Well the title says it all. I've known about and stuck to NoS since Dec 2006, but we are military, and it seems every move throws me off. Add to that I homeschool my two young kids, and they can be a handful, and the stress from that leads me to the kitchen. Literally, I can help them with a disagre...

FarmerHal

Ok, starting over again! I keep diet bouncing. And the fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter what way of eating you follow, noS still works the best incorporated with a woe. I am having issues with snacking because of stress. I get the least big stressed and i'm off to find something to stuff my ...

FarmerHal

Thanks guys!! Yesterday was a flop. Did well till mid afternoon. The kids were just compoletely wild yesterday, who knows why and I didn't cope well and had a bowl of popcorn. Today went well. Steak/coffe for breakfast Tuna salad sandwich with celery, red pepper strips, carrots, grapes and strawberr...

It was prescribed as a weight loss diet. She said low carb diet with a small amount of fruit per day. Which, I suppose is fine in conjunction with noS. She did extensive bloodwork (trying to figure out a health issue I have) and it all is "excellent" along with my blood pressure. She was expecting m...

FarmerHal

Thanks everyone :) KCCC you are wise as always. Why oh Why did I stray? Because some such other 'diet' looks "better'' or ''faster'' and in the end, NOT! I definitely feel up to a trip to bath and body works for some lotions, sprays, bubble baths, shower gel! Would love some scented candles and flow...

FarmerHal

Well, I had some health issues and went to my doctor. One of her 'prescriptions' was for me to do a low carb diet. Initially I lost some but the food restrictions broke me down. I cannot hang if I can never ever have a treat again!! I am now bigger than ever. Dec 06 I found the noS diet, and here we...

FarmerHal

Back again. I've tried atkins, general low carb, just saying f'it LOL, counting calories, counting carbs... :roll: It's enough to make me insane! Still emphasizing on gluten free and low carb for most of my meals. NO SECONDS< NO SNACKING! And of course limited sweets on S and special days. Need to a...

I'm here! Confused as ever. My allergy tests and visit to the allergist threw me off, a WHOLE bunch. The allergist didnot think the reactions to tomatoes, green beans, adn chocolate were significant enough to be considered an allergy, so thank goodness, chocolate is OK! However, he gave me the old "...

Happy Monday!
I am happy to say the worst of the withdrawals from my med is over, yahoo. I feel different, in a good way. More present.
Anyway, This weekend was S's Friday was RED however as I indulged a bit too much on drive in movie food.

A new day:
Happy Valentines' Day!

As for other food, I trust my body to know what is good for it. I am somewhat skeptical of scientific findings From a scientific stanpoint, in WWGF, Taubes states that carbohydrates (starches- grains, potatoes, and sugar) head to the same pleasure-giving area in the brain as does heroin, cigarettes...

FarmerHal

Restoring the Paleolithic diet is not necessary when agriculture began 10,000 years ago, the Industrial Revolution was 10 generations ago, and I can remember when one kid in my class was fat. One. I had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk every day at school. We had cereal for breakfast. We...

FarmerHal

Kathleen, I couldn't disagree more. Since the introduction of grains and sugars into the human diet, humans' health problems have multiplied. Grains are so nutritionally poor that it has to be added back in or people get diseases like beri beri and scurvy. Sugar has ZERO nutrients and only serves to...

FarmerHal

Thanks to all for the comments :) Nice to see you here! Went to the allergest for 1st round of allergy testing.

I finished reading Why We Get Fat and what to do about it by Gary Taubes. It has made me understand that, Yes!, low carb diets are best for my body. I posted on the WWGF thread, and it explains how in 2 months of eating Atkins, I lost 35lbs with no effort other than not eating starch/sugar. I am not...

FarmerHal

After some second thoughts, I am going back to low carb (stickign with noS though) because I felt/did much better. This means no oats.
No starches (grains/potatoes) and sugar.
Thanks for your oatmeal ideas though

FarmerHal

May I join in? I just finished reading WWGF this morning. First, some anecdotal evidence: I've been fat since the 2nd grade. I've been on diets off and on since then. I was told over and over, starting from childhood- it was a personal flaw, I ate too darn much and to have a little will power (meanw...

