Wow, so many different ideas. It's good to know that there is support out there. I believe in the simplicity of No S. It makes so much sense that a "dessert" should be "deserved" and not a staple food for everyday consumption. I also like the idea that snacking is an historically recent phenomenon a...

Ruthie71

That sounds like a good idea. Will check it out. Thank you

I am a comfort eater. I have tried this diet for 8 years now and can't get past the three day mark. Is it time to give up and work on my emotional eating issues instead. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm stressed, when I am tired, when I am procrastinating and when I "fail" on the No S ie "What the hel...

Hi Everyone! Do you have those Nestle instant Capuccino sachets where you live? They have coffee, milk, a little bit of sugar, and a few other added ingredients to preserve and make them froth up. Clean Eating (not). They contain 50 calories. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance R

Ruthie71

Thank you for all your responses to my original post "Still Hoping to Succeed". I appreciate it

Ruthie71

Hello everyone, I am a NoS failure as I can't stand being hungry. I've been trying it of 6 years now. By 11.00 am, I tell myself that I really need another diet, or intuitive eating, as I can't stand the feeling of being hungry and still having work to do before lunch. I also comfort eat, being a st...

Ruthie71

I have tried for years to do NoS, only to be de-railed by the "11.00 am Hunger," as I call it. There is a diet called the "Change One" in which dieters gradually reduce calorie intake over a period of 4 weeks, starting with breakfast, then lunch, dinner etc. I liked the idea of this because you are ...

Ruthie71

Thank you so much. I have failed again- I am grumpy and feel like a zombie. It would be awesome to get 21 days of success in a row. Monday I will try again and use the daily check in. Thanks for your encouraging words x

Ruthie71

Hi. I am hoping that if I announce my attempt at no s that I will commit. I have a few obstacles. I have been steadily gaining weight since 2001, putting on a total of 2 stone I have 3 children aged 5 months, 3 and 5. They are gorgeous but full on. I am stressed all the time, trying to get things do...

Ruthie71

Cool!!

Ruthie71

Hi. Last night I had a glass of milk with one teaspoon of instant coffee and one teaspoon of sugar. Would this be classified as as S? I figure it's the same as a latte, only cold. Any thoughts?

Ruthie71

Thanks for replies. I guess my biggest concern will be the hunger, more often than not caused by fatigue. This is going to be my third child and is due in May.

Ruthie71

Hi. Has anyone ever done NoS while breastfeeding a baby? Or is it a better idea to put some mods in place e.g. 4 meals a day? There is a worry that milk supply will be low if not enough food is eaten.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I have failed. A few Easter eggs have given me some energy to keep going. I am not giving up though. Household tasks are so dull and chocolate makes things appear so much easier. I need to learn from this, somehow. Looking after little people is so hard at times. I will get that serenity prayer and ...

Ruthie71

Thank you Oolala53 and NoSnacker. With your inspiring words I have completed a successful N Day (big plates but still only 3!). I have printed the Serenity Prayer. Thank you again

Ruthie71

I have failed at Nos now about 600 times. My three enemies are stress, hunger and fatigue. All of these cause me to turn to food. Here I am, borderline overweight. I just can't bear the idea of going to diet prison. Nos seems the least stressful to do. Let's see if I can do a nine day challenge befo...

Ruthie71

Thank you! I ended up failing. January is red and yellow. One day.....

Ruthie71

Is it a bit lame to start a 21 day challenge on a Friday? I am yet to complete more than a week of success at this stage. Still at the top of healthy weight range and need a push in the right direction. A massage awaits me if I become a 21 Day Club member!!!!!!

Ruthie71

Are pancakes necessarily an S? What if there is no choice and I can't refuse as the whole family wants them. What if I place a limit on how many I consume?

Ruthie71

Ah I see. This has been in the pipeline for a while now by the looks of things. I can't wait till it's available. Maybe I will stick to NoS then

Maybe I have to stop making excuses too!

Ruthie71

Or there could be a food diary with a space to mark red, yellow or green at the end of each day. Sorry, I am getting carried away here. I treat my iPhone like my second brain! R

Ruthie71

Yes, Habitcal would be great as an IPhone app. You could also have little messages which appear from time to time to motivate you, eg if you just completed a month of Vanilla No-S. A weight loss graph would also be great. Anyway, that's my dream

Ruthie71

Hello folks. A nos iPhone app would be awesome. I wish I was smart enough to create one

Ruthie71

I have tried No S for a year or so and still can't do more than one successful N Day in a row. I find my two toddlers' demands and my fatigue drives me to eat bread with Nutella and peanut butter around 11.30 a.m. I am tired! I have always been a comfort eater. I am possibly doomed here. Still, I ke...

Ruthie71

Wow, thanks! This is really helpful. This week has been an S week due to a cold. I really want to make nos a part of my life and the positive messages have helped.

Ruthie71

Thank you. Life's pretty tough at the moment as I have a one year old who can't walk yet and a three year old. We have no help and can't afford babysitters etc. Consequently I don't get a break. So I eat as it is an escape, always has been. I just feel like I struggle through every day. Walking make...

Ruthie71

I can't do any strength training due to chronic back pain. Will nos work? I plan to see a doctor and physiotherapist next week. Urban Ranger is still possible. I am fed up with trying to exercise and getting stopped in my tracks by pain. Then I medicate stress and pain with food

Ruthie71

I will succeed. Next week will be the week!

Ruthie71

I have decided, after many binges, that at this phase of my life, I will "Half S" . I agree in principle with No S but I really am not prepared to retrain my body boot camp- style to need to be fed only 3 times a day. I believe that as I am a nursing mother, I need to eat when I am genuinely hungry....

Ruthie71

Unbelievable- Success! Day 1 of the 21 Day Challenge is complete. Having a milky coffee mid morning really helped. On Wednesday I don't have access to that. I would prefer to learn 3, not 4 meals per day but if it gets too hard, I might. Thank you,R

Ruthie71

Well I blew it on Day 1 and the same old pattern continues

Ruthie71

I have failed again.

Ruthie71

Awesome encouragement. Thank you so much. A latte mid morning worked wonders. I did my back in at the library - lol! Lifting babies, strollers etc. So the exercise will have to suffer a setback of a few days but that is not an excuse to embark upon the "all or nothing" approach. Have a good one. R

Ruthie71

I had just about given up on NoS. I get so bloody hungry at around 11.00 a.m. I am a stay at home mum dealing with a lot of issues. Food is my soother. This, plus the fact I am so hungry has meant EPIC FAIL every time I have tried Day 1. I am also breastfeeding which is lovely but exhausting. I had ...

Ruthie71

I started Nos for the umpteenth time yesterday and failed today. I have 2 young children and I eat when stressed and tired. I had a small piece of slice after dinner. I will start again now but start counting my 21 days tomorrow. I want to weigh 54 kilos (8 stone 7) but now weigh 62 (137 pounds). I ...
