sherlock, I go on the basis that I can't fail at anything on vacation, so the worst I can get is a yellow (for No S, exercise or glass ceiling). I can, however, limit the wall of yellows by trying to get greens throughout - so if I do some extra exercise (like going for a long walk or managing some ...

I had a knee injury and on my habitcal exercise tracker I marked it as yellow for a week, and then after that I tried to do *some* exercise, just not leg related (so upper body, or going out for a gentle walk that wouldn't put too much pressure) and even if it wasn't for my full time marked it green...

Afternoon, about 2ish for me. I have the advantage that I am a SAHM and can be more flexible about times. 2pm is great because it picks me up and stops me having that afternoon slump around 3ish that I get otherwise. I also use it a bit as a reward for having done all my other chores before I pick t...

But I am told, it also works to leave the water in a jug in your fridge for 24 hours. It apparently "evaporates" out of the water. Disturbing. Someone I know who keeps fish told me this, although they have since switched to using a neutralizing product for all the other crap that's apparently in ta...

I'd add the second sugar, then gradually reduce it over a period of time if it bothers you. I currently drink 3 (yes THREE :oops: ) sugars in my tea (no milk, as if that excuses it). I don't drink masses amount of tea and I still remind myself that it's better than drinking cans of coke or something...

Have to add a "me too" about energy and mood. I hurt my ankle and knee a couple of weeks ago and took 5 days off exercise and a couple of weeks of only very light exercise and my mood plummeted . I felt really low and lethargic, it was horrible. Started exercising normally again this week and alread...

Totally agree about tasting food properly now. Just realised this morning that I was channelling any hunger feelings into planning the next meal and really looking *forward* to that meal. (Lunch today is going to be soft boiled eggs, marmite soldiers and a banana, by the way :) ) Best of all, I'm en...

I take three teaspoons of sugar in my black tea :oops: It's not something I particularly want to change. I have tried before and then just ended up hating tea, which seemed a shame. I do try and limit my tea intake to 2-3 cups a day, though, which I think is fair compromise. I was quite relieved wit...

The Simple Pleasures of No S
When i started this, 3 weeks ago, I thought it would be chocolate and cake my weekend craving, and I have to confess that the Terry's chocolate orange left over from Easter that's waiting for me in the fridge for after the kids are in bed does bring a smile to my face. However, there's one weekend p...

Regarding the blood type diet, my understanding of it was that the science was not sound so I wouldn't worry too much if that breakfast is something you enjoy (sounds quite tasty to me actually!) http://skepdic.com/bloodtypediet.html is a little brusque in places, but has a good explanation of why t...

This is something I struggle with too, massively. I'm on about week 3 now, and I've found that I've just started to feel hungry in the mornings at breakfast time - I had a massive evening snacking problem before, so I'm sure that was a major part of the problem. Mondays I still feel I'm force feedin...

Thanks! Lots of food for thought in those threads and looking forward to seeing your polished system when you launch it. I was giving this some thought yesterday and may well use this as my May resolution (May is a big spending month as I have my 2 sons' birthdays and my husband's birthday in quick ...

Thank you all. I went for a couple of pieces of fruit, as I had eaten some of the terrible meal, marked it as green and written it off to a learning experience! I was pretty hungry this morning and had a bigger breakfast, but not excessively so. Reinhard: I see what you're saying about 1 plate makin...

What do you do when you make a terrible meal?
Doesn't happen very often, but it would happen on the 2nd day of doing No S! I made a *terrible* meal this evening. New recipe, big disaster. Couldn't force myself to eat more than a few mouthfuls of it, nor could the kids. Obviously replaced the kids food with something else so they don't go to bed...
