My S days were not overly wild or anything, but I do remember being thankful that Monday was just around the corner and the extra food would soon be gone and I would be feeling much better with 3 meals/day for 5 ...

Hi! I haven't checked in forever, but need to come back for some accountability. I did vanilla No S for 10 months but the stress of the holiday season led me back to food craziness and calorie counting. Thankfully I only stayed on that crazy train for about a month, but it's been a tough time ...

krawford13 - I have gone through something similar just a month ago. I went back to counting calories for about 30 days. It made me absolutely crazy. It was a great reminder for me how amazing No S is. Simple, normal, and completely natural. I've been doing it since Feb. 2015.

Glad you found your ...

Sorry to hear you had that response, but it is a normal response from your body if you skip meals. Like oolala53, I had the same reaction. No S is the middle way, restricting is one extreme and over eating is the other.
