Hi - me again.
Just had some thoughts about the No S diet concept of going back to a more natural or traditional way of eating - i.e. before we all started pigging out on sugar, e numbers and hydrogenated fats LOL
It also got me thinking about how other diet plans out there seem to go against natural / traditional eating habits. For example, I was reading some diet tips recently about food combining, which essentially said you shouldn't combine carbs with protein. To me this seems to defy what feels almost instinctive e.g. that some foods just "go" together, like rice & beans, peanut butter on toast, or meat & potatoes if you're a meat eater etc. My understanding is that certain combinations (e.g. rice & beans) help provide a better spectrum of amino acids too - which may be why we instintively like these combinations? So to me the food combining thing just didn't appeal despite some blurb about how it can do magical things to your metabolism etc.
Other diet plans out there seem to feature similar illogicalities IMO, whereas No S feels logical and sensible.
Just some of my thoughts on the subject

Amen! Diets like that can make you CRAZY!
That's what I like so much about No-S! Simple, logical, and gives you peace instead of frayed nerves and the guilt that comes with failing/cheating on other diet plans! I never made it through a single day on any of those other diets. And I always seemed to gravitate towards the really weird, hard ones-like the food-combining one you mentioned. I tried that and you are right. It went against everything that I liked-sandwiches, spaghetti with meatballs, rice and beans. It was very counter-intuitive and hard to come up with anything that sounded good and was still "legal". And try doing those if you have a family to feed-one who doesn't want anything to do with your latest crazy idea, lol.
I am so happy to have found No S! Freedom, at last!
