Soprano: once you become fat adapted, you are not hungry when you are fasting. It takes about 2-3 weeks to use up your glycogen stores and then your body starts to use fat for energy. When your body is using fat for energy it sends satiety singals to your brain because it can sense it has plenty of...

Soprano

Sounds like you are doing really well. Congratulations on your loss.

Ifind I am eating less sweets at the weekend. I still have Easter egg and birthday chocolate left over!

Soprano

Kathleen I really feel that until you get to the point where you are only eating in response to hunger you are going to struggle to lose and more importantly maintain any weight loss. I'm not sure this fasting will work for you as if you only eat enough to satisfy your hunger during your fasting per...

Soprano

It can't do any harm to try. I have a slight nos mod which means no starvation. Normally I can manage on three meals but occasionally I get far too hungry and will have a little snack but it is rare.

Do report back

Soprano

Welcome, it's a great way to end binge eating and develop a healthy to meals

Good luck

I'd like to challenge myself to only weigh once a week.

Like the idea of a month but that would be pushing it

Jx

Soprano

I'm not sure I understand the post above Kathleen?

Jx

I walked into the kitchen at work yesterday to find Cake from a birthday and didn't feel at all inclined to eat any!

Soprano

Welcome back, sounds like you are ready this time

Jx

Soprano

Sounds like you are doing really well. I'm trying to cut down to weighing once week at the moment. Not quite managed it yet but I'm not too influenced by the figure so not a huge problem.

Well done Crystal it is so encouraging to see NoS working

Good luck, lots of help and support here

Thank you

Well done, it is quite liberating isn't it to escape the need for sugar or over eating

Jx

Sounds like a good day despite the red. One red in a sea of green is really nothing to worry about.

Well done on your progress

Jx

Soprano

Bingeing is a difficult thing to deal with but it can be mastered :) Sugar can have quite an impact but I don't believe a lifetime ban is needed to overcome it. These days most of the time I can quite easily say no to stuff and not feel any deprivation. It's only during stressful situations that I m...

Soprano

A gain is difficult to cope with. Well done on acknowledging your problem and how you are dealing with it.

You have the tools to sort this out, go for it.

We are all behind you

Soprano

Wise words, end of the week got difficult as I jumped on the scales and haven't lost anything this week. I've been hungry before all my meals so was really expecting a loss. I know all the stuff about variations in weight blah blah but still really wanted to see a loss. It was the habitcal that stop...

Soprano

I like your style, enjoy, it won't last

Soprano

Sounds like you are making lots of progress

I'm really pleased for you

Soprano

You make a lot of good valid points. I agree small incremental steps is the way (weigh :) ) to go. The advice about maintaining along the way is good too. I haven't an end weight in mind or a series of goals I'll decide each one as I go. But they won't ever be more than 4 or 5lbs. I think it will be...

Soprano

Welcome why not start today

Jx

Soprano

Interesting question, I hadn't thought of it in those terms. It's 1.9%

I just wanted to see any number under 11stone

My next goal is 10 stone with a single number for lbs so 10st 9 or less

Soprano

Great news well done

Soprano

If anybody is struggling with this I can't recommend the use of the habitcal highly enough. I'm actually coping quiet well with the NoS system but today I got home really hungry and had to walk the dog and wanted to wash my car before eating. I decided on a mod early on and that was no starvation th...

Soprano

Well done

You cannot know how pleased I am for you.

I suspect that vent may have helped on all fronts

You nailed it girl, go for it now

Soprano

Sounds like you are doing great. You just need to tackle the weekend permasnacking :) Reasons why it is bad: Not good for your teeth Not good for your blood sugars It could jeopardise your hard work in the week Would it work to plan some snacks at short intervals so that you look forward to and enjo...

Thank you so so much everyone. I apologize for my outburst, but I do feel a lot better today having gotten that out of my system. I made up with hubby as soon as he got home. I think that may have been the bug making me eat the way I have the last few weeks. I just needed to let it out. I still got...

Soprano

Day 4=Green! I'm so happy to be doing this. Mentally and emotionally I feel better too, which is a big deal to me. All things considered, it's going to be best for me to respect the Sometimes exception. It's going to need to be a really special S Day event for me to trade a Green for a Yellow on my...

Soprano

When I started this I decided if I was 9lb lighter this time next year I would be very happy :) I'm wondering what is triggering you to go overboard at the weekends. I approach my weekends feeling quite in control. I try and stick to similar meals and portion sizes as in the week but I allow sweet t...

Soprano

So much I would love to say to you Alison but it's not appropriate on a forum. You have my full sympathy, stay strong you are doing amazing. Make it up with hubby, he is probably hurting too..........

Thinking of you

Soprano

So why donâ€™t I stick to it? I think Iâ€™m afraid of the discomfort No S brings - the hunger between meals and the lack of instant gratification at a moment of stress, celebration or sharing. You answered your own question here, perhaps what you should aim for first is to develop the 3 meal a day ...

Soprano

Welcome back, I wish you luck

Jx

Soprano

Sounds like you have turned a corner to get back on track. I must admit at the moment I am focusing on how much better I feel for not overeating and not eating too much sugar. My mood is so much more positive and I feel happier in myself even though there is stressful stuff going on in my life....

