I just completed Day 14! I have all green days during the week and of course the S days on Saturdays and Sundays. I am really proud thus far and am feeling so relaxed around food. What a change. Tonight we went out for supper with my in-laws. My husband ordered an appetizer to share (wings!) and I d...

Glad you caught yourself on the calorie counting! The only thing that does is make life miserable, which you already know. I wish I had never even heard the term calorie, or know how much is in which certain foods. It seems that as soon as I had that knowledge, that's when food became an issue. Grea...

I love KBs so much! I think it's almost a meditation for me. I really just zone out, make sure I'm squeezing muscles in the right places ;) and get the workout done. I've never done Lauren Brooks' program but have heard great things about it. I do have Iron Core Kettlebell with Sarah Lurie. It's sup...

Thanks DSTSS! It's amazing how fast the mental changes take place. I was pretty worried about my meals being just right in the beginning, because I was so scared of hunger. Turns out hunger isn't going to hurt me so it's not a big deal. Yay! Enjoy your S days, that is what they are there for. And Re...

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement! This forum has proven to be so friendly. I am so thankful for this resource. Today was another green day. I have an app called HabitBull on my phone, so I track my habits on there and I am also using HabitCal here. Today when I checked Yes for No S...

Great article! I think this quote from the article is one of the key aspects that sets No S apart from the restriction diets. The habit turns into something we do without having to think about. It doesn't take up any mental real estate! “Maintaining weight loss is not a lifestyle,†she says. “I...

My suggestion would be to make sure you are filling up your plate so you don't feel any deprivation. I keep reminding myself that this plan is "systematic moderation" as Reinhard says. It isn't deprivation and it isn't over-indulgence, unless we turn it into that. Funny you bring up meat. This morni...

I love reading your insights, because I can nod my head in agreement as I read a long. Yep, me too, yep, that too, yes, I'm right there with you! LOL! I am feeling much more confident about the S days coming up compared to last week. Much more relaxed since they went pretty good! We can do this! I'v...

I had problems sleeping too. And I am hesitant to suggest things because all things work different for different people, but I just followed the protocol Julia Ross uses in the Mood Cure (https://www.moodcure.com/pdfs/Townsend-Letter-NNTI%20article.docx.pdf), using Seriphos and Lactium.
