I just found out I'm going to be the main author of a cookbook that my magazine is writing. Of course, this is amazing and exciting news! but I will have to test and perfect about 70 recipes (desserts included) before Christmas time. Needless to say, this is a lot of work (it's in addition to all my...

As a former little girl myself, I would be crushed if a teacher I admired started preaching at me about healthier eating when I offered them a treat I made. Many girls that age are extremely body conscious (no matter what they weigh) and could take that the wrong way. I think telling the little gir...

For you Bittman fans -- here's a sneak preview of his new cookbook and here's more info about The Food Matters Cookbook , based on Food Matters . Woah, this recipe (minus the shrimp, for me) looks DELICIOUS. I'm going to try it this week. Thanks! Also, I'm curious for others who like Mark Bittman: ...

Oh gosh, I think I saw what you were talking about. The "snack" items that fast food chains are now offering? I hope people who previously saw those things as legitimate snack (or even meal) options had a change of heart after watching that segment. Whenever I see commercials advertising those gross...

marygrace

If it works for you, do it! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I tend to feel shakey within a few hours of waking if I don't eat something, but my husband can't stomach any food until lunchtime. We're both at a healthy, normal weight.

marygrace

I'm assuming the rest of the article isn't about Shovelglove...does it talk about intervals?

I have his How to Cook Everything Vegetarian cookbook and use it often. I like his approach: down-to-earth, everyday cooking. Sometimes I want something more exciting but that's a great one for everyday and for learning to use unfamiliar foods. This is one of my favorite cookbooks! A lot of the rec...

Sounds like someone is following a macrobiotic program. That's where I learned to cook grains and veggies. Invaluable! Though I don't adhere to the plan. Who, me =) ? I'm a vegetarian and my husband is vegan, but we don't consciously follow a macrobiotic diet. Since I cook almost exclusively vegan ...

This is interesting, and I hope his results get a lot of media attention, since in my experience way too many people are clueless when it comes to trying to lose weight in a reasonable fashion. My dad, for instance, was starting to gain weight, mostly because of huge portions. I told him about NoS--...

marygrace

My thought on this is that unless there's a specific example of Reinhard's writing that meets the goals of this class, using the No-S book isn't appropriate. Urban Ranger is teaching writing, not life skills or weight control. I also think it's not appropriate to steer this young lady towards "heal...

I only know what I'm making for the next couple days, because I belong to a CSA and get my produce box every Thursday (usually after I get the box, I make a meal plan for the week to ensure all the veggies get used up).

I'd take a small bite after she handed it to me, then set it aside (I'd only recommend this to someone who is really confident that they could stop at one bite).

I'm 23. I was a little bit chubby as a kid because I liked to eat sweets and junky food (I've been 5'5" since I was maybe 11 or 12.

Those of you who have increased your exercise/movement while using No S -- Do you find yourself hungrier after your "workout?" If so, how do you manage that? If I work out very shortly before my next meal, yes, I'm hungry. And since I tend to work out vigorously, if I haven't eaten for 5 or 6 or mo...

marygrace

I gained a few pounds at one point, but my vanilla NoS eating habits remained the same. I think the culprit was the fact that I stopped exercising. Once I bumped up my physical activity level, the pounds dropped back off.

marygrace

Congratulations for sticking with NoS. Over time, you will lose weight, but you'll also develop some really strong, healthy habits that'll improve your relationship with food. Like the others have said, 12 days is not a long time. But there's more, I think, that you need to consider. You said that m...

Monday 4/19: SUCCESS

Feelin' good. I had a breakfast skillet burrito in the morning, big salad at lunch, and leftover pasta and vegetables for dinner. Took a break from running yesterday but took the pup for an extra long walk instead. Not much else to report--things were pretty normal.

marygrace

I was eating oat bran with fresh or dried fruit and nut butter for months and months for breakfast and it always kept me full. I'm getting kind of sick of sweet stuff for breakfast though and lately will opt for a taco with rice and beans (when made with a whole wheat tortilla and brown rice, this i...

marygrace

Just to offer a variation on the above view I don't generally worry about sugary cereals (assuming you're only eating them for breakfast), at least with regard to the sugar content. The main problem I do have with them is that if breakfast consists of one bowl of cereal (which is what's technically...

marygrace

BTW, I got the Moran book out of the library, and it is a nice adjunct to No S. In some ways, it deals with some of the stuff that Reinhard does on other parts of this site or podcasts, like developing other areas of your life beyond food. He is the kind of systematic while simple, though. Yeah, Mo...

