Remember a long time ago the motto was "no snacking because it would spoil your appetite." Mothers worried that their kids would not eat come dinner. Now the snacks are indeed heavily promoted. I remember my own mother not allowing us to eat after school because she was afraid we would not eat dinne...

Not eating sweets results in eating more fruits.
I have noticed that when I don't eat sweets I eat more fruits and they taste a lot sweeter. I am talking about eating fruit as part of a meal and not as a snack. Eating fruits is a challenge for me and I really do think they are nature's food. We are meant to eat them. A chocolate bar is much easier...

Hello to bluebunny, hotmailmamma, Jenenglish, Mimi and Reinh

Thanks for the welcome Winnie96 and Reneew. Winnie - that is exactly how I used to think when I semi did this plan - since I it would be 11 o'clock at night before I would finally get my dinner (if I had to prepare it myself) I would say to the heck with it and just get a big bad meal.

Newbie to No S Diet first post
I was on Amazon looking at a gazillion diet books (some find their way to Malaysian skyscrapers but I end up on Amazon looking at diet books). The diet books were awful, awful, awful. Eat all you want except for....the list is endless. UNTIL I notice the S diet. I was not planning to buy but.... Thi...
