Thanks, Reinhard, for bringing me back to sensible eating

When I was a kid (50's, 60's and 70's--yeah, I could be y'all's momma) we ate 3 meals a day. Your mother would usually chase you out of the kitchen should you even show your face in there other than to help do dishes, or set the table. There was NO snacking, at least not in MY house,growing up. Our only recourse was to go outside and play (GASP! Exercise!) till mom called. I was THIN. And remained thin until I gained a few pounds as a young adult---from being sedentary--- and tried my first DIET. I think it was the Scarsdale. Who knows--there've been so many.
I had convinced myself that being a 'grazer' (self-indulgence-talk for PIGGING OUT ALL DAY) was the way to go for my hypoglycemia, which really only happens because I eat poorly, NOT infrequently.
Your No-S-diet harkens back to good old fashioned common sense eating. I love it. And I'm not becoming hypoglycemic between meals. And my clothing is getting looser.
My mom is now 70, and has always been a slim healthy weight (unlike me) and has always eaten----3 meals a day, ---and taken walks. Duh. Thanks for reminding me how I stayed thin before.
