I discovered No S in about October last year. I actually saw a link in a "getting organised" article on the Guardian news site (
http://www.guardian.co.uk/) - I can't find the article now, but it was something short about getting organised and Reinhard was mentioned along with Everyday Systems. On reading about No S I instantly realised I needed this sensible approach!
I've been a vegan for 8 years and not had any significant weight issues but I've always had tendencies towards overeating (e.g. regularly eating past the point of being comfortably full) and I realised I needed a system to control my eating habits as my weight was slowly starting to creep up.
I have lost about 2 kgs since November (which I guess is something like a pound a month), and according to my fancy scales my body fat percentage has gone down from 29% to about 27%. I don’t have a particular goal weight in mind, but I’d like my body fat percentage to go down to about 25% and to generally just feel fit and healthy.
By far the best thing for me though is the
higher energy levels, better digestion / less bloating and better sleep. I still have issues with feeling hungrier than I'd like, but ensuring a good supply of protein with meals helps (especially as my diet is lower in protein than that of most), along with drinking lots of water, and enjoying 2-3 coffees with soy milk throughout the day.
Lastly of course having S days is very important (provided you don’t go crazy with them) it’s important to give yourself a break from the rules and reward yourself often enough to keep up your motivation.
I've found this forum very helpful too if I have a question or issue or need some motivation to get back on track after having a few bad days (we all have them!).
Good luck!!
Also I’d like to express sincere thanks to Reinhard for this system, and to everyone here in this helpful forum!
p.s. I guess this has become a testimonial of sorts, so Reinhard, feel free to use it in your testimonials page if you like
