Fad Diet Article (:
LOVE this article on the BS that is dieting (: Love the No S way which DOES NOT feel like a diet at all but a way of life. Too bad so many are drawn to the false promises of fad diet!!

I run 4 1/2 miles or do 45 minutes on the elliptical 6 days a week. I lift weights 5 days a week. I walk my dog about 40 minutes a day & lately have been riding an exercise bike while I read, check email, or do other things that can be done while riding an exercise bike, usually about 40 minues a da...

I have to comment on the breastfeeding. I agree, it made me STARVING, but I found that when I added in a lot of fat, my appetite calmed down & the baby weight fell off. I'm talking eggs, sausage, cheese for breakfast & bacon cheeseburgers for lunch, but I was really one of the ones that everyone tho...

If you are gaining weight at the right pace & your doctor is happy with where you are at I wouldn't listen to what anyone else says!! But, if you are overly hungry between meals (not just feeling hungry because you "should" be) than I would think it's your body's way of telling you to eat bigger mea...

Thanks Apprentice , I always love hearing from you (: Things have been going well on my end. I was reading about NEAT which are basically all the active non exercise calories we burn & have really been focusing on that which has made such a difference. I'm jumping on the exercise bike for a leisurel...

I wanted to mention your having an N day to sort of make up for a fail. This was so me until I read what Reinhard said about it. Basically that by doing it that way, in the long run it doesn't work. I would get into the habit of thinking I could make up for a mistake later which lead to a bigger mis...

A week & 1/2 ago my family had football tickets & I decided to take a true S day, with no rules, because eating wasn't going to be anything close to normal that day. Boy did that not work for me LOL!! I do so much better with S days where I stick to N rules, but have S events. I don't even have to l...

I was the same way coming into No S. My N type days weren't really the problem. I had more of a problem with an N day where I couldn't live up my expectations & weekend days where I let go of my rules & tended to go overboard. Now I have Mon-Thu N days & Fri night-Sunday S days. S days are basically...

I've been noticing that for the last few months I have a lot more "fails" than when I started. Nothing major, just little oops', an extra glass of wine, a few chips in soup that I had planned to only have cheese in. Really small fails that I count as fails because if I do these small things EVERY da...

I seemed to have had a woosh this week. It happens where I go along slowly losing the little big of weight I have left & then a big drop hits & seems to stay. I've read a lot about the woosh effect & although I KNOW that all it is weeks worth of smart choices all coming together, I can't help but th...

Rawcookie I love your story about the cookies!! That is totally me. Fresh baked goods are my weakness. When I bake I always LOVE LOVE LOVE what I make. Bananna bread, cookies, rice krispy treats, carrot cake, cinnamon rolls with icing, sugar cookies with powdered sugar icing. I have to be extra care...

I get migraines from nuts. There's nothing like a migraine to teach you not to eat something (: This week has felt awesome. Skipping the dark chocolate saves me about 100 calories a day I figure but I've actually been less hungry this week than I was last week, which is really strange. I wonder if i...

I hope it worked for you Apprentice!! Things have been going decent enough for me. A few too many days that I consider fails in the month of September, but I'm fine with it because none of the fails have really been all that bad. Small things that didn't lead to anything bigger. I decided the dark c...

One of my favorite things I've gotten from No S is my reaction to a day when I know I can't succeed. Wednesday this week I was just extra hungry & not in the mood to be strict about what I ate. I tried a bigger lunch, which helped get me through to dinner, but needed a bigger dinner to. For me the d...

Apprentice, Dark chocolate does seem a bit taboo around here but it doesn't fall under my "sweet" category. My sweet category is more about things that work better for me being enjoyed only sometimes/special vs. daily. Most desserts are there, like brownies, cakes, cookies, things that are mostly em...

I have found that I'm pretty good before a meal at knowing what is the right amount to have & that w...
