First week at the forum
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 12:31 am
Hello and greetings to all!
I have been aware of NoS for some time now and actually have a certain amount of success under my belt. I've lost about 6 kilos (13 American pds.) in the past eating NoS style and began to feel much better physically and emotionally. Then, through stress and sickness I finally stopped the plan. Well, two days ago, on Monday, I committed myself to be NoS compliant again, all the way. As a total, I've lost 11 kilos (24 American pds.) since starting out with NoS in June 2011.
Last Monday I posted for the first time on this forum, or any forum, and I have to admit, I am a bit antsy. I've been reading through the posts and am impressed with the friendliness, support and also the wisdom I've come across. And you NoS marathoners, I have so much respect for you.
The phrase comes to mind, "when I grow up I wanna be like you."
You people really do care
So I finally said, "The days of my lone-rangering are over. I wanna be part of this community."
By the way, these last two days were green all the way.
What I've learnt this time around, in the past I have been too strict with the allowed sweet foods on N-days because I was afraid, if I start eating any I can't stop. But then I often had (real) sweets during the week, feeling sooo deprived.
So, Monday and today I, e.g., ate some raisin toast, Zwieback and mini croissants (a little sweet) at the end of some of the meals. Fruit is also a good choice for me. I also make sure I eat what I really like. All this keeps the feeling of deprivation at bay, as far as the "No sweets" principle during the week is concerned. I don't have a lot of problems with the other two NoS principles any more.
I guess, everybody has to find out for him/herself what works for their body and body chemistry.
Hopefully I don't bore anybody here; am just excited about this new insight. Maybe I can even help someone with these ideas.
I am glad to finally join this forum.
And, many thanks to Reinhard for not keeping this genious moderate way of eating to himself but making it accessible to the world, and to me!
