But I thought snack foods are a when not a what so couldn't you just eat "chips, crisps, popcorn,etc." during your meals?But I also think that much (if not most) of the fat people consume is in the form of snack foods (chips, crisps, popcorn, etc.) and sweets (candy bars, ice cream, pop tarts, Capt'n Crunch, cake, etc.), which are restricted by the No S Diet (these also tend to be the worst kinds of fat).

Re: Snack Foods Question
I suppose you could, but most people don't consider these "meal-type" foods. You'd probably also feel pretty terrible physically, before too long. In most cases, No-S tends to steer people in the direction of more healthful, nourishing fare, as the body is limited to just three opportunities to feed itself a limited amount of food per day.nediswizard wrote:But I thought snack foods are a when not a what so couldn't you just eat "chips, crisps, popcorn,etc." during your meals?
Yeah, I mean you could have 3 plates of:
B: Donuts
L: Bag of croutons
D: Peanuts, potato chips, and, and ice cream
But in reality there's no way you can sustain that. I couldn't do that for 2 meals without feeling horrible.
I have to say though, I see nothing wrong with starting an S day out with a couple donuts. As long as it's not every day!

I sometimes do this too. Sometimes I do a half sandwich, small handful of pretzels or chips, and a large piece of fruit cut-up.noni wrote:When I have a sandwich, I'll add a small amount of chips to my plate. It's No S OK.
Whether you have them or not, they are restricted though--you can't just snack on them whenever or eat them all day on No-S (except on S days)--so you'll naturally eat fewer chips etc...

Lol sounds like a great day to me! Seriously, though, there's nothing wrong with doing that on occasion. Meals aren't meant to always be perfect studies in balanced nutrition--where's the fun in that? Especially when you can still achieve your fat loss goals by eating snacks and treats with your meals (it worked for me! ).liveitup wrote:Yeah, I mean you could have 3 plates of:

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

The second you overcomplicate it is the second it becomes the thing for which it is a corrective.

Oh I do the popcorn for lunch often when we go to a movie. I cannot realistically resist movie popcorn so I just make it my lunch.
The point is, don't stress about the details too much. 3 plates, no snacks is the most important thing to me. Get that down and tweak later if it's not working for ya. I lost 45 lbs doing this so id say it works just fine!
