Everyday Systems

Today is day 15. I ate:

- oats with blackberries, walnuts, cinnamon
- kale/beans/mushroom soup and a TJs thai sweet chili veggie burger (no bun)
- 2 chicken sausage and a beer

Felt kind of irritable about COVID - I'm ready to be out and doing things! I did not resort to chocolate though, to make ...

Yes it does! Also having the safety valve of S days makes me feel not too deprived.

Today, Monday, is day 14. 2 weeks of successful NO S!

Over the weekend I finished off my sweet trail mix and vowed not to buy any more. I also finished off some coconut ice cream in my freezer.

For my treat, I bought a scone and a cookie from a bakery, and ate them with great gusto!

Today I ate ...

Day 11 (Friday) was a success, although I was eating dinner with friends who were running late, and I had to have a banana to hold me over and quench my hunger pains and grouchiness. I ate:

- scrambled eggs with toast and spinach
- a chicken sandwich and tater tots
- banana
- burrito bowl, chips ...

Day 10 a success, although I had dreadful sugar cravings. It made me wonder what being an alcoholic or drug addict was like! I'm very happy that more than 20 years ago I adopted a 2-drink maximum (even before I knew about Reinhard's Glass Ceiling) and have stuck to it religiously. Too many ...

Thanks! I aksed my dental hygenist if she let her kids eat sugar and she looked very guilty and tried not to answer!

Day 9 successful but it was a big struggle.

I went to the dentist this morning. My dentist is near a fantastic bakery, so I usually get a treat from the bakery after the dentist. I wanted to get a treat today - I would declare today an S day, because dentist has an S in it, and I only go twice a ...

Thanks, automatedeating. I appreciate the encouragement!

Day 8 successful.

Today I ate:
- A tortilla with eggs, bacon, spinach and salsa. A side of melon.
- A big salad. A TJs Mahi Mahi burger on sandwich bread. A few tortilla chips.
- Chicken and tater tots. A spoon of peanut butter for dessert.

I am enjoying actually feeling hungry and looking forward ...

Weight 142.

Day 7 Successful. (Days 5 and 6 were Saturday and Sunday, so I successfully ate a lot of sugar and felt kind of disgusted with myself).

Today I ate:
- oats with a fresh summer peach on top, with walnuts and cinnamon
- a big salad for lunch with a spoon of peanut butter for dessert
- a ...

Sorry about the frustrating zoom meeting! I have had that happen many times this year. :-(

Also, I wanted to encourage you to consider entering what you PLAN to eat in the morning; then you can edit in the evening if needed but it helps me immensely to consider in the morning how I will eat ...

Day 4 Successful.

Today I ate:
- a hard boiled egg and a banana
- a tortilla with hummus, chicken, spinach, and some french fries
- a mahi mahi burger on sandwich bread and the other half of my TJs yellow curry salad, with chickpeas and tomatoes added

I had the crazy idea that I am doing ...

Hi Gyosho -
A lot of people start with a built-in 4th meal if they find they are often derailed going down to just 3 meals a day. I think it can work well in the beginning as long as it officially part of your daily plan.


Yes that sounds like a good idea. I'm doing ok so far with 3 - aiming ...

I'm going to change my daily check-in to the evening instead of the morning, because it will be easier for me to remember the details of what I ate.

Today (Day 3) I ate:
- oats with blueberries, mango, walnuts and cinnamon
- a tortilla with hummus, chicken and spinach. Tortilla chips on the side ...

Day 2 was successful. My body freaked out at 10 am when it realized it wasn't going to get its usual sweet snack, but I promised it french fries at lunch.

I ate:
- oats with blueberries, peaches, walnuts, cinnamon
- chicken and french fries, a spoon of peanut butter for dessert
- tortilla with egg ...

Day 1 was successful. I felt very virtuous as I packed up my sugary trail mix and put it in a drawer to save for Saturday.

Yesterday I ate:
- oats with peaches, blueberries, walnuts and cinnamon
- a salad with romaine, chicken sausage, sauteed mushrooms and onions, eggplant hummus, and tortilla ...

Hi Everyone,

Today is day 1 of my check-in. I weigh 144 pounds.

I am returning to the No S Diet because my sugar and snacking habits have gotten out of control! I did the Whole 30 diet which was very useful because it showed me I have a dairy allergy, but once off Whole 30, even though now ...

Success on Tuesday! Even though work was very stressful and I CRAVED sugar. I did have some fruit juice.

Success! Even though I had a very garlicky restaurant lunch which gives me horrible sugar cravings. I just brushed my teeth more.

Starting No-S! Goals are:
- Lose that stubborn 5 pounds of excess weight on my thighs (icky!)
- Stop eating SO MUCH SUGAR

Starting weight: 154
Yesterday's sugar intake: very large peanut butter cookie, 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips ( my major source of sugar )

Just want to say that I fell off the No-S diet bandwagon for the lure of low-carb, but it made me miserable!

I have since returned to a modified version of No-S, which incorporates intermittent fasting. My diet is:

breakfast - hemp protein and soy milk (hemp protein has tons of fiber, which keeps ...

I've been doing Shovelglove 5 days a week for a month now, and even with the lightest of sledgehammers (6 pounds) I have developed incredible abs! That spare tire I've carried around for 20 years is finally gone.

Better even than a Jillian Michaels DVD.

Inspired by Reinhard's No S Diet and also by his desire to exercise standing up like a human being, not grovelling on the floor, I bought a 6 lb sledgehammer on Saturday and began Shovelgloving.

I love it! I was sweating in 5 minutes! It felt great!

My question has to do with the speed of the ...

Hi,

I've been on the No S Diet for 6 weeks, and today was able to tuck my shirt back into my jeans - something I have not been able to do for 7 years!

When I told a friend about the diet, and how you predicted .5 lb a week weight loss, my friend said, "Well, that's how you put it on." So true! I ...
