Can you delay breakfast and/or lunch by a couple of hours? In the past, I ate breakfast between 7-8 a.m., and lunch around noon, and found that it was sometimes difficult to wait until 5-6 p.m. or later to eat supper. I've since gotten into the habit of eating breakfast between 10-11 a.m., and lunch...

I didn't say anything about your choices being "good" or "bad." I'm talking about the parameters that are described as being "No-S." Nutritionally, you could eat all the plain greens you want with no ill effect. However, the driving force behind No-S is the development of healthy eating habits (inde...

In order for your way of eating to truly be "No-S," the fruit you eat with a meal should occupy space on your plate. The idea here is that you're developing the habit of not snacking between meals, and utilizing a method of portion control that doesn't require a great deal of thought, planning, or w...

Good advice, above. If you haven't yet lost weight, it's because you're still not burning significantly more calories than you're consuming.

This thought experiment helped me to clarify what, really, a fast is.

Perhaps that is wordy but it ...
