Everyday System for Nutrition?
This is mentioned on the NoS page, and I was curious as to whether it is in the works. I have had a decent time with NoS, and am wondering how to tackle the nutritional nuts and bolts.
I'm still learning No S, but I've wondered about this also and would be interested in hearing input from the "experienced" gang!

Quitting is not an option...
If you start to slip, tie a knot and hang on!
Remember that good enough is... good enough.
Strive for progress, not perfection!

Don't know if Reinhard is working on it, but here's my personal system (which I think is pretty good).
Include protein, carb (preferably complex) and fruit/veg at every meal.
For dinner and lunch, veg/fruit needs to be 1/2 the plate; lean protein 1/4; complex carb 1/4. For breakfast, I just include at least one fruit and don't worry about proportions the same way.
Obviously, this gets fudged a little when I have combination entrees - pasta with meat and vegetables. But it's a decent general guideline for proportions.
The other rule is "eat different things." Yes, I could eat broccoli every meal, but rotating my veggies gives me a greater range of nutrients.
Oh, and there's one more "rule" (thanks to Michael Pollen): Eat food. (As opposed to "edible food products," which are not real food.)

Jiggapayne, if you want simple, here's Michael Pollen's advice:
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
I love it.
That's where I got the distinction between "food" and "food-like edible products" - which I'd kind of made in my head, but he articulated so well.

After giving Vanilla No-S a good solid go for 5 months, not really losing any weight, and being constantly tormented by crashing blood sugar, I've adapted the program a bit (keeping the core: develop good habits, have simple firm rules, etc)
Here"s my "Chocolate No-S:"
1) No Empty Calories
2) No Eating after Dinner
(except S days, sometimes)
The no empty calorie rule has really helped-- during the week I just don't eat anything that is not nutritious.
