I started this diet on Monday and i feel like this could be the answer for me.. I had become very much a yo yo dieter, losing weight quickly through quite strict ketosis dieting (no carbs basically) but then seeing it go back on again quite quickly too and developing very much a diet or binge mindset.
The last straw was christmas when, after losing a stone in the 2 months before i put it all on again and in a crazy, eat as much as I can stuff in while I can kind of way.
I realised that I can't do that kind of dieting again.
What I like about No S is that you're not on a diet or off a diet.. any treats just have to wait until the weekend.
I am the world's worst evening nibbler. I used to say i only eat once after dinner.. but it's a continuous feast from 7 pm til I go to bed. Actually even after I'd gone to bed I would still eat whilst in bed reading.. and even sometimes fall asleep then wake up and eat more.
Well since I started no S I've not done any evening snacking. I have allowed myself to have a small supper of something healthy as I'm so used to eating a lot in the evenings that it's too much from having a relatively early dinner to get through to breakfast. But I sit and eat at the table and it's very much a (mini) meal. Hopefully in time I will reduce /eliminate this too.
I really hope this can be an end to the years of yo yo ing and my way to a healthy relationship with food. I'm about a stone overweight but if if it has to come off slowly to be permanent, so be it. I keep thinking that i can't let this latest weight gain be in vain, so if I come to a better relationship with food and stop the insanity of binging and dieting, it'll be worth it.
