Everyday Systems

Sunday I ended up more "permasnacking" just because I could. And I realised, for the 1000th time, how unsatisfying I find it. Never being really hungry for a meal, and never really eating a meal, felt really wrong. I'm happy to be back to normal on Monday. I remember this feeling from when I first ...

Congratulations and thank you for the impressive photographic evidence! (Glad you figured out the upload!) We're on #3 baby as well so I know what an added challenge those darling little creatures pose to sane eating. I always finding it gratifying when people with impressive numbers and other visi...

Hello all! I just wanted to toot my horn here ... started No S last year on June 26th after a friend recommended it to me. I was literally eating a graham cracker (after breakfast) while reading the message she sent me about this life-changing lifestyle, and I thought "Okay, that's it: I'm starting ...

Two brain-hacks I've started using on my S days: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08/opinion/sunday/dont-indulge-be-happy.html?pagewanted=all http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120710093802.htm I really like both articles, hope you'll find them useful as well. They nicely sum up the ideas w...

I tried "overindulging" at a birthday barbecue we had (for me!) last Sunday (a week ago). I had "a few" chips and salsa and "a couple" bites of veggies with ranch dip and what-not ... and then had a cupcake, and then a cookie ... I was so poisoned/sick I was ill the entire next day and didn't experi...

*raises hand* Me! Been doing varying lowcarb diets for years with success ... until I got tired of it, wanted pasta, and then the WTH effect happened and so did the weight gain ... I did Paleo to lose babyweight with my 2nd child, and tried again to lose after I had my 3rd in March ... but it was ju...

I'm doing what works for me, and -- well -- it's working. :) Congratulations, I'm happy to hear you've arrived at a plan that is working for you. :D Thank you! I used to be a personal trainer and have studied nutrition and advised it to others. "Lots of protein and veggies, lowfat dairy, count calo...

I believe that is what I'm doing. I'm doing what works for me, and -- well -- it's working.

Our plates are HUGE. So even the salad plates are pretty big (probably a "normal" size dinner plate) ... so I always use those. Been No-sing for 2 weeks now and have gone from 180 to 162 this morning (I am not kidding -- I'm also nursing a 4 month old baby and I started walking -- last week, I did 1...

I did lowcarb off and on since 2001. First with Carbohydrate Addict's Diet and lost 20 lbs ... it crept back on (I was 23). Then did Paleo off and on to lose weight quickly, but just couldn't maintain it. A girlfriend told me about this site and I'm down 8 lbs in 10 days. (I was 173 and was 164 this...
