Hi GermanHerman, As a general rule I'd say I agree with you. Moderation is the key to a long and happy life for a myriad of reasons. The issue I came across with sugar is that the only way to get to the "moderate" position was to first eliminate anything with added sugar then I was able to add back ...

Hi wosnes, I've eaten (almost) sugar free for 2 years now. I started it long before I heard of no-s just because It seemed logical to me that we just don't need all that sugar. It was pretty easy for me to cut out the added sugar and now I've lost my taste for it and rarely eat sweets of any kind. I...

Ironchef, thanks for the words of support. There is a book called " The Long Goodbye" which I've never read but I think about the title daily because it so accurately describes what happens when someone you know develops dementia. I've had to say "goodbye" to my Mother so many times already that I t...

Hi, I agree with Germanherman. You can,and should, make the s days fit your schedule but it has to be consistent. I'm not sure your 500 calorie per meal goal will be realistic as you get closer to your running goal. If you find yourself ravenous and grouchy, you may have to increase your fuel intake...

fail again :roll: Didn't eat enough dinner and ate too early. A clear recipe for failure. I've been sad because my Mother can't come back to live with us when she is discharged from rehab. ( broken hip + dementia) She'll need 24 hour supervision And we just can't provide it. It makes it harder to m...

Ironchef, Your right about putting it away!! I've actually had to resort to just not buying it to begin with. But my daughter had a birthday party last weekend and they were left over. To be honest, I'm impressed that they were in the house as long as they were. . .my son predicted they would be gon...

I recently de-lurked myself and I'm also "a lady of a certain age" :) I also cook from scratch. Unless you are "tasting" the equivalent of a small meal, don't worry about the the tasting. I find that keeping the process simple helps me stay focused. For me, I use the "sucks my energy" test for simpl...

I was thinking something like this regarding running. I trained to run 1 Mile with my daughter in the spring but I have plantar fasciitis so I ended up with a very painfull foot. I did make the mile though and learned I like to run. So, I had the thought that if I incorporate 1 minute of running int...

Day 4: success . Ironchef, we humans are a funny bunch aren't we? The smallest thing can send us through the roof with glee, or conversely, spiraling down in misery. Positive feedback is so important to our successes in all walks of life. One of the nice things about the Internet is that folks like ...

Day 3: success . So, it turns out the public accountability paid off already. I'm pretty sure yesterday would have been a fail if I didn't know I'd have to 'fess-up. As it is, I have to admit to some funny business. Not exactly one plate (took an extra piece of bread and a very small piece of chippe...

First: take a deep breath. Second: take another one third: take another Now. . . If at all possible and safe take a walk. When you get back we'll talk. Back already? :wink: You are right.

Day 1: success :D easy-peasy. Eating a more filling dinner later in the evening is definitely Key. Wish me luck on day 2. Eshano- long before no-s I made a variety of positive changes in my diet starting 10 years ago with (but by no means limited to) "no cream or sugar in my coffee" I think The even...

Gingerpie's 21 day challenge
Stepping out of the lurking zone to add some accountability. I've been loosing weight but am trying to reach the "don't have to think about it" stage. I figure the only way to reach that stage is to focus on consistency. Thus the challenge. :wink: Today is day 1 and so far so good but the evenings a...

De-lurking and checking-in
Hi, I've been following the boards for a few months now. I've lost 20 pounds even with significantly less than exemplary compliance. A bit of background . . .I eat a very nutritious diet but I do love my wine in the evening and salty snacks anytime :D Before starting No-s I had eliminated added suga...
