There was one really good article, "Quit Fighting with Food" by Peggy Hall. It was about her experiences with food while in the Peace Corps in Morocco.
Some of her habits are contrary to No-S, but overall what she experienced is very similar to No-S. She quotes Evelyn Tribole, author of Intuitive Eating, who says, "this is not a quick-fix approach, but it will help you make peace with food and stop dieting once and for all."Peggy Hall wrote:I had spent most of my early adulthood controlling -- and being controlled by -- what went in my mouth and what didn't. But in Morocco, that sort of struggle seemed impossible. Not only were my old dieting standbys not available, but I was also surrounded by offer upon generous offer to enjoy afternoon tea, share a tagine (stew), or be the guest of honor at the Friday couscous dinner. Out of sheer frustration over not being able to eat (that is, diet) the only way I knew how, I decided to wave the white flag of surrender. I told myself that I would eat what I wanted when I wanted -- even gain 100 pounds if need be -- and then go back on my strict diet once I returned home to the United States. For the time being, I decided, I would quit fighting with food...It was one of the best things that ever happened to me...Yes, I ate whatever I wanted and stopped when I was full. I no longer felt compelled to sneak treats or gorge on forbidden foods because I knew I could have them anytime I wanted...I didn't gain 100 pounds and I didn't lose control. In fact, within days of calling this truce with food, my pants started feeling looser. Miraculously, though I was eating "normally," my body didn't balloon to gargantuan proportions. Quite the opposite, my body delighted in regular foods, eaten at predictable intervals. Slowly, my preoccupation with portion sizes and calorie counts fell by the wayside, and I started to enjoy food without guilt or remorse for the first time in a very long time.
