size of plate
I am sort of new to this no S diet. What size plate do you use for your three meals on N days? Also is it the same size plate you would use on S days?

Snowflake,
the size of my plate varies, depending on what I am eating and how much. but WHATEVER the size I make sure that it is just one

Welcome Snowflake!
I am fairly new at this also. Since i am trying to make this life style change, it is easier for me to follow the same routine.
I use a 9" plate for all of my meals. I treat my three MEALS on Non S days just like I treat my three MEALS on S Days. I fill one 9†plate and eat whatever I put on that one 9†plate.
On S Days, after I finish my plate of food, I wait to see if I am really still hungry or if I just WANT more food because it tastes good. Either way, hungry or WANT food, I make a conscious decision, I CHOOSE whether to have more food or not. Of course, on S Days I can snack and I can have sweets but I again make a conscious decison to CHOOSE to eat them.
The good thing about this Snowflake is that you really can't mess up, you just start again the next day.

I call this a No S “Thingyâ€. I have never been on a successful “Dietâ€. My brain thinks a "Thingy" is a new way of eating food, a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

Don't overthink No S. It's very simple. Its simplicity is the key to long-term habit change, which in turn yields success.
I train pretty aggressively, so when I am hungry, I load my plate high. But I still only eat one plate.
Plate size and plate amounts are tweaks that should only be a concern after the habits of No S are well established. In my mind, there are far more useful and important tweaks to make first, e.g. balancing portions on the plate.
