well i stumbled on the bill clinton interview with wolf blitzer in which wolf asks bill about his new diet....well bill lost 24 lbs going vegan....and he went vegan because his arteries were starting to clog up again... anyway its a fascinating interview and he mentions two doctors --dean ornish and...

congratulations to you!!

holding steady at around 170 down from 176 when i started on march 20th. i was a little less than strict at meals this week---reached for a few seconds when i shouldnt have...that said i'm going to tighten my resolve in the days ahead...im shooting for moderate s days this weekend...and then doing h...

Mrandy1

Totally impressive!

Mrandy1

that's fantastic! & very motivating!

slowly but surely this NO S diet brings very powerful life-lasting results!

it is a simple yet brilliant system!

Mrandy1

way to go!

Mrandy1

happy its an N day!

Mrandy1

That's fantastic!

Sweets & treats are much better on an S day

Mrandy1

S day today - keeping it mellow though.

No s vanilla reigns

Mrandy1

treated both seders as S days---so had three S days in a row.

no problem

started no s 32 days ago- down 6 lbs. a couple of blips along the way, but the trend is down.

my goal remains wherever NO S leads me---in my head that # is 165, but i'm interested to see where my weight naturally lands.

Mrandy1

Calling today an N day as Passover is 2 s days

Loving no s!

Simply Brilliant

Mrandy1

I think of NO S as a grand experiment I'm conducting on myself---so I weigh myself at least once a week and enter the results...Im interested in the trend...I had an "uptick" this week and that just hardened my resolve to keep on with the program...I'm convinced this is the best way for life long ma...

Tuesday 4.12. Success

Mrandy1

Have a v8! (preferably the low sodium one)

I'm sort of enjoying late afternoon hunger pangs!---I feel like I'm beating the urge! same as when I quit smoking, while difficult I loved overcoming the urge to smoke--(now smoke free 1653 days)

Mrandy1

Tuesday- 4.12. Feeling good - doing vanilla no s full steam

Mrandy1

Thanks!

Monday - success!

Vanilla no s is my mantra.

Mrandy1

Hunger pang What I've noticed is that by eating 3 meals a day with nothing in between, I'm getting good old fashioned hungry pangs that are becoming quite manageable----hmm maybe snacking used to mask those pangs, and atthe same time did nothing to diminish what I'd eat at any particular meal. Anywa...

Mrandy1

Hey Jocelyn, I think no s is a great way for you to modify certain feelings (like extreme guilt) or obsessive behaviors like muliple daily weigh ins--the system itself promotes great habits that can improve not only our emotional well being as well as change habits we don't like--- that's what no s ...

Feels great to get back to the structure of an N day!

Today I begin the 4th week

I had one failure which was rather instructive.

I'm down 6.2 lbs since 3/20/11

Mrandy1

i've had no false starts on no s. its the ist diet that is really quite enjoyable...as the week progresses i start looking forward to having an s day, and this past week in particular i was determined, as i said to my son yesterday, to practice extreme moderation even on an s day---which simply mean...

Mrandy1

enjoyed yesterday--not too crazy but i had an extra drink and some small chocolate wafer bars ---its fun to indulge, but i wasnt over the top i am down 6.2lbs since march 20th. i've told my kids i'm conducting as experiment on myself and they've gotten into the the whole no s approach. so i'm not su...

Reached for a few extra pieces of duck at last nite's family dinner. Not a terrible failure but a failure nonetheless---but I do have a strategy in place for next week!--- it was a Friday night family dinner w my in laws...and it was a "shabbat" dinner and quite a feast!---next week I'll simply have...

S days were ok but time to rein it in!

Mrandy1

I did all right yesterday But the snacking wasn't all that satisfying--- a few Oreos, a few pretzels, and a few chips---was happy to know I could have them, but after I ate them I felt like they were a waste! Strange! Today's s day will probably be a but more moderate, although yesterday really was ...

Still 100% motivated

March 28 - n day - success

Mrandy1

something very soothing about getting back to an n day. My s days were pretty mellow extremes--even the bday party I went to I didnt get too crazy and I enjoyed the freedom to have seconds & thirds of baked ziti! ---skipped on the bday cake, but had a bunch of m&m's! Anyway back to N! Totally psyched.

