I haven't checked the shovelglove site in a year probably (because I've been a supersloth, as usual, lifting only books and coffee), but I really want to be reasonably strong, and lo and behold, my skillet idea is alive. I'm taking it as a sign that I need to pick up Shovelglove on my N Days (but w...

Oh, lord, sister friend! This just breaks my heart. We've all been there. I was especially pained by the phrase "mandatory exercise." That sounds awful. Please, be kinder to yourself. I think you need to focus on your stress. Stress hormones increase appetite and fat storage, so I don't think you're...

Okay, I started with a cast iron skillet yesterday. This morning I skipped because of soreness, even though as I was doing it yesterday morning I kept thinking that I wasn't getting any kind of workout. When you all started, did you just do it every day despite soreness, or was anyone more gradual? ...

Some time ago Dorie Greenspan published a recipe for some little almond cakes that were naturally gluten free. One of the people who commented said that the best gluten-free recipes were those that were naturally gluten-free. I agree. No matter what substance is being avoided, the best recipes are ...

... I'm not a "low-carber", however, I have experimented with Low-carb eating and am familiar with a great many low-carb recipes, some of which are on those websites. I've found many of them to be quite tasty... *shivers* We'll just have to agree to disagree about that. I tried a bunch of low-carb ...

I don't do snacks on S days, but that's because I've found that snacking actually diminishes the pleasure of meals and I don't like that. The biggest difference for me on S days is that I usually go out and eat. Even though I don't technically have seconds, let's face it - restaurant plates are the ...

I totally agree. The part I'm still not used to is actually being satisfied with less food even though I'm quite hungry when I sit down to eat. I am now convinced that seconds were just a habit. When I make my plate, I'm always thinking that I really want more, but after I finish it I'm always full....

I don't think it's unhealthy to come here and revel in the sanity. I, for one, spent years getting fatter whilst doing more and more extreme diets followed by more and more extreme falling off the wagon. When I was on those diets, I was involved in several forums and listened to all the podcasts and...

Find yourself becoming a foodie?
I have noticed that since I started No S-ing that I care so much more about tasty food. I'm perusing cookbooks, watching the food channel and taking a lot more care deciding what to eat and preparing meals. At this point I can't even stand to eat store-bought salad dressing. I am in danger of becomi...

are you saying I should have eaten whatever I wanted at the restaurant? I did not enjoy it like I would have other choices I'm sure! The No S diet doesn't prescribe what to eat - just when and how much. So yeah, you could have ordered whatever you wanted so long as the amount of salad, bread sticks...

Wow, that definitely sounds like a toxic food environment. I have to use a lot of willpower when I get together with groups I belong to (knit night!) for the same reason. Food ends up spread out everywhere. I can't imagine having to deal with that all day every day. It sounds like you did very well ...

The number of meals is not set. It's obviously three for most people, but if your medical condition requires more, then that's perfectly compatible with No S. Obviously check with your doctor, but I think if I had a condition that requires eating 4 or more times a day that I would use a smaller plat...

You're looking at just 30 minutes of being mildly uncomfortable. I would just have a no-cal beverage and wait for dinner. You'll enjoy it even more for having an appetite. A snack would just make today a No S fail and your dinner less enjoyable. "We do not need sauce or other relish to add flovour t...

I'm giving up AS (mostly Diet Cokes), but not for weight-loss reasons. Part of adopting this way of eating is re-framing how I think of myself vis-a-vis food. I am not a snacker, I eat moderately, I really enjoy my food and I am never going on a diet again. Diet Coke just doesn't fit in with the new...

Hello, Fellow No S-ers!
I discovered this wonderful way of eating by stumbling upon it in a comment about the book French Women Don't Get Fat , and it is remarkably similar in philosophy. I think I prefer No S because it leaves just enough to my judgment/discipline where FWDGF leaves too much. Both appeal to my desire to n...
