Can a healthy person use this?

I was wondering if a normal weight person could use this to maintain a healthy weight. Thank you!

I think many people maintain a normal, healthy weight by following the basic principles of No-S, whether or not they realize they're doing it

I would think so. It's modeled after how "normal, healthy" weight people tend to eat.

If you have nothing to lose, No S is a great insurance policy. It might also make you feel more in control and enjoy your food more.
If you have something to lose, No S will get you there a most pleasant, sustainable, healthy way.
If you are too skinny -- well, talk to your doctor, but I suspect solid, meal based eating like no-s prescribed might be just what he/she orders.

Absolutely!

NoS can be used for both weight maintenance and weight loss. I started a modified version of NoS at a "normal" weight for my height (122-125 lbs., 5'5"), and got down to 115 lbs. I'm now using my modified version to maintain my weight loss. I also could've used NoS to maintain my higher/"normal" weight, just by simply increasing the amounts of food I had during my meals. The beauty of NoS is that it is super-easy to adjust to fit your needs.

Yes! One of the things I love about No-S is that it STARTS with the same plan that you will use for maintenance. I look at it as, this is how I will eat for the rest of my life--it's a very doable, workable plan.

I can testify as a person with a steady BMI of 20. It's very doable! For me, the key is to fill myself up on plenty of nourishing, real food

Best of luck!

I'm a healthy weight, and I'm just starting the no S diet plan as a way to maintain weight / cut back on sugar / maybe lose a few pounds in the long term.

Mostly, I want to stop feeling guilty about eating so many sweets during my sedentary workdays. I also want to feel like I can ignore the magazines and the media - not think I should go on a super restrictive diet to get a flat stomach in 20 days. I just want feel like the food / eating area of my life is sort of handled, like I've got a plan in place, so I don't need to worry or obsess. And, you know, I wouldn't mind if I lost 10 lbs or so.

Welcome, Ellemn!

Our culture really does inundate us with media about all kinds of diets!

Thanks so much, Merry!

It's good to be here.

I'm just 2 days in and definitely already looking forward to my S days!

That stretch from lunch to dinner is haarrd! I miss my snack break at work, and the cake at the work birthday celebration. Skipping the before bed snacks was tough too. Oof.

But so far I like that my meals are real meals. I get to actually sit down and look at a plate rather than just graze a bunch of random stuff straight from the cupboard or fridge. I could see this helping me enjoy my food more and become a better cook.