Whoop 21 days completed yesterday, there are extra yellow days because it was my birthday just before Easter and over the Easter break I was away celebrating my sister's 50th but even with all that I've lost a little weight over the period

Jx

Soprano

Hi Octavia, sounds like you're doing ok. 3lbs in 4 months could become 9 lbs in a year which I would be happy with given that may weight has increased by about 3lbs a year over the last 3 years or so. Just enjoy your snacks/treats on the s days. Some days we need more than others. Keep going, you ca...

Just got back from a walk and added urban ranger to my habitcal. A doctor told me once, "birds fly, fish swim, people walk." The significance of that simple comment never left me. Now I need to act on it, I am way to sedentary. Love your Drs quote, I love to walk and am increasing my exercise this ...

Soprano

In the interest of full disclosure, I've had a bit of a relapse the last week. It's a drag, but I don't see it as a downward spiral to the end of No S. I get disappointed that I'm vulnerable at all, but I don't seem to be able to become one of the impervious-to-overeating recoverers, so I live in t...

Octavia iz failin! I knew it wouldnâ€™t be a good N day cos of our dinner party, but the WTH effect really took hold this morning. Was in a bad mood due to all the tidying and cleaning required to get the house halfway respectable. Grumpily ate unnecessary ice cream! And felt more mentally blocked ...

Well done you, I'm pleased I had a green week and have lost some weight since I started at the beginning of April

Jx

Soprano

Feeling really good :) I am absolutely convinced this way of eating will work and to date have lost 2.5lbs. I have achieved my first goal weight. They are small goals but I would rather this and know I can achieve them than look at a large loss that feels like I'll never get there, onwards to the ne...

Soprano

Recognising and acknowledging the issue is half the solution. Make yourself a promise that you can have a taste of the kids food if you really want to on the condition that first you stop for 20 seconds and acknowledge that you are going to taste it and enjoy it. Then really taste and savour each bi...

Soprano

Excellent!

Jx

Soprano

Hey don't beat yourself up

Re the insomnia what I do on occasions I wake and can't get back off is make a cup of tea read a while in bed they lie down again when I'm relaxed. I usually drop off

What is tempting you with the kids meals? Are you hungry, do you want what they have?

Soprano

Yes, thatâ€™s very helpful! Kind of like how Iâ€™d like to replace my chips with something healthier. Itâ€™s hard though because thereâ€™s nothing better with pb&j than plain potato chips! But maybe I could start by replacing them 2 or 3 times a week. I wish I loved fruit as much as I love potato c...

Soprano

Sounds like you are doing similar to me. What I meant about composition would for example be a sandwich with one slice of bread and a portion of salad instead of tlwo slices of bread.

Hope that helps

Jx

Soprano

I am currently trying to incorporate as much natural whole and homemade food as I can in my diet at the moment. Rather than look at substitution or portion size how about meal composition?

Jx

Soprano

Big well done on not sampling the four meals. I hate wasting food, do you have a similar problem? Perhaps that explains why you ate it?

You are on the plan now just keep going I feel a green day on its way

Hope your son is ok

Soprano

How about finding something to do indoors, reading, knitting, a new hobby

Jx

Soprano

Sometimes it takes someone not so close to the problem, I'm sure it will help.
I have every confidence you can do this now. Looking forward to hearing about your green days

Take care

Given all you have been through for which you have my condolences I think you are doing great, while you have the insomnia I'd be tempted to add in an extra meal to support your body.

So starting now, I'm pledging to give No S a proper attempt. I will have four green days this week! I've never previously stuck at it but I think if I just nix the excess calories I'll lose the excess flabby bits. I won't be skinny for the holiday but I'll have freedom from thinking about food that...

Thanks for your replies. I don't really drink in the week just at the weekend, so I may treat alcohol as a snack and just have it on S days :-) xx I must admit currently I am allowing myself what I want alcohol wise at the weekend. Saturday we were out celebrating and I had more than 2 glasses but ...

Meal was lovely thanks, we missed dessert as it was getting busy and noisy. Portions were not over large so I didn't feel I'd overeaten. I'm not good at leaving food on my plate but am working on it

Hope you had a good weekend

Today the kids were fighting non stop from when they woke up and I was stressed this afternoon, so ate a handful of crackers and a few small biscuits but I stopped it there, realizing I was eating because I was stressed.

Nearly finished the book which I recommend everyone reads

Had a great week since I went back to work after the Easter break, looking forward to the weekend and intend sticking as much as possible to my meals but enjoying a treat if I fancy it.

Soprano

I've just sent a pm and note it is in the outbox and not the sent. Be interested to hear if this means it hasn't sent as I can't see how to move it on?

Soprano

Had a great first week, good luck everyone, enjoy your weekend

Jx

Good advice above, but if you can restrict to 2 glasses a day during the week you will probably see results quicker and feel better. I find alcohol can weaken resolve too.

For now I would relax around it on a weekend

Soprano

Hmmmm this isn't going quite as well as I expected! I've ordered the book to try and fire my enthusiasm and to ensure I fully understand. I have been completing the habitcal too so am going to treat March as a training ground and hopefully hit the ground running in April

I only started last Friday and so far have more yellow days than greeen.

Which part are you struggling with?
