Everyday Systems

I did Atkins prior to my wedding many years ago in an effort to lose the weight that I had gained in college. I jokingly tell people that low-carb dieting caused me to lose the will to live, and while it's an exaggeration, there is a kernal of truth in it. It felt like all the joy of eating had been ...

Do you exercise? I find that even with NoS, my weight will creep up to a bit higher than where I'm comfortable if I don't do some kind of vigorous exercise most days of the week (for me, it's 40 minutes of riding my bike outside, and plus some yoga and walking the dog).

I started NoS in September 2008, and it was the best thing for me. Like you, I lost about 8 pounds in 2-3 months, which was all I wanted to lose.

This is my first post on this forum, although I'm not new to No S. I recently had the opportunity to plug No S on another forum that I frequent (www.videofitness.com). I received a private message from someone inquiring about my experience with No S, and I wrote up a little something for that person ...
