Hi,
Yes, Vanilla No S refers to following the 13 word rules to No S (or 14 if you include the word "sometimes" as Reinhard originally intended.
No Snacks, No Sweets, No Seconds except (sometimes) on days that start with "S."

In multiple past threads before you joined this has been addressed. It's a term that one of the members came up with I believe to refer to the original plan before anyone starts monkeying with the system and trying to do any modifications that they seem to want or need.

It's very much encouraged to follow the basic guidelines for a fairly long (as in months or even more) before you try to tweak your situation. Get those habits down. Period. You will be surprised at how much that helps. You will not get quick results-stay away from the scale if possible and try to normalize your eating patterns. It's wonderfully freeing.

I did a quick search on the boards for "Vanilla No S" and found a couple of threads that may prove helpful.

Also, you may want to download some or all of Reinhard's podcasts available for free on the main site; great quick listens where he covers all aspects of his systems. And it's comforting to hear him talking about it all from his little set up in his home with the kids in the background. I just looked to see which one addresses Vanilla No S. . . Listen to:
"Episode 35: The Mods and Tweaks Trilogy Part I: To Tweak Or Not To Tweak

Want to modify an Everyday System? It's possible -- but risky, as this episode emphasizes. Subtitled: 'In Praise of Vanilla.'"

Hope this helps. And hang in there, both of you. It's a great place to be!
