In August, I started a 2-mile per day running habit. Even though I am a runner, I've found that I haven't stuck to a regular running routine unless I'm training for a race. So I decided to do a tiny run every day, first thing, 6 days/week. Since then, I've run more than 60 miles. I like my runs, and I like that I get it done before work. Step one.
Past attempts at regulating my diet:
* When I've tried to cut back sugar, I have filled the food vaccuum with salty snacks.
* When I've tried food logs, I resent having to do all this work. My job involves fundraising and accounting and sweating the details, and I use up my energy there.
* When I've tried to cut back meals, I have made my family sad, or myself guilty.
* When I've tried to cut out types of food, I've ended up returning to my omnivore ways.
So, what I love so far about No S, from my vast experience of one week, is that it blends into my family life, requires no logs or counting, gives me a framework for handling sugar, and encourages me to not think about food between meals.
I will check in at the end of October with a weigh in.
