Welcome aboard. If health services has been like many of my jobs over the years, there's always an abundance of food in the lunch rooms or cafeterias to snack on.

I experienced a moment of clear and honest perspective last night, and for what it's worth, I figured I'd share it here, in the event that it might ring true for others. This is part opinion piece, part long-overdue positive self affirmation... your mileage may vary. The "No-S diet" is a straightfo...

Hi Nell12, I'm also fairly new to No S myself, but it might be helpful to others if you show what your actual meals are for a week or so. Also what added activities you're doing on which days.
