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.

:D I have been on the NoS Diet for 6 days of wonderfulness!!! I have had no problems, I feel like I have been released from a self impossed prison of low carb foods. Now I make a fried egg sandwich with bacon and cheese and eat half of it, orange juice and a banana and coffee. After that I can sure wait till lunch without a snack. I enjoyed every morsel of food (I love to cook everything from scratch) and now I can enjoy an array of foods without guilt. My weight has gone down one pound, even with eating bread. Thank God for this plan.
