I hated feeling hungry on diets because I knew that even after my next meal I would still feel hungry shortly thereafter. The good thing about NoS is that if you come to the table hungrier than normal, you can put a little more on your plate. And if you really did eat too little just at the last mea...

Eating out was a treat when I was a kid in the late 60's, early 70's. If we were out and about and I said "I'm hungry" the standard answer is "We have food at home. Just wait." Mom went to work outside the home when I was 10 but our lifestyle did not change that much. We still ate at home. I would s...

Re: chips with lunch
We need a diet head emoticon. A diet head emoticon with a large King Kong type foot squishing it would be better.GLENDA wrote:Chips are snack foods-see ? old diet head thinking again!!!!
For the record, I think snacks are more a when than a what.

And unlike other "green" actions you could take, there's no complex chain of arguments to consider, like, whether lamb imported from new Zealand actually has a lower carbon footprint than locally raised lamb, etc. We (the human collective we) so overthink these things. I once witnessed a huge argum...

I work in environmental education and outreach. And I've been thinking about No S in terms of my work. One of the things that is a significant topic of discussion in my area is how to change people's behaviors. There is a fair amount of research dedicated to this as well as two listserves that I kno...

Hi momm243 I have hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid - diagnosed 8 years ago) and type 2 diabetes (diagnosed 2 years ago) and as a result I also have a very low metabolism.

The plan is simple. It reminds me of the way I understood eating when I was 8. You normally didn't have snacks because they would "ruin your dinner". You normally didn't have seconds because it was more food than you needed. If you were really hungry, you had an apple. You normally didn't have sweet...

I'm starting my third week. The first week was rugged. The second, not so bad. Today was fine. In an odd kind of way it was a relief to feel real hunger at lunch time. Just keep telling yourself that it will not hurt you to be hungry for an hour or so. Then when you get to eat next, you will eat eno...

One of the best reasons for No S, I think, is maintenance. It's really hard to gain weight when eating this way barring some drastic change in metabolism or diet. Look at it this way. A banana, mozarella sticks and sweet goodie add up to about 200 calories a day or 1000 calories a week if you eat th...

If plate size were part of the rules I would be one of those who would be forever consulting the Table of Wisdom to see what was Allowable and was Forbidden. However, this is something that is useful when you are one of those odd situations where there is no dinner plate or the plate is way bigger o...

It is hard to get past the "bad" food mindset. I remember a Reader's Digest vignette from something like Like In These United States section: An elderly gentleman was an especially cantakerous patient. He drove the nurses to distraction with his constant complaints about inconsequential matters. One...

I tend to want to eat more but not necessarily sugar or chocolate. I can't figure out if it is emotional eating because I'm cranky or I'm actually hungrier. No-S is really hard those two days.

On Wednesday nights, I lead a group of Grade 3-5 girls at church from 6:30-8:00. We have a lesson, do an activity page, sometimes work on a project or craft. About half the time we have a snack. The girls usually ask for it and many of them seem really hungry. Sometimes we don't have a snack. I had ...

New Too
Hi, I'm new to posting too but a long time, occasional lurker. I like No S because I feel better when I do it. And it's easy. And makes sense. The world seems a more ordered place on no-S.