FarmerHal

I have been craving hot cereal lately, and with my recent low carb escapades, have been avoiding grains like the plague! Anyway, how do you do your oatmeal? As an aside, I feed my dogs a natural diet, and part of it is a porridge meal, which is grains ground into a flour with some nuts and seeds and...

FarmerHal

just some self chatter: 1. Between meals eating is not an option it is simply not time to eat. 2. Eating while stressed (kids) bored (lonely) or anxious (decision making) is not going to help anything- it might cover up those feelings momentarily but the obviuos answer is directly dealing with the s...

FarmerHal

It is going to take some self acceptance (of the way you are now) to move on and let go of some of that anxiety. Also, knock off the coffee's :) Full-caff sends my anxiety through the roof! and I'm a mess for hours. (I also have clinical depression). Switching to decaf (after 4 days of caffiene with...

FarmerHal

I don't weigh myself anymore. In fact, DH forbids me LOL. I kid, but if the number is bad, then I spend the day in a foul mood, self hatred and usually binging because I feel so hopeless. I can take a look in the mirror and see I still need work. I can put on my size 22 pants and know that I need to...

FarmerHal

Yay, I did it!! 2 green days in a row :) It helped to tell myself that it simply was not time to eat and I would not starve or have anything bad happen to me if I was a little hungry :) Today's S plan I want to make a homemade apple crisp- all from scratch, none of that nasty canned syrupy apple stu...

FarmerHal

What does everyone do to get through those munchy hungries in the afternoon? Water? what? It's not terrible, and I'm reminding myself it's ok to be a little hungry sometimes.

I dislike the afternoons and can't wait till supper!

Yesterday was GREEN :) Need to find some markers to use on my calendar, was never very good at doing habitcal. B: tuna steak, banana, 2 eggs.

I've fallen off the wagon countless times. Sometimes for a short amount of time, sometimes for a long time. I'm back again today. So far so good on an N day.

I like what woesnes has to say about falling off the wagon.

Turning over a new leaf, so to speak. I was going to go dig up my old posts but I believe starting anew is a better idea. Been playing with low carb/no carb diets and failing miserably. Back up again. Waay up. Was it worth it? Ultimately, no. My weakness is still snacking- I do it out of anxiety and...

I've lost count of how many times I've restarted noS. I'm back again today, fatter and more miserable because I ignored the noS rules. Starting back up on a Friday is not the smartest thing but I think at least getting myself to stick to 3 meals a day, not realizing I will NOT starve and sometimes i...

FarmerHal

That may be true- unless you are insulin resistant. Then, like me, if you eat much carbohydrate in the form of grains or sweets or dairy, you just put weight ON rather than the theory of "just eating too much."

JMO

FarmerHal

I'm still here. Still gaining. Up to 235 this morning. Shannah, thanks so much for the encouragment. The reasons I do no grains/dairy is that I just do not tolerate them. They make me pretty ill in a variety of ways. Top that off with insulin resistance and anything my body can change to glucose and...

Yes, I always come back to the sanity of this lifestyle! The hardest thing I'm dealing with now is not snacking between meals...

I am back, again, for the umpteenth time! I just tried doing the "paleo" diet, which is no grains, dairy or sweets.

Congratulations! I keep coming back to NoS, because it's sane and sustainable. I just recently came "off" attempting to do a paleo diet. (no grains, dairy or sweets).

FarmerHal

It could be a stomach bug but it could also be your body is adjusting to fewer meals (meaning it has to secrete less insulin during the day) and if you are eating more healthful meals, then your body may be detoxing a it.

I like the Paleo Diet. Although I still eat some grains with the GF stuff. My ultimate goal is to eat paleo style though. I feel my absolute best on it.

Yesterday was red with 2 cookies. But that was kept to my supper.. oh well.

Today, piece of gf toast/butter for Breakfast
Lunch finally now is chicken stir fry and I think an apple.

FarmerHal

I am so sorry for your loss :( I am happy that you were able to stick to NoS though. Food does help elevate levels of seratonin, a feel-good chemical in our brains, so at least we understand why we crave foods... exercise will also do the same for us, a much better alternative (as learned from the b...
