Hi all! New. To the no s diet.... But it seems like its worth a shot. I mean I've tried every other diet out there so why not try this! First day was dreadful in terms on staying to the rules. Today was much better.

Plate 1: chobani yogurt with bear naked oats and blueberries granola
Low fat cottage cheese

Plate 2: ground turkey, red peppers, onion, and mushrooms

Plate 3: 2 chicken sausages (80 cal each), 2 eggs, cup of tea

Exercise: 1 hour class at the YMCA. Also 1 hour of cardio/weight training.

Just curious if anyone out there has any suggestions about kick starting weight loss. I know that calorie counting isn't part of this diet, but I do stick to 1300-1500 daily.... As I have health issues that make weight loss difficult for me. Also exercising 30-60 min 5 days a week... Sometimes doing 2 hours like tues and fri when I have classes at the YMCA. I have been doing this for 6 months now with NO results. Not a single pound lost. No inches lost either. Tried everything!! I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks!!

Welcome to NoS

Most people who do check ins don't calorie count (I think) but there's nothing to stop you combining that with NoS! I think the idea is that you don't need to count if you can easily see what's on your plate three times a day as eventually you will move towards healthy, fulfilling foods on those three plates.

Unfortunately I can't offer any suggestions for not losing weight on a restricted diet

I have seen other cases where for medical reasons, weight just will not shift though, it's not just you. I know one of the best things about NoS for me is that even if the weight isn't dropping off, I'm maintaining - and I'd rather that than see my weight creep up year on year!

Hope you have a good weekend

Thanks for your response! I appreciate it. Yeah, I just don't know honestly what my body's problem is with dropping weight! It's just stuck. I think I've hit my body's "set point".... Not sure how to break through to get past it though.

Anyhow.... As long as I'm healthy I guess that's what matters!!

Exactly, if you are eating healthily and exercising that's good for you no matter what the scale says!

Snacks: about 8 tortilla chips, 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese, more pistachio salad after dinner -- yummy!!
