No Snacks, no sweets, no seconds. Except on Days that start with S. Too simple for you? Simple is why it works. Look here for questions, introductions, support, success stories.
It often is never enough!! Being in this diet trap for most of my life I know the dreaded feeling of stepping on the scale and finding it settle on a weight that I am not happy with. Following the NoS plan (staying clear of the diet word) has put me in a different frame of mind. Today was the day that I had set for my WI. I was nervous (even though my clothes fit differently and I feel better).
Well, this morning, after my second set of 21 successful days I am down another 3 pounds which makes it 9 pounds over 6 weeks. For those of you saying how could that happen, I do have over 60 pounds to lose so it may be much different than being close to your 'happy' weight.
The most successful part is that I don't feel deprived or on a diet (for the most part). A few days ago I went to dinner with friends and had a lovely plate of trout, wild rice, veg and salad (all on the same plate, aren't they clever). My friends were ordering decadent desserts and not only did I not order one, I honestly felt fine enjoying my coffee while not having dessert. That being said, I do enjoy my S days although I do try hard not to be an idiot (at least not both days ).
Keep at it folks, our bodies will thank us.
You're right Laff - this plan has to be the happiest diet ever invented. No guilt, no grimness, no gritting of teeth. I've noticed that even on S days I tend to only want the three meals although I treated myself to a Kit Kat with lunch and ice cream after dinner. Befor NoS I'd eat five Kit Kats mid afternoon. (They were supposed to be for a "one a day" plan but I ate 'em all ) Now I just bought one this morning in the serene knowledge that it would be my after lunch dessert. Very nice it was, too, but it was enough. I don't think I could have eaten another four, even if they were there, but I wasn't taking any chances
Don't wait for the storm to be over - learn to dance in the rain.
And your trout meal sounds lovely. I love how No-S has allowed me to ENJOY good food again. It all tastes so much better without a side order of guilt!
