I am No S success story (30lbs lower than before No S), but fell out of the habit for a variety of reasons and have had a LOT of trouble getting back to the ease I used to experience with No S. I have had especial trouble between lunch and dinner.
Recently I discovered that brushing my teeth after lunch sends a clear signal to my stomach that eating is done (Maybe all those years of brushing before bed?), and I have had made it to dinner without snacking even on Tues/Wed (my personally challenging days).
Today (a Wednesday) my 10 year old asked me to taste and give feedback on something she was making for a bake sale. I took a tiny bite... and wanted another big bite. I was about to devour the rest of the dessert that cracked on its way out of the pan when I remembered the toothbrush. After brushing my teeth and drinking a glass of water, my craving was gone. Since this was a flavor craving and not much hunger, I then made it easily to dinner! Hooray!!!
Give tooth-brushing a try!
Unexpected NoS Aid: My TOOTHBRUSH

A few years ago, I participated in a program sponsored by the Brian Wansink site on ways to counteract mindless eating. Brushing your teeth right after a meal was one of the suggestions.
I got a lot of suggestions, but I did hardly any of them! Still, I've done reasonably well with No S. It's the cake. Everything else is icing.
Of, on N days, it's the potatoes. Everything else is gravy.
