Everyday Systems

I was watching Jeopardy this evening and one of the contestants had lost 75 lbs by following a radical, fad diet of his own devising: eating less, eating better and exercising.

Imagine!

What a concept!! If it were only that easy.

What a ridiculous plan. If he didn't weigh every bite, count every fat gram, and eat straw twelve times a week, he couldn't have lost weight. I think he was lying....what kind of people do they let on Jeopardy these days anyway?

A few years ago I took off 20 lbs. using WW to monitor, but basically I was doing something similar to NO S. (I never got into all the discussions on lowfat this and non-sugar that and dipping my fork in salad dressing instead of putting the dressing on my salad, etc.) My physician's assistant was praising me and asked what I did. "Ate less and exercised more," I answered. "You're so funny," she said. Truth is I did lots of little things with my meals. I know No S is pretty simple, but the weight losers here would probably have to admit that over a period of time, they are putting thought into just what their three plates were filled with and/or on observing their hunger and satiation. That's okay; it's a relatively natural way of monitoring, and the one I'm counting on in the long run.
