Huzzah! YGG! There are many, many reasons to follow NoS other than weight loss. Any more my main reason is habit of mind - meaning that I try not to allow myself unlimited indulgence because that leads to sloppiness and under achievement which leads to (surprise) a loss of a sense of competence, emo...

Was there a more complete list that I didn't see? Supposedly there were 77 things, but I only saw a dozen or so. My curiosity was piqued! So I searched on Google Scholar and found if not the original article by Stigler then one published shortly thereafter (cited below). Since I'm working on my mas...

Miss Hartshorne does want her moment in the sun, doesn't she. Maybe she needs her own checkin thread with full disclosure that she is a persona rather than a person. I'd hate to cause some poor new person distress. I was on a board once where a regular poster assumed a name and made up some fantasti...

Stigler Diet
The other day on Writer's Alamanac there was a piece on the Stigler Diet developed as a mathematical model rather than an eating plan. There's a diet named after Nobel laureate economist George Stigler. The Stigler Diet is actually a mathematical model for the cost of subsistence eating — a linear...

Blithe Morning, I want a visit from Mrs. Hartshorne! Eileen, since you live in Florida, Miss Hartshorne would love to come visit as the bitter cold is beginning to wear even on her. She would probably stay in an old fashioned tourist cabin right next to the citrus fruit stand on the highway going o...

Hey, on No S you can have pizza every night - every MEAL for that matter - if that's what you really want. Of course you won't do that because you are a sensible person even though some part of you that Freud probably would have called the id wants to. I have this inner persona - I call her Miss Har...

Roasted root veggies and a fried egg. Cube root veggies. Toss with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. "Bangers and mash". Bangers are a sausage, mash mashed potatoes. I've recently learned how to make colcannon which is cabbage ma...

I know you are anxious to get the weight off but at some point you have to make peace with the idea that quick weight loss is no longer an option. As others have said, those of us on the board who prattle on about food quality and carbs and so forth have been doing this a while. No S revolutionizes ...

You could go to the www.nosdiet.com and CTRL F for will power and other terms you are looking for. That should give you a start.

So far, changing S days to a set number of "S opportunities" throughout the week has worked pretty well. Yesterday, the director came in with sweets from the local candy store that makes knee buckingly good candy. She gave me TWO truffles! This being Tuesday I had all 5 S opportunities available to ...

I use protein bars with a piece of fruit as a breakfast when I am going to be traveling and know breakfast won't be available to me and when I am in the field (literally) for work. These trips are overnight and self contained; we have to be light and mobile. The other 350 or so days a year, I don't ...

Worst case 5 year scenario on No S: you do vanilla No S faithfully and you maintain. Most likely 5 year scenario on every other diet plan: you lose weight and then rebound so you are 5, 10, 20 lbs heavier then when you started. So far, you haven't been part of the small percentage of people who los...