I know this is a complaining thread, but surely a little troubleshooting won't hurt, right? =) I've had some wild S-days in the past, but have been able to improve a lot. Here's how: -I have a plan. This doesn't necessarily mean limiting myself to 1 or even 2 Ses per S-day, but it does mean knowing ...

marygrace

Groovy1, thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely be checking this book out. I, too, have found that when I consciously set the intention to stop eating at a certain level of fullness, it usually prevents overeating. Further, while NoS has taken me really far in terms of stopping the "eat, rep...

marygrace

CGB, I'm the same height as you, though I began NoS with only about a dress size's worth of vanity weight that I wanted to lose. It took a couple of months--but I did it. I definitely think NoS is capable of much more than helping people maintain their weight. First, as sophiasapientia mentioned, ex...

Saturday 4/17: S-DAY Sunday 4/18: SUCCESS A great S-Day on Saturday. I had a moderate breakfast and lunch, then my husband and I went out for Thai food for dinner. I had dumplings for an appetizer and then some noodles with tofu for dinner. I ate everything, but felt fine afterwards. Normally I'd ea...

Friday 4/16: S-DAY Yesterday was a great S-Day, the kind I'm hoping to have more often. I had three normal meals and two treats.

marygrace

I see how you're trying to set yourself up for success by taking the weekend as N-days and then having S-days when your husband comes home. However, I'd advise against making trades--especially when you're first starting out. You want to build a strong habit of N-days during the week and S-days on t...

marygrace

Ha. You know, even some people who don't know what NoS is might get that. I know a lot of people who see treats as a weekend thing (even though they'll think nothing of snacking or having seconds during the week).

marygrace

Thursday 4/15: SUCCESS We went to the movie theater last night (would've preferred to go on the weekend but there was a special showing last night). Our theater serves meals like a restaurant, and since we had a gift card we had dinner there. I had a black bean burger with fries. It was a bigger por...

marygrace

Welcome! Your initial weight loss is probably water, especially if you were doing a lot of snacking on salty or sugary foods before NoS. As for the snacking--my husband's a snacker, too. Fortunately, it's mostly healthy stuff because I do the grocery shopping, and I simply refuse to buy packaged foo...

4/14/10 I have also rediscovered a new vegetable -- Brussels sprouts. No, not the frozen from a package and boiled gray monstrosities of my youth. No, no... FRESH ones roasted with olive oil and garlic till the outsides carmelize a bit. Little salt... Nom Nom Nom. My dinner was mostly this with a l...

Welcome! It's great you found NoS. With it, you will come to develop a saner approach to eating that's healthier for your mind and body than any kind of diet mentality.

marygrace

In planning snacks, if it comes to having a snack at the movie or some other treat -- I'd go for the other treat. Having said that, I nearly always get some sort of beverage at the movies. I'd go for the homemade treat as well. Maybe it's the portion size or crazy amounts of sugar (or in the case o...

Wednesday 4/14: SUCCESS Oat cereal for breakfast (raw oats with berry compote, wheat germ, and almond butter with almond milk...sounds weird but tastes great), migas and black beans for lunch, and chickpea cutlet with twice baked potato and kale for dinner. I was kind of hungry after dinner and did ...

Looks like he's just asking you to swap a food that's high in cholesterol for a food that's cholesterol-free. If you don't like oatmeal, why don't you swap it for another plant-based food (all plant-based foods are cholesterol-free). If you like something savory in the morning, what about beans and ...

He's not overweight, but he's only 23. I'm sure when he gets older and his metabolism slows down, his eating habits will cause him to gain weight. My husband was SKINNY until he was in his thirties. He does have to watch his weight now, but exercise and not drinking much seems to take care of it fo...

marygrace

I try not to lecture him about it (and I think I do a good job). I know he's an adult and is free to make his own choices, sometimes it's just frustrating. I see the snacking before a meal as sort of disrespecting the food that's about to be served, and he laughs at that--how can you "disrespect" fo...

marygrace

Tuesday 4/13: SUCCESS Yesterday was easy. Polenta and blueberries for breakfast, broccoli and tofu salad with peanut dressing for lunch, and chickpea ricotta gnocchi again for dinner. I also had a handful of almonds before power yoga. I've been drinking a mug of warm almond milk with cocoa after din...

marygrace

AHHH. I just wrote something about this in another thread. My husband insists on snacking while I'm preparing dinner because he's hungry. It's almost dinner time--of course you're hungry! Why don't you wait until the meal is ready and satisfy your hunger then? Ugh, drives me nuts. Marygrace... I ha...

