Starting NoS after many lapsed years

[Newbroom]

Hi there. I’m not sure if these threads are still working. But I need to start noSing again. I did it many years ago and it was so brilliant. But then got out of the habit and seduced by the alternative diets 5:2, low carb etc etc. but I have succeeded at none of these. My spirit is very low, so I have decided to have one more serious NoS attempt. I hope there is still some supportive community here? I am prediabetic, nearly 70, have inflammatory arthritis, heartburn, breathlessness and fatigue. Yes, I am a total crock!!! But I am determined to make a change now, while I still can. I am 14st, and need to - slowly - lose weight and stop being a slave to sugary food etc.
I want to see my granddaughter grow up and enjoy my retirement. I start tomorrow, 1st July. Wish me luck if anyone is out there.
I will do straightforward Nos, but in a 10 hour eating window. I need to rest my liver and pancreas!!
So here goes

Good luck, nos works well with low carb and IF. I'm sure you will get things under control. Small changes you can maintain will get you there.

Yes, some of us are still here! No S can make a big dent in your issues, but you may have to be stricter in your food choices since I am sure you want to arrest the development of your health issues and even reverse them. Vanilla No S is not designed for that, but with mods, you can go a long way.

Did you see my post about the most effective motivations for long term success! You have one of them in spades!

I will send you a private message as well.

Hi, welcome back and all the best.

You say you haven't succeeded at other diets. Then you are comfortably with the majority of people who also have been failed by all the diets they have tried.

To my mind, it's diets and dieting that are the failures, not the people who try them.

I see NoS as one way to make permanent habit changes aimed at moderate eating.This is the opposite of dieting, which is all about temporary food restrictions.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

The boards are still going, but sadly neglected (by me). I keep hoping I"ll have time to tidy them up (or at least convincing one of my children to!) but haven't yet been able to. I am thankful, however, that a core contingent has been finding them useful and keeping them alive.

We do have a facebook group which is more active if that is something that might interest you:

(I have no love for FB, but it's much easier for me to maintain -- I barely have to do anything.)

As one of the core contingent I am grateful that you are still keeping this site going
