I've been on No S for a week and a half now. I've lost about 4 pounds and my appetite is under control for the most part. I have a great health food store that I go to that squeezes organic juice and makes organic fruit smoothies. I've decided to allow the juice or smoothie to make up at least one of my meals for the day during the week - I might think about two at some point.
I know the point of this diet is to eat whatever you want within the limitations, but I feel great when I drink/eat the juice and smoothies.
I guess the motivation is convience, but also wellbeing on top of losing weight.
Anybody else tried smoothie/juice for one of their meals during the day? I've also found that soup can be very filling, nutrious and simple to prepare.

I do a smoothie for many breakfasts (nearly every day during warm weather) and soup just about every day for lunch -- year 'round.

I guess I got really tired of smoothies several years ago so I just don't do them anymore. Not to say I would never do them again. I love soups ... I do do soups as a meal and often without any additions depending on how "hearty" the soup is ... if I was doing smoothies and putting protien in them I might do those for a meal without any additions as well.
I think it is really important to be flexible. I tend to get into food ruts so it is a good idea to be open minded and just move through your tastes and needs as they change.
If you do this for awhile you might find you want something different later... or not