marygrace

Yes... I think it's one of the aspects of No-S that is most reinforcing. Why eat junk an hour before dinner if it means your dinner will not taste as good? "Don't spoil your appetite" is a old-fashioned maternal warning that has fallen out-of-favor, but has been resurrected at my house. There's a r...

marygrace

I have similar issues with my husband, too. He eats nutritious food, but his portions are just way too big (he snacks, too). He's not overweight, but he's only 23. I'm sure when he gets older and his metabolism slows down, his eating habits will cause him to gain weight. Oftentimes, he'll take secon...

marygrace

I find I do this a lot, too, especially after spending 45 minutes or an hour cooking dinner and am super, super hungry. It's kind of interesting that our taste for something can change depending on how empty our stomachs are.

Monday: 4/12: SUCCESS It was a busy last couple of days, but my family left town and now things are back to normal. Yesterday I had porridge for breakfast, broccoli and tofu salad with peanut dressing for lunch, and chickpea ricotta gnocchi with sauteed mushrooms for dinner. Things are normal on the...

marygrace

I should probably be drinking more. I have a cup of coffee in the morning which I think ends up dehydrating me, a glass of water with lunch and dinner (more like half a glass because I never finish it), and usually an iced tea at the coffee shop while i work in the afternoon.

marygrace

I think the reason the bread basket and the chip basket SEEM so delicious and tempting is because a person is hungry before a meal. But why do we think it's a good idea to eat... before we eat? I think the suggestion to keep the basket away until the meal comes and include it on your plate is the b...

I read a book this weekend that I think most NoSers would love. It's called Fit From Within by Victoria Moran. It was actually extremely similar to NoS in that it advocated 3 meals a day of real, whole foods you love along with the occasional indulgence. But that was only a small part of the book, a...

marygrace

Hmm, so yesterday I took an S-event because I really felt like having the leftover ice cream from earlier in the week. That was fine. Then today, though, I wanted more sweets, but it just turned into snacking around the apartment because I was bored. I didn't go crazy, but I'd already had my 3 S-eve...

marygrace

Okay, I don't mean to be a downer, but let me give you my experience. I have been No S-ing since Jan. 1, and was sailing along with almost no problems. It was easy! I just wasn't getting the urges to eat or pig out that I used to. It was like magic. Just in the last 3 weeks, the urges to overeat ha...

Wow, that's fantastic! Congratulations--and keep up the great habit-building work!

We have an older cat who has always been a picky eater with a sensitive tummy. I don't remember how this started, but within the last year we discovered that she loves scrambled eggs -- and they don't upset her tummy. Every morning she gets an egg scrambled in butter with milk or cream (even heavy ...

marygrace

Wednesday 4/7: SUCCESS + S-EVENT Porridge for breakfast and migas for lunch yesterday. In the evening we went over to visit my family in the house they're staying at while visiting. My mom made a big dinner so I took an S-event, and it was well worth it: Lime and coconut curry with tofu and broccoli...

Still struggling with food cravings. I finally ended up making yesterday an "S" day since I was really unwell (though maybe that wasn't the best idea.) I am all done with the steroids so hopefully I will be on the mend soon. I think, too, that maybe switching back to "real" soda instead of diet was...

Truvia is not pure stevia. I wonder about the process that is supposed to remove the bitter side taste. Erythritol, the other ingredient in Truvia, has to be eaten in large amounts to cause the problems that sorbitol and xylitol cause, but I sure don't like the name. Couldn't they have come up with...

marygrace

I've seen numerous things that say people who eat eggs for breakfast report feeling fuller for longer. So if you're getting hungry at 10am and are tempted to snack before lunch, eggs might be a good choice. Plus, like the others said, they're deliciousssss. Especially scrambled with a little bit of ...

marygrace

One other thing I don't really love about stevia is that it's starting to become super commercialized. It used to only be available from one or two small brands at natural food stores, but now Big Food has come out with Truvia. That sort of makes me not trust it, and now I expect that it'll be explo...

I weighed 117.2 today, so I am down from yesterday, but still up about 1/2 a pound from where I was before overdoing it last week. But I don't look as good as I did because I haven't felt well enough to run or do my long hikes or use my Stairmaster, even though I have been faithfully shovelgloving ...

Tuesday 4/6: SUCCESS Yesterday wasn't too exciting, food-wise. I had porridge for breakfast, salad with refried beans and a tortilla for lunch, and a veggie plate at the local Mexican restaurant for dinner. My family wanted to try the place out. Sometimes I'm really tempted by the chips they set out...

