Everyday Systems

I'll start. My favourite is, "your resistance now really means something" from the No Seconds chapter.

I can testify as a person with a steady BMI of 20. It's very doable! For me, the key is to fill myself up on plenty of nourishing, real food Best of luck!

I lost nearly 20kg and been maintaining for a while by having 3 proper meals a day and saving treats for weekends/special occasions. As long as you are eating less than you were before you started, and aren't being an idiot on s days by sticking to the "sometimes" principle, you WILL lose weight. Ho...

By tradition, the tendency for women to seek out help from supportive environments is widely accepted.

When I began this diet my stomach stopped rumbling 1 hour after mea...

Wow, thank you guys for your helpful advice, I sincerely appreciate it and will definitely be putting them to practise!

I've lost a noticeable amount of weight on no s since I started 3 months ago, and I have people asking me how I did it. Usually I just say "I stopped snacking" and this seems to instil concern in them, with the assumption that I'm not eating enough, and it feels silly to have to justify my newfound ...
