Everyday Systems

I had 13 green days in a row, then yesterday--BAM! A red day. My youngest son woke up with hives all over his body and a fever and the dr had no idea what was going on. He was suffering all day, I was worried, I didn't go in to work, etc, stress. So I ate some cookies and chocolate covered almonds ...

His concepts work very well with No S.

I love his blog, I'm sure his book is great too. Added to my Amazon wishlist.

Two weekends have passed since my last entry, both of them pretty heavy on the social side... but two pounds more are gone. Slowly but surely!

I never weigh myself the morning after an S-day... I think it leads to ungrounded discouragement, as the weight gain is due to water retention and, er ...

Technically I've stayed these two weeks within NoS limits... but I don't feel that way, because S-days have gone a bit wild.

Thank you for visiting. You both are obviously seasoned NoS dieters, much more successful than I. I hope to learn a lot!

Hello... After two years of being a member and not having posted a single thing, I think it's time to start... just to be a little more conscious about my eating habits...

In my experience, I ALWAYS lose weight when I stick to my "three meals no snacks" routine. It doesn't matter if I eat low-carb ...
