Well done, Tiffani. What's that old adage... if you fail to plan, then plan to fail? It's something of a sweeping generalization as are most adages, but I find it more true than not in my life. The other thing I do which helps me not dash off for take out or eating out is to keep some ingredients an...

Connor, The one thing about research is that something that bears out for a significant per centage of the study group under controlled conditions is often reported as absolute. So even if this psyschologist is citing peer reviewed research, it doesn't mean it's true for all people all the time. Whe...

Well, I don't think there is wrong with intentionally choosing less calorie dense foods to fill your plate. So, if you want broth and greens and maybe a bit of bread for a night or two, then by all means do so. My father, who lived NO S, would often lighten up for a few days after rich foods. I am b...

In poking around how to utilize Facebook for my work at a science center, I found the following: Facebook Share: I put some code, a logo, and some tags into a table on the Center's website and voila, people can click on it and the Center's logo will post to their profiles. http://www.facebook.com/fa...

Waaaaayyy off topic
I'm interested in incorporating podcasts as part of trainings I conduct for work. What do I need in terms of software and hardware? Is there a Podcasts for Idiots in Need of a Guide out there somewhere?

I agree, we don't want to recreate the group. Rather, we want to send people here. In my original post, I threw out the idea of widgets, apps and groups as if they there the same and they aren't. I checked out what it would take to make a Facebook App. Those are those annoying invitations and "gifts...

She says that me doing No S is just another diet with rules to follow, break and blow, and that I have to learn to nurture myself from within and set limits with myself and the food stuff will iron itself out, instead of following whatever external rules I decide to impose upon myself. I guess I do...

I've never kept a food log. But the question I have in thinking about it is what is the purpose? As a tool to monitor compliance or accountability, I would think the Habitcal would be better (I don't use that, either). Monitoring compliance w/ a food journal means going back and re-reading the entri...

No S Facebook App
I see on a lot of websites a widget to post to Facebook. Could we get something like that? Does anyone know if there is a Facebook Group dedicated to No S? I am thinking that with the New Year, people will be looking for diets.

Holiday NWS days
I just realized that I have one NWS days between now and Christmas. Our office Christmas party is usually a potluck and someone always brings a yummy treat. Since I will make this an S event rather than a day, I feel I am getting off easy. All the other holiday celebrations I know about are on regul...

Cheery diet advice articles are full of great suggestions like snacking on a half cup of frozen grapes or grabbing* an apple. Even the previous version of the food pyramid almost required a fruit or veg snack in order to get your 5-7 servings. I have fruit and a glass of juice in the morning, a sala...

I think it's residual "old way" overthinking food choices; tiny bits, one piece, 60 calories, "healthy" food (dark cocoa), it's not that much, it's my treat... And so on. Quite frankly, none of that matters because it's a snack and therefore, technically, not allowed. No S says what you eat isn't as...

Matt, This plan will work for even a sedentary computer programmer. A lot of people find that the initial success breeds more success so that after a while, instead of looking for ways to cheat, you look for ways to challenge yourself more (add workouts, tweak what goes on your plate to make it heal...

Noel, sounds like you've had some rough months. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. A tragedy can really knock you back on your heels. But it sounds like you are ready to stand up, brush yourself off and resume the march. Personally, I think the holidays are the perfect time to resume No S. I ca...
