Is it possible to take a plate of food and just graze on it till your next meal?

Please all you pros out there... correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this defeat the whole purpose of the program in terms of what we're supposed to learn about needs vs. wants, portion control, habits in general?

With all good intentions..

On weekends, yes.
On N-days, no way. This is explicitly forbidden by the "No snacks" rule and very bad regarding habit forming. Also it would give off a very sloppy image of yourself. Also "grazing" food is probably less healthy than "real meal" food. Don't do it unless you are really forced to (and even then, eating a mouthful of sandwich every few minutes around lunch time is way better than grazing all afternoon, if you don't have time for a lunch break).

Is it possible to do it? Sure, but not if you want to follow the No S plan and develop good habits, you can live with all of your life.

At least that would be my take on it :shock:
Creating and sustaining the No S habits are the only thing that will take me in the direction I want to go!

Do you feel you have to do that for some reason? Why?