Glad to hear it seems like the steroid-appetite connection is real. I remember taking my steroids and for a few days, eating an entire big bag of frozen chicken strips every day (aside from the fact that I'm a vegetarian now, I'd never touch those things as an adult...but I was only in 10th grade!)....

marygrace

I find eating a lot of sugar causes me to feel bloated. If starting NoS has caused you to take in a lot less sugar, you could be losing water weight from that. (Though I'm sure at least 1 or 2 of though pounds are real weight loss from eating less, too!)

marygrace

Not a big fan, it tastes sort of bitter. I'd rather just go with sugar or honey when I want something sweet.

Hahaha, when I saw the subject line for this post I immediately imagined myself running outside and shouting "I LOVE NO-S!!!!!!" for the whole neighborhood to hear. Maybe I should do that sometime--it could help a lot of people.

More energetic and clear-headed, for sure. Maybe that's a sign I'm just eating too big a portion, but I haven't yet rea...

I wonder also if this is your body simply weaning itself off its snack habit--more specifically, its sugar habit. If you're used to having something in the afternoon as a pick-me-up, you might feel out of whack for a while as your body adjusts. Or, like the others said, perhaps you're not eating eno...

No, the stomach doesn't get smaller. Can't remember exactly where I read that, but it doesn't get smaller unless it's surgically made smaller. Wosnes is right.

I don't know if this is something that's been proven in the medical community, but my own personal experience with steroids (I had to take them after having mono for many months) was that I was starving ALL the time. I lost about 10 pounds while I was sick because I just wasn't hungry, but taking th...

I've heard this more than once, though I don't have any information handy to back it up now.

April 3 Since it's an S-day, other than drinking too much, I really can't fail. That said, I found today amusing. I had my breakfast. Had my lunch. Both of 'em were pretty much normal.

Sunday 4/4: FAILURE + S-EVENT Refried beans and rice taco for breakfast, blueberry pancakes for lunch, pasta and cauliflower with pesto for dinner.

Saturday 4/3: SUCCESS + S-EVENT I went to Whole Foods for breakfast like I always do on Saturdays, but since it wasn't a full S-Day and I didn't want breakfast to be an S-Event, I had scrambled eggs and potatoes instead of migas and a biscuit. Still very satisfying. I wasn't too hungry at lunch so I...

I wouldn't get too discouraged. I think when most people hear the word "exercise" they think of grueling dedicated gym time, hard-core all-out running, etc. By that definition I get 14 minutes a day -- and only on N-days. Upping that or something like that to an hour would be insanely hard (and in ...

Okay, for all that I prefer "real" food, this is where my face gets red. I might live in New England, but I grew up in Virginia.

I think that being "on and off" the No S diet is a signal that it's being used as a "diet" -- meaning too much deprivation and "short term" thinking. I too went "off" it once, and I think I did that by tricking myself into thinking I'd eat less if I could snack. Hah! This time I'm 8 weeks in (and l...

Agreed with wosnes and clarinetgal, especially if you'll have an easy time getting back to regular NoS after your vacation. That's the really important part, I think (I've let vacations derail me way after the trip has ended...not good).

Then again, I occasionally have days when I'm either much hungrier or less hungrier than usual and can't associate it to anything. Same here. There will occasionally be days where I feel like I just can't eat enough to fill my stomach. They're pretty rare, but they happen. And there are other days ...

I think there's a difference between something that tastes sweet and "sweets." Agreed. I just had honey on my toast this morning and it was definitely sweet, but it wasn't a sweet.

I have always been annoyed at the articles that crop up every holiday in magazines and newspapers that have all of these "slimmed down" or "light" versions of holiday favorite foods.

NoS has been successful for a lot of people--give it a try for a couple of weeks and see what it does for you. If it really turns out that you end up gaining weight because of it, you can't do that much damage in just a couple of weeks. However, I'm wondering if you aren't eating enough ? I've read ...

The snack obsession is especially weird to me. As I have pointed out before, hunger has come to be treated as a dangerous (if not fatal) disease that must be prevented at all costs, even if it means a constant intake of food. Well, hunger IS fatal, eventually. That's what makes the constant grazing...

Reading this and thinking about it more is making me want to give S-events another shot. I'm not sure. I'm going to give it a bit more thought and maybe experiment for a week or two.

That first one is especially great. "You're fat because you eat too much. There isn't any other reason."

I tried this in the past, and I know Wosnes does this, too. I would allow myself 3 S-events per week.