Mrandy1

S day - mellow and under control

Enjoyed a bagel with creme cheese for breakfast & 1 slice of pizza for lunch

Mrandy1

Keep up the great work!

Mrandy1

S day

Last nite - had seconds & thirds of baked ziti--- and was munching on some m&ms at the bday party I went to. Not too bad though and I had a good time.

today I'll prob just have 3 plates..& nothing too extreme

Feeling good!

Love No-s!

Mrandy1

Having a very nice s day! Nothing too wild yet, but the night is young! I went out and bought a 10pound sledgehammer today!---did my 14 minutes dancing around my basement with that heavy thing! Anyway off to a birthday party---where I intend to stay cool!---I think I'll have a martini!---I know that...

In the spirit of this diet.....

I recently read an old stephen king novel called Thinner ( he may have written it under the pseudonym Richard Bachman)

It was great!!!!! - in my very humble opinion!

Mrandy1

Shabbat shalom!

I'm doing vanilla no s---loving it and just wanted to say hello!

Mrandy1

I think it's plain dumb- my humble opinion.

What's gonna happen when they start eating more than 500 calories again?

Mrandy1

Well today's an S day----so enjoy it but before you eat whatever you are gonna eat perhaps just ask yourself "ok I'm allowed to have this...but do I really want it?"---I'm very new to this whole thing, but what I'm gonna try to do today is enjoy the feeling of knowing I can do whatever I want, but w...

Looking forward to a moderate yet rewarding s day.

Success - thus ends my ist 5 n days. It's really fascinating building this habit of 3 meals a day with no sweets, no snacks, and no seconds. Friday night is usually a big meal in our house, so what I did tonight was "build" my plate with what I wanted to be my complete meal. When I finished my plate...

Mrandy1

Thanks to all of you---today was a success and your replies to my post were incredibly helpful!! thanks again!

Mrandy1

1 had one scotch. That's it.

Dinner will be shortly which will be one plate.

Mrandy1

Does no S vanilla include 2 drinks (alcoholic) a day?

Mrandy1

i advertaintly posted the same reply twice---is there anyway to delete a post?

Mrandy1

Thanks! I don't even feel like I'm being deprived---and I like the feeling on an s day getting closer and closer as the week progresses. The biggest change has been giving up the snacking that always do--(pretzels, nuts, cookies --and it's just impossible to keep track of that sort of stuff)..plus h...

So this is day 6 for me--so it's all new. I'm at my regular morning diner and I ordered Scrambled eggs, home fried potatoes, whole wheat toast It all fits on one plate. It doesn't look excessive to my eye. Yet I felt guilty today finishing the potatoes. Should I feel guilty? I'm trying to do NO-S by...

Hello all - I'm Andy from NYC and stumbled on no s when I was googling about "no snack" diets. I had successfully gotten down to 165 from 180 a few years ago thru rigorous exercise and strictly watching what I was eating and then last sept i just started snacking again (pretzels chips cookies ) all ...

Well today shd be interesting!--I'm in a diner and i ordered scrambled eggs, toast no butter --so the plate comes and it's scrambled eggs, toast-no butter, and home fried potatoes. So it's on the plate and it's 1 plate so I ate it! I'm sticking with the 1 plate per meal rule even if it means indulgi...

Day 3 comes to a close and was a success.

Onward to day 4!

S days getting closer!

Mrandy1

Here we go day 3

Breakfast - oatmeal at macdonalds!--it happens to be great! And a coffee w milk.

Breakfast and lunch are not the problem---it's the snacking ---but I'm very excited that s days are only 4 days away.

I love this!!

Mrandy1

Well day 2 is a success. Even though I'm hungry right now...I'm going to avoid the 6 double stuffed Oreos and wait until Saturday for a treat of that nature...last week I walked for 60 minutes on my treadmill and then promptly had a glass of chocolate soy milk and 6 double stuffed Oreos. I am done w...

I had gotten down to 165 from an all time high of 180...and stayed around 165 for about a year and a half....then last September I started falling off the wagon by snacking....and over the space of about 3 months I regained 10 pounds. I just stumbled on the No S website yesterday when I was googling...
