Re: Pocast #83: The No S Diet 2024
Thank you for this review and summary of No-S. I have decided to make another attempt at turning this into a habit and I enjoyed the return to the "why" I liked this approach when I first tried it 10 years ago. I may even pick up another copy of the book.

I'm back because I've been out of control with my eating for a long time and have come to realize that I need structure. 3 meals a day, with treats on weekends and special days...that's a fairly simple set of rules. I'm fully expecting some wild S-days to begin with, then I'm hoping they'll calm ...

I think that in July I am going to try to stick with just three meals a day, but have a sweet with meals IF I want one, even on S-days. One of my biggest downfalls on S-days is the between-meal snacking. I'd like to try to get some control over that. The times that I'll relax this rule are on S-day ...

Yesterday my boyfriend worked the later shift (the shop is supposed to close at 7, but they have to stay until all the cars have been worked on) and came home around 7:50. Sometimes when this happens we'll just eat separately, but we had decided to eat together last night. Since this is a lot later ...

I am hoping to be better prepared to face this holiday season than last year. I have more time of being on habit behind me, and more knowledge about how much I dislike eating too much now and what treats are worth having. I think it will help that I am not traveling far for either Thanksgiving or ...

I did decide to make it an NWS day. The moving company called a bit after their truck was supposed to show up to let me know that the truck assigned to my move had broken down (just one more thing to go wrong!) and they changed the move to Saturday. So, after all morning of moving the small stuff ...

So the past few evenings have been good. My boyfriend and I are both in my studio apartment right now, waiting for our new apartment to be ready, and in the past this would have had sent me to the kitchen in search of cookies and candy bars to help with my anxiety. Instead, because of No-S, I have ...

I often relax in the evenings or on weekend mornings after breakfast with a book and a cup of tea. I drink tea without any sugar or milk or anything like that added to it, but I do have several varieties of flavored tea and I don't see anything wrong with that, or with a small cup of hot chocolate ...

The last two evenings have been extremely easy for me. I guess the No-S habits have become so ingrained that my body seems to be saying "No food after dinner? Sure, no problem." I do often drink some tea or seltzer in the evenings while watching TV, but not eating along with the drinks is one thing ...

I've been feeling a little lost with my eating recently. Every time I think I can handle a modification of the rules I end up going overboard with it. So I'm going to go with 21 days of Vanilla No- S, no mods, and taking Labor Day as an S- day. It's time to get back to the basics of what has really ...

I took an S-day yesterday because I donated blood and decided that was reason enough to let myself have a couple of extra treats if I wanted them. After the donation itself I had a small bag of pretzels with water and some Oreos, and then the only other item that was really an "S" was a scoop of ice ...

I did something a little unusual with my Chinese take-out last night. I usually get a combination that includes an entrée, rice, and an egg roll. It's always a lot of food, but because it's in one dish I've counted it as one plate. Last night I was starting to eat my sweet and sour chicken when I ...

Thanks, Oolala!
I baked some cookies this past Sunday and ate some afterwards while putting most of them in the freezer. For some reason the chocolate chip cookies tasted different than they usually do from that recipe. Either something's changed in my taste or else I did something different that I ...

So after seeing the scale this morning, I confirmed the idea in my head that I need to get back to basic Vanilla No-S. It seems like my hardest days are Wednesdays and Fridays, so those are times when I'll need to really think about what I'm doing. No-S is such a good way to manage my food intake ...

I'm taking today as an S- day because of a train trip. I decided to use some of my rewards points and go to Chicago, returning tomorrow with about an 8 hour layover there. (I've been there before, the main point of the trip is being on two trains that I haven't been on before). I don't expect to do ...

I feel like i've had way too much food over the past several days. Maybe it's time to just shift back to vanilla No- S for awhile, with no mods. I have the best of intentions when I try to allow myself some leeway on N days, but i've come to realize that two days a week of relaxed eating habits is ...

Yesterday was a red day. I was fine with three meals, and then after dinner I are a couple of Hershey's miniatures. That would have been fine under my current mod, but then I baked a box of brownies and ate three of them. They were good, but it was too much for an N- day. Today i've had two more ...

I've done well the past couple of weeks with three longer aerobic workouts. Last week it was two videos and an hour on the treadmill in the apartment complex fitness center. I've already done one for this week, and will probably do another one tonight. I've allowed myself sweets on N-days just a ...

Hi, oolala. Thanks for dropping in!
Saturday was a pretty good S-day for me. I had three meals with no snacks outside of meal time, and my one sweet was a small peanut butter cup sundae with vanilla ice cream. On Sunday I had a chocolate bar with lunch and some cookies in the evening, along with ...
