My modification to NO S is to have a small amount (few bites) of dessert daily after a meal. I need the same thing over and over and over daily as far as routine/ritual goes to make it.

During Christmas and Hanukkah the same daily practice works for me. I eat my 3 meals and I have a little dessert ...

Wanted to revive this topic for new people and myself and all of us.

How many of you have done the stomach hunger, growl, eat only when hungry,intuitive eating diet/programs/WOE and it didn't work out. Do you find yourself thinking you still want try it? Did you think it was easy, impossible, or ...

So I have been on every diet known to man and I am super excited to try this one. Sounds so simple.. It freaks me out that I can eat white bread and yummy sauces and have sugar in my coffee every morning.. but i'm going to do it.. Any advice for me will help. I love that the guy doing this is a ...

Because the "I" is really a divided being. There's the rational "I," and the appetitive "I," that wants something quite different. It's like you're siamese twins with a ravenous wild boar. And the way you train your appetite is the same way, basically you'd train a real wild animal: be clear and ...

Being Type 1 diabetic I can't make it on 2 meals all the time. Need 3.

I don't think the vacay will be all that hard. Just look at it like this is how you now eat. 3 times a day. No snacks. Have what you want at those meals. Easy

Prior to finding NO S and these message boards and the book I had done NO S for about five years in the 90's and had awesome success with it. I lost weight, kept it off, and my blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure was all good. I ate a few bites of desserts once or twice a day during that ...

In my case being Type 1 (juvenile) diabetic it's sooooo much easier to control my blood sugar at good levels and not need extra insulin when I eat 3 meals a day no snacks and have a bite of dessert foods after a meal, and I mean a bite or two or three.

It has become very evident to me that snacks ...

Intuitive eating is a lovely fairy tale.
But Prince Charming is never coming with a glass slipper,
and an obese person will never become normal weight by listening to their body.

I've always felt better right at first on all these koo-koo for ccoco puffs plans and diets.

I've always wound up not making it on any of them.

I have just recently moved my meals up to later times. Breakfast is coming more around 10 and lunch 2 or so. I eat dinner around 7 or even later at night so this is working real well for me right now.

O don't always care to engage in anti diet "this or that", but it is ironic (I guess) that his thread appears just as I tried, last weekend to start "The Warrior Diet" for a change of pace.

3-0-7 girl

Kat, I so agree with you. I am the same way now. I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner end of story. Reasonable size meals on a regular plate. I am not waiting for growls or major hunger signals.

Ya know what is the miracle of all this? I am eating less this way than I ever did when I tried to eat from ...

3-0-7 girl

I feel it's important that I keep on keeping on with NO S. If there is a non perfect day then there just is, I have to get back on schedule the very next meal not the next day or next week.

3-0-7 girl

Very interesting. Where did you learn about the Novena diet? I'm real curious.

3-0-7 girl

This is just my way of getting it going and keeping it going, but it may help you to hear about it.

I eat 3 meals a day zip in between 7 days a week. I do the sweets in small units after lunch or dinner or both. When I say small I mean like three or four bites or a mini cookie or mini dessert or ...

OK, 2012 is gonna pass just like 2011 did. If we're on the NO S diet we'll lose some weight. It may be 1/2 what we want to lose but at the end of the year we'll be thinner than we were. We will have made progress in the right direction.

If we don't do NO S, 2012 is gonna pass by anyway. If we ...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! for the Jewish holidays!!!

I think meals being big for a while when getting started or restarted on NoS is good thing. It's sort of a security blanketing behavior to make sure we can make it from meal to meal. The body is going to become reassured of getting fed 3 times a day and then amounts will come into line with the ...

3-0-7 girl

Just wanted to say that this works great for people that are Juvenile or Type 1 diabetic too. Don't think you can't do No S because of that, you can, it will be awesome.

What I do in between meals if I have a blood sugar low is to drink OJ.

I do the 3 meals one plate of food, no seconds, and a ...

I drink diet coke, water, coffee. I also drink OJ between meals if I have low blood sugar because I am juvenile diabetic. That doesn't happen very often.

I sometimes mix egg white protein powder with milk and pour that over cereal or oatmeal. Really gives it a more stick-to-it-tivness

Hunger I acknowledge and then proceed to ignore it. I am juvenile diabetic so if it's a blood sugar low I drink some OJ. That pretty much sums it up for me LOL.

Why don't you try 4 small meals a day with some protein at every meal. I have found that if I eat enough protein at breakfast, 20-30 grams, I do much better the rest of the day. :D

3-0-7 girl

Those three meals taste so much better than they every did before! It's also good to know that if I want to accelerate my weight loss, I can choose low carb or low calorie, but it's all within the confines of No S. That may mean two "healthy" meals and meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner ...
