We're a little late for the recommended resolution, according to Wansink, but maybe this will increase resolve this season. Start this week! Or maybe you've been doing it all year?

And here's a review, as I think this has been posted before.

On the second one, I think "don't be an idiot" or decreasing "wild" S days is still appropos. I myself lost weight in fits and starts after short patterns of LESS food on the weekend, but I'm an exception. I wasn't willing to be any more moderate on weekdays; that may be the best option for others.

Did you read the one about people buying 9% more calories worth of food AFTER New Year's? That's really surprising--I wonder if I do that!

(and I had to snicker about the creative word "res-illusions." I've made a few of those in my time! Thankful for No-S!)

I would bet it's the people who say they're going to cut back who end up subconsciously rebelling against future deprivation so they stock up.
We can find explanations for anything, right? But the bottom line is fast between meals!

Great articles! I'm going to try to avoid weight gain this holiday season. That's why I came back to no s and joined the November challenge. I'm not doing so hot,unfortunately.

Good articles! Love how they give credence to the No S eating. Has anyone ever read the book, "Slim by Design" by Wansink?

I've read that and Mindless Eating. I don't think his ideas could have done for me what Reinhard's have, but I find them bolstering, and certainly more evidence-based than traditional failure-prone diet books.

I also found it interesting that they said it takes about 5 months to lose the holiday pounds. That actually made me feel a bit better about it taking me almost a month to lose the weight from my recent holiday--but also made me realize, I don't want to continue that cycle to that extreme. I want to enjoy extra S days for special holidays, but maybe a vacation doesn't need to be ALL or MOSTLY holiday!
It also made me think--many years I haven't lost the holiday weight, and I'll bet that's true for many others too. Weight may "stabilize" as they said, but I'll bet it's often a "new normal." I don't want that to be my cycle any more.
And I'm realizing I can have fun and enjoy myself without always indulging. I still will I know--but maybe not as much.
