Sugar is definitely a really big temptation. I made it 3 out of the 5 days (tuesday and then friday when i was sick so maybe i should say i made it 3 out of the 4 days?) So I'm going to try again this week. tuesday and wednesday will be my hard days because tuesday i see my small group and wednesday...

Thank you for the advice oolala! I just have to be able to say "no." Monday was successful for me, and it wasn't hard (i turned down both free cookies and donuts really easily), but Tuesday didn't go very well - i made it almost the whole day and then I went to grab groceries after dinner with a fri...

I'm back at college - a month in - and all the work i put into no-s over the summer is going to the dogs. Sweets are the problem - literally all the events i go to cookies are being served with ice cream. Someone in my group of friends always seems to have baked or something. It is bad and I have a ...

After a pretty successful stint at no-s during lent earlier this year, i found myself slipping post Easter and decided to build a g...

oolala53, you are definitely right in saying that this generation does not know how to eat. food, "s" food, is around everywhere and it can be difficult to forgo that temptation, especially when social gatherings are centered around grabbing starbucks, ice cream or smoothies that have very little ac...

Hi all! I'm a somewhat new NoS-er who absolutely loves the concepts of this diet. However, I am also a college student, and living in college and NoS is not an easy feat (honestly, NoS is hard enough on its own!) Some background: I lost about 25 pounds 4 years ago in high school. Had a great weight,...
