Parmesan encrusted sole in lemon butter sauce with spinach orzo at Macaroni Grill. Delicious! I've never been a big fan of Macaroni Grill before, but I could be now.

Anyway, before No S I would have either 1) eaten the sole, but been racked by guilt and castigated myself all the way home for having no willpower, or 2) eaten something I didn't want but perceived to be lower calorie, and been resentful all the way home because I can't eat what I like the way other people can. Either way, I would've ended the lunch on a bad note. The No S way is MUCH better. Thank you, Reinhard!

Isn't No-S grand?

My daughter and I had much the same experience last night. She's on a "diet" -- and I've been talking up No-S. We went to another Italian chain and she decided to have what she wanted rather than something low in calories. She enjoyed her meal a lot!

Isn't the freedom to enjoy food a delight?

Just being able to eat a good ol' peanut butter and jelly sandwich if I want without any guilt is good enough for me!

Yes, isn't it great? For my lunches, I used to eat a frozen meal and maybe some fruit, so I could stay under 400 calories. Now, I'll eat a full sandwich, some veggies and dip, and a couple of small portions of fruit (as long as it fits on the plate). It's SO much more enjoyable!

It IS wonderful! This is as close to normal eating as I'll probably ever come, and it's pretty darn close!

I just finished a BLT with fresh tomatoes from my garden....YUM! And it tastes so much better without that sidedish of guilt!

Enjoy!!!

Janie, A BLT sounds SO good! I just may have to copy you. LOL! Except I don't have a garden, so I can't do garden fresh tomatoes. Oh well.

Summer tomatoes make all the heat and sweating of August worthwhile! My favorite thing is Paula Deen's tomato pie--YUM! BLT is wonderful, too, or even just sliced tomatoes on white bread with mayo and salt and pepper. OMGosh, I can't wait til morning!!
