I'm the only one in my family who is doing No S, although my DH has lost 5 lbs without trying since I restarted in January ... He has really cut back on nighttime snacking so I'm guessing this is why.
My slender 7 year old
does typically have a small, healthy afternoon snack (technically could be considered a planned 4th mini meal, I guess) and both DD & DH may have a sweet treat, like a small homemade cookie, in their lunch or after dinner some weekdays.
We continue to eat our meals together, at the table, whenever we are home and we put an end to permasnacking long before I discovered No S since, as a toddler, DD would fill up on snacks and not eat at mealtimes otherwise.
I can say that out of all of the various diets I've been on -- low carb for 2 years, calorie counting, Weight Watchers, etc -- No S is the only one that my DH genuinely
likes. We are eating normal, yummy food. It isn't a big pain if we are guests at somebody else's home and the like. Nothing is forbidden and we have treats on a regular basis. I am modeling healthy habits that I feel
good about passing down to my daughter ... and I can't really ask for more than that.
