Any Salt Tooth's??
I was wondoring if anyone else has came across this problem. I am not particularly that fond of eating sweets. Every once in a while I do, but I never crave them. I don't even like choclate.
I was wondoring if maybe we could include "salts" on the NO S. My cravings are more for potato chips and crackers and things like that. And trust me, I know that is what causes my weight to stay on. Has anyone else taken these things out along with sweets?

ACK! No chocolate?! LOL.
I crave sweets AND salt-but it gets better with time. I don't crave either nearly as much as I used to!
I would maybe try to reduce portions first, because you're already probably cutting out a significant amount if you're No-Essing. But have what you want on S-days! Thats what they are for. And remember the sometimes part-sometimes that's hard for me (bad pun )
Good luck!

I prefer salty foods (nutty ones), but I don't see them as a problem in this context. If you eat them as part of a meal (fitting them on the plate) then they're not a problem and if you want them outside mealtimes then they're already covered by the no snacking rule.
Having said that, cutting down on salt is generally a good idea.

I am was addicted to both sweet and salty and for me No S solves the problem. I am not allowed sweets or snack during the week and if I really want nuts, crisps, pretzels I can have a handful as part of a meal - pleasure without the pain and gain.

Any salt tooths?
I have salty snack things as part of a meal occasionally, and have found that for me doing so stops them from being a desirable forbidden food.
I don't want to eat as much of such food as I used to. A little bit is enough. I usually put a helping in a small bowl or ramekin, which cuts down on the amount I eat.
My tastes have gradually changed and become healthier as a result of No S-ing, which is a great bonus.
You will find by trial and error what works for you. Good luck!
