Is there anyone out there who combines the principles of No S with other plans? I am interested in the concept of Paleo-style eating, but I also like the habit-building system of No S.
I'd love to hear about what other people are eating and what levels of success you are having with it.

I think any way of eating that doesn't encourage snacking would work with this. What's important is that it's something you can do for the rest of your life.

I think it "layers" well with anything that is not inherently idiotic. 
No-S primarily focuses on habits regarding WHEN you eat, and with the exception of "no sweets," doesn't really address WHAT you eat. So, you can combine it with most nutritional plans that focus on the "what".
Like Wosnes, Thalia, and others, I try to focus on "real food," enough fruits/veg (I do plate divisions when they make sense), and complex rather than refined carbs.
The nice part of that choice is that over time, my tastes have changed so that most of the processed crap around is so unappealing that I can't imagine even WANTING to eat it.
