Hi All,
just saw this and I hope I'm not duplicating this but found it supports NoS principles:
Diets That Work: 10 Things They All Have In Common
http://www.marieclaire.com/health-fitne ... -that-work
Note: they say eat regularly and only one nutritionist takes it as meaning meals and snacks but I think it's just letting your body know when it's going to be fed regularly. No Snacks necessary

Reinhard is so right about the spotlight.
I let No-S slide during a time of stress and notice that now that I got ahold of that, holy crimoly do I buy more produce.
Thing is, I'm not really making any real special effort to be "good" or anything. It is the spotlight. For me, it's also a visual thing. It's more of a "real" meal with a lot of colorful veggies. Just spaghetti seems wrong, somehow, but a plate that's half spaghetti and half green salad feels like a good meal.
It's probably a lot to do with how I was reared. We had a salad with dinner every single night when I was a child (my brother and I were little jerks and refused to eat most cooked veggies). So to me, salad means "real" meal.
Which brings it around to cultural traditions being pretty good eating guides!

Marie-Claire is a French journal, and to the French, "snacking" means having an extra small meal (called "goûter" for children and "collation" for adults), which might be a piece of bread and black chocolate for children and an apple+yogourt for health-conscious adults. That's what "snacking" means to a French person. Dr Yoni Freedhoff, whose book I am presently reading on BrightAngel's advice, puts extremely great emphasis on the need to "healthy snack" for weight maintenance. This is what I did before NoS, and I'm still unsure about supressing it having been a good thing, because it makes me eat a lot more at supper.

Most not surprising to the initiated, but appreciated! I still find the "good breakfast" one misleading. The French have basically toast and cafe au lait. The Italians have a sweet pastry and coffee. (Also no protein to speak of with their carbs.) Not what most overweight people think of as a good breakfast, or at least I didn't. I always thought it meant I had to have a big "farm" breakfast. Not many cultures do that, though, slim or otherwise.
I also think it should say "They cut sugar," not "They cut out sugar." Very few people live sugar-free their entire lives. But I'd guess most "dieters" could stand to cut 90% of it, over time.
