Everyday Systems

Thank you for the suggestions. I read your reply several times. It is almost like you knew what I was thinking. I was getting a bit impatient. I will first tackle the N days to make sure I get it down firmly. In fact today I was close to eating sweets and snacks after dinner but stopped myself. I ha...

I think that is what happened to me in the past. At first, it would be just raw veggies for snack, very healthy. Then, I would add some yogurt, maybe some dried fruit. If I have nuts in the house, I would add that too. Then it would be difficult to stop :oops: Today at 5pm, I was hungry again but I ...

Day 6 - S day B: same as usual. Toast, scrambled egg, ham macaroni, coffee L: buffet. I ate too many desserts. Any strategies for buffet dining without going overboard? I could really use some advice. D: preserved egg and pork congee, rice noodles, lettuce, almonds, cherries, 1/2 banana, Greek yogur...

Has anyone experienced weight loss when you remove diet soda or artificial sweeteners from your diet? I read somewhere that sweeteners will only make you crave for more sweet food. Any truth to that? I used to drink a lot of diet soda and use sweetener for my coffee/tea. But zero calorie drinks did ...

I had satay beef macaroni, toast, egg and milk tea L: meatball casserole, blueberry muffin (the ones from Starbucks are my weakness) and coffee D: bread with cheese, fried eel, tomatoes, fresh apricot, strawberries with Greek yogurt and milk tea (a little piling acti...

My goal is to lose 10lbs. I had lost a lot of weight on Atkins but couldn't eat like that forever. I started eating carbs again and the weight is slowly creeping back. I really want to stop this weight gain before it gets out of hand. Hope NoS will normalize my eating habit. By nature, I am not a re...

Thanks for clarifying! I'll try to deal without the mid-afternoon snack but if I am really desperate, I will stick to milk. When I first came across NoS, I saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, a way to live with less stress and frustration. I had been yo-yo dieting for over 2 de...

6/25 - 1st day starting NoS. N day - success
6/26 - N day - success
6/27 - N day - success
6/28 - N day - failure (had some slices of cucumbers, bell pepper, milk at 4pm). Too hungry to wait until 7 for dinner.

Tomorrow is S day. I shall really enjoy it.

Hi. I'm new to NoS. Had 3 days of success but today at 4:30pm I had some slices of cucumbers and bell peppers and 1/2 cup of milk. Would that count as a snack? I don't have dinner until 7pm and felt so hungry around 4-5pm.
