Everyday Systems

So I have a NoS diet business card printed out and in my wallet. I passed by the book section. The orange cover of "the abs diet" caught my eye as did "french women don't get fat. The wheels in my head turned a little. I whipped the cart around and found my business card. I layed it in front of the...

So, while we are discussing the extra-meals-are-not-cheating concept... What about 2nd breakfasts and elevensies? PS - ...what movie am I psuedo-quoting? I know that what I am now doing is technically cheating but it is something I had to do. Every morning around 10 am I meet a friend at the local ...

Successful day including 30 minute walk and gym workout

Not listing day numbers anymore:

success, 30 minute walk

Day 16: Success. Walked 30 minutes again. Man, did I need this. My legs are so sore.

Day 15: Good day! Also, I decided to get off my fat derrieire and add in some much needed excercise. The wife has booked us for a Mexico beach vacation in May and I don't want to look like a beached whale. So I walked 30 minutes and also went to the gym and pumped a little iron. Intend on trying to ...

Day 12: success
Day 13/14: Sdays

Day 11:

Day 10: Good

Days 8 & 9: Success

Day 6: S day Day 7: S day Today had a nice meal at the 99 restaurant. They have these $11.99 bistro meals where the menu has 3 different appetizers, 3 different entrees and 3 different desserts and you mix and match. I had: Corn and chicken chowder Pork chop with veggies Brownie sundae(not too big) ...

Day 5: Success. As I'm writing it's Saturday and my goal this weekend is to have 2 sensible S days.

Day 4: Success, night snack craving waning

Day 3: Success

Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic?

Lol, Just yanking your chain. I think most people here have tried every diet known to mankind.

Day2: Success. Had a little twinge craving for a snack a couple of hours after supper because of the prior cheating but fought it off okay.

Been doing this for about 5 months. Was perfect at first, then after the holidays, little cheats began sneaking in so to get my mind right I'm going to check -in daily. Day 1-yesterday: partial success, I finished the last few of my wife's tostitos after supper. See what I mean about little cheats. ...

With Thanksgiving coming up next week that will be a definite S day mid week does anyone think it would be a good idea to forgo the S days this weekend.

Not having to count calories is so liberating! But, I have to admit, I find myself counting them up anyway, more often than I'd like. What a weird habit to break--I didn't even know that I counted them up so often :!: Just so I'm not misunderstood, I don't count calories at all. The formula is just...

I'm a newbie here too, about 7 weeks into it but I couldn't be more pleased with my results so I'll give you my two cents. When I first started I read a few posts from long time No essers who had lost significant amounts over the period of one year or more. I used this as my motivation. Try and go b...

From what I understand is that there is no maintenance plan, this is it forever. And that is the beauty of it, I think.

This simple formula is why Nos is the best eating plan(I am very reluctant to call it a diet) I've ever tried. X = Number of calories cut each day Y = Number of days cutting calories Z = Pounds lost On every diet I've ever been on, I usually have some early success but eventually over the long term ...

Don't worry about it at all. Your first s days will tend to be out of control. As you get into the habit of eating right on a bunch of weeks in a row of N days the S days get real easy. Even though today is an S day, i'm eating normal just like it was an N day except I allowed myself a muffin at cof...

Yesterday I played in a poker tournament at Foxwoods. I made it deep into the tourney so they gave us a dinner break of 1 hour. I had planned on taking my wife to the Cedars Steak House but I was afraid that there was no way we could get seated and eat within the hour. So we opted for the Festival B...

Past years I've had some good Haloweens and some real bad ones but even the years of good ones it was a struggle on monumental proportions to resist. My wife always overbuys on the candy and this year was no exception. Target had a sale on full sized candy bars, all the good brands, and she bought 9...

I'm a newbie(closing in on 21 days) but I think I'm already understanding the habit vs willpower concept. Last week I told you about the poker game and how although tempted by all the great snacks etc, I resisted them completely. But it took a little willpower. This week, only 7 days later, we got t...

I'm a life long daily weigh-iner. But I'm feeling this is not the right thing to do with No S. Like this morning, I was up .5 lbs after 3 good No S days and it got me a little pissed. Of course this is just stupid, because the damn scale isn't even that accurate. So, how often should I weigh in? I'm...

I've got just one.

I want to get to the point where I'm not obsessed about my weight and what I eat.

That's why I think No S might be perfect for me.

Last night a friend had a poker tournament at his place and I was invited. Whenever he has these things there is tons of food, all kinds of snacks etc. I love poker and almost never turn down a chance to play but immediately I thought about the temptation of all that food. But I reasoned with myself...

This is probably too obvious, but why not try to get your daughter to practice No S. I have 5 cousins, my mother's sisters children, who when they were growing up were not allowed to eat in between meals. This came from their father who was super strict. They could eat as much as they wanted at meal...

I found No S by accident last week in my poker forum. No S is actually something that I sort of did many years ago on my own and was successful with it so I'm excited that it's sort of formalized now which will be good for me since it gives me more structure something I need. I'm not grossly overwei...

I'm pretty sure these are for low carbers and they tell you if you are in ketosis, something that should not happen if you're eating normally.
