yourself excessively hungry" (and possibly also tied into the completely bogus "kickstart your metabolism" idea). But if you're not hungry until, say, five hours after you get up, I see absolutely no point in maki...

When I first started experimenting with a No-S-like approach a couple of months back, I thought there was no way I could do just three meals a day and go without a late-evening snack, because that would mean maybe fourteen hours between dinner and breakfast! So for a while I went with three-meals-an...

I'm a reasonably big and strong guy, and I started with a 10-pounder. At first I thought it might be a little light, but not after a few days of swinging it around for 14 minutes. I'm surprised that this small amount of exercise, about 4 times a week, has led to noticeable (although modest) muscle d...
