One of the lovely things about No-S is that it doesn't limit what you put on your plate each day. So, it can "layer" beautifully with other eating plans. (Unless those eating plans WANT you to eat sugar, snacks, etc!)
I think No-S could actually help you on WW. Here's my thinking.
- Easier to track what you've eaten. When I was on WW, I had to write things down as I ate them, b/c I'd forget. On No-S, I track my menus on my daily check-in, and can do it from memory in the evening. Three meals are memorable; perma-snacking is not.
- Fewer sweets (or sweet-like things) and snacks translates to better-quality and more satisfying meals. When I was on WW, I skimped on meals trying to "save" for treats. As a result, I'd pig out on stuff when I got hungry. If you "spend" your points on real meals, I suspect the whole system will work better.
- Fewer temptations with fake foods. I like the basic WW program, but I think their food line is really icky... but I do have a strong personal bias against fake foods, which I realize not everyone shares. (YMMV on this one.)
- The "flex-points" (or whatever they're calling them this week) work well on S-days.
And although I think No-S is better than WW because it moves out of the deprivation-counting mindset, I do think that WW offers a good level of group support (which helps) and some good information/ideas.
Good luck in supporting your daughter, AND in supporting yourself.
Look forward to hearing from you about how it's working.
