Milk is a drink. I strongly encourage you, if you can swing it, to get a copy of Reinhard's book and read it. He discusses this at some length in it with great clarity. This is more about habit than calories. It is certainly better to have non-caloric drinks, but technically this is cool, and can ev...

I do think people do have to find what works for them. Honestly? I don't even COUNT a bite of red pepper or a lettuce leaf when I'm prepping dinner. (Slice of bread or something, YEAH, that counts) I try not to do it for habit's sake, and I'll often have something (*cough*glassofwine*cough*) to sip ...

Saturday No-S It was an okay S-day. I baked a small pound cake just 'cause. Exercise 2000 yard swim and a flip turn lesson. Saturdays are always my day for a longer swim. Sunday No-S Thank goodness one cannot fail on an S day. Yeah... Even if I only did bake quite a small pound cake, having a slice...

Two weeks is certainly not long enough to get any benefit at all out of No-S. In fact, I think it's way the devil too soon to worry about plate content. Habit first. Seriously. Yes, yes, yes, fill your plate with veggie if you like them (I do!) I spent a year on it a few years ago, and it was wonder...

Yes, it's effective. No, it is not magic. If you follow the rules of the diet, but binge on the weekends, and things like that, you probably will not lose weight. It is also very desirable to do some exercise as well (check out Urban Ranger) I have another thread that can set some expectations, but ...

What can I expect from No-S
I'm a data geek. I teach Excel, so I am always looking for ways to express data in different formats available to a spreadsheet to keep my skills sharp. Diet and weight loss, being biological and therefore non-linear data sets, are great for this use. Now, I weigh every day. I don't recommend this u...

I'd say at this point swimming is more of a hobby or sport than "exercise." But yeah, I'm definitely a swimmer. Love weights, and I need to start lifting again.

Worth an S Day
My husband was complaining about co-workers always wanting to go out to lunch. Not from a food quality or diet perspective, but from a fiscal one. Then we got to talking about food that's so often available at work, and social expectations and how to do the social dance when it conflicts with person...

Habit or Hobby
Had an interesting thought as I am procrastinating on my swim training. The whole point of what Reinhard recommends as an uberconcept of everyday systems is that you're doing something unobtrusive and habit-driven that has a large cumulative effect. Shovelglove for 14 minutes every N-day is a good e...

Well, I do notice that we tend to want to explain what we're doing when it's often unnecessary. That invites comment on our personal choices. Let the nosy busybodies be intrusive without invitation.

Little Victories and social props
I work in an office now. This means that I am often surrounded by eating opportunities. That's not so bad, as I can just... choose not to. It's the little parties that can be a pain sometimes. A co-worker I am pretty fond of is transferring to another department and there was a party for her. So, is...
