I just found No S and wil try it. In reading the check-in posts, I saw the term "virtual plating" or something like that more than once. What is it?

Hi and welcome!

Okay.. the idea here is to stick to three meals a day...
On plates....

But sometimes life doesn't always hand you a plate..
For instance if you decide during the day you want a pear..
Just make sure that you leave enough space on your meal plate to accomodate the pear...
Eating on the run isn't really what we want to strive for, but sometimes that's what happens for some people..
The idea is to "virtually" plate that pear in your mind and leave space for where it would have fit on your next meal plate..
Then it's not really a snack or something like that....
Just another way to stay accountable...

Good luck!
Peace and Love,
