I am back again after a bit of a hiatus which gave me opportunity to try every diet under the sun to varying degrees of success. Sometimes I would engage in multiple protocols in a single week flipping from low carb in the morning to every other day eating in the afternoon because of a carb binge. W...

Been meaning to check in. It's always something... Had to return home to Chicago in October because my dad fell ill. I was visiting him in the hospital and spending time with family. Everyone remarked how good I was looking and I shared the simple idea of no S. I was also thinking of you here on the...

was a little tough to get back on the wagon after returning from camping. reading some discussion helped. Give yourself big meals if needed. just get back to habit. also we moved at the end of september kind of abruptly. had to pack and move pretty quick so things were a bit chaotic. when are they n...

OK. back on track. went a little wild there for a while. well, while I was in the wild. Went back country camping in yellowstone and grand teton parks. Snacked had seconds and pretty much had sweets too whenever I could. We hiked over 55 miles in just over a week so calories were important and lots ...

I don't know why I've been having a difficult time lately. Guess the honeymoon is over and it's work from here on out...? Yesterday, almost threw in the towel. Maybe it's because NoS works? I've been losing weight, meeting goals that my inner self decides it's time to tinker? Not a good plan. Was tr...

Went "off the rails" on monday making it 3 S days in a row. Went red for NoS and for glass ceiling. Was a doozie. Figured I gained all my weight back in my anxiety driven mind. I think the fall-out was contained to some water weight and a few lbs. Oh well. Long haul truckin... got back to basics and...

Thanks eschano. Congrats to you for hitting the 21 club! Yesterday was a rough one. I had a new saddle on my bicycle at work which was akin to a medieval torture device. This put me in a horrible mood. I was so grumpy I could "kick puppies." I got the seat switched and that helped out but I was pret...

Things have been pretty good. Went out to eat with some friends and ordered a bunch of plates of food. Had a plate full and stopped. Meanwhile they kept pushing me to eat more and try new dishes. I said I was done and I was done. I was the only one to walk out of there feeling good and not uncomfort...

Had some news from the doctor Tuesday; he thinks I have a type of psoriasis. The crappy disease (is it a disease?-- in my case it's a literal pain in the ass) is in my mom's side of the family. I have always tried to get my mom to go gluten free because all of the research that I have done (being a ...

My wife says she loves NoS because there is ice cream in the fridge when she wants it. I used to be horrible ever since I was a kid. I remember waiting for my mom to FINALLY leave the house so I could binge on the neopolitan. Even recently I would buy a pint and it would be gone in a day. Since NoS,...

I'm a 21 clubber!!! Tried NoS before but never made it this far. loved the wisdom but crashed in practice. Now flying high! lost @ 10lbs in 4 weeks (to believe my evil scale). Can't believe how much I used to snack! So I plan to stick to this diet for another 60 years or so :lol: I hope! My S days f...

Thanks eschano and Amy for the encouragement. I have tried the NoS diet once before but have never done this well. I'm pretty sure that I never made it to the 21 club. Now I'm not having as much of a problem. I think it has to do with the strictness. Plus a few things really clicked for me this time...

Weigh-in was friday before double s day and was too nervous to get on the scale monday. figure i'll go another 3 weeks, and get on the scal...

I do a lot of hiking walking and biking but craving running lately. Maybe cause it's so popular and I see it everywhere. Maybe cause it's so natural? Think i'll start running when I get closer to ideal weight so there is less stress on joints. Just went for a swim (maybe it's olympic fever, maybe it...

Made my second week all green! Pants are starting to feel a bit loose on me too which is really nice. I think it's been helping that I've been cooking a lot of my own food since my wife is busy and I'm saving money by not eating out. When I cook it doesn't taste that great so I'm eating less. The cr...

Addictive Voice
If anyone has that devil on their shoulder giving them thousands of reasons why they should have a snack or a second helping of something, then you are experiencing the addictive voice. This is something that I discovered when I quit drinking alcohol. It's a technique called AVRT. Addictive voice re...

Thanks Tuk. Managed to stay green for the entire week. Had a near miss on friday when I visited my wife at work. She works at a restaurant and the kitchen sent me out a bowl of soup because I had been working outside in the cold and rain all day. (yes it's 100 degrees everywhere but seattle). Well, ...

Hi Tuk!. Yeah Cottage Cheese was whole milk. And not homemade. My local grocery had some organic valley cottage cheese marked down to 99cents as it was to expire soon so I bought about 6 of them. They retail for $4 each, so big bargain. Even after the date they taste fine. Probably because they cult...

Day 2 Success . Was normal work schedule. Amazed at how much money I can save with no snacks. Skipped snacks all day and kept the money in my wallet. Had some milk at work, mostly out of fear that I would be too hungry. Oh No! and everything worked out ok. Dinner was a minor bust of potatoes and cot...

Day 1. Success . Did pretty well with some Funny business. Had a lemonade but it was during a 30 mile bike ride so it gets a pass. I didn't have any cookie (my demon) that was offered. And for dinner we met friends for the impossible one plate meal : sushi. I probably ate more than one plate... more...
