Counting carbs/calories is a drag. Obsessive scale stepping is a recipe for despair. If you want to count something, "days on habit" is a much better metric. Checking off days on a calendar would do just fine, but if you do it here you get accountability and support. Here's how. Start a new topic in this forum called (say) "Your Name Daily Check In." Then every N day post a "reply" to that topic as to whether you stayed on habit. A simple "<font color="green">SUCCESS</font>" or "<font color="red">FAILURE</font>" (or your preferred euphemism if that's too harsh) is sufficient, but obviously you're welcome to write more if you want. On S-days just register that you're taking an S-day. You don't have to do this forever, just until you're confident you've built the habit. Feel free to check in weekly or monthly or sporadically instead of daily. Feel free also to track other habits besides No-s (I'm keeping this forum under No-s because that's what the vast majority are using it for). See also my <a href="/habitcal/">HabitCal</a> tool for another more formal (and perhaps complementary) way to track habits.

Hi i'm new to this and I was just wondering about weight loss. Has someone lost any amount of weight on this diet? actually I don't really think of this plan as a diet , it's really comman sense which is why I really think I have found a way of life. I can live with this way for the rest of my life. I started the 3 day diet plan again but i keep going back to my old ways because eventually i started to hate this diet. When I read ''DIETS DON'T WORK YOU DO'' I was hit with a light bulb moment, as oprah would say, I really haven't had one of those for a very long time.I'm going to start this way of life tuesday after chirstmas, lets face it there's no way I could start right now! plus I'm due to start any day now so i'm hit with a double wammy!

Diets are a lot of trouble, and then when you go off them, you gain back any weight you lost. With No-S, you just eat your three meals and get on with the rest of your life. "S" also stands for "Simple".
