The other thing that seems obvious to us NoS-ers is that 240 calories doesn't need to be all *that* steep: most people probably eat at least that much in the form of snacks every day. So stop doing that. :) http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/183.gif This is certainly true for men, and for many l...

For me, any type of motionless activity is difficult. I have a lifetime habit of snacking while I read fiction. Interestingly enough, but NOT when reading non-fiction. I think this is because I get "lost" in fiction, but stay aware when reading non-fiction. This is my most troublesome Habit and the...

I'm glad to hear of your pleasant experience with No S.

BrightAngel

I agree (..with KCCC...) that on NoS we have no diet police to answer to. We are free to declare any food we want OK and make up our own tweaks. Our results will speak for themselves. My personal definition of a sweet has to do with the nutritional makeup of the food. I agree. http://www.cosgan.de/...

I have never found that allowing myself to eat whatever I want stopped me from overeating it at some time. Processed foods are powerful. Even thin people overeat them, and sometimes become fat people. That said, it is still crucial to allow those foods into my plan. It is important to take away the...

I think the reason people freak out about the no snacks idea is because it IS the problem. We love them, we love the freedom to munch all day, it's cheap, it's fun, we don't want to stop. To paraphrase Mr. Heston, you will have to pry these Cheetos out of my cold, dead hands! Or in this case, my de...

I think one of the things that leads to "failures" is putting too much importance on little slip-ups. There are going to be circumstances we didn't (and couldn't!) anticipate or plan for.
