Who am I you ask?
- A Happy No S Dieter
- I was introduced to the No S Diet in June 2008. After a little online research, I liked how it sounded and thought it would be do-able. After 21 days I knew I was hooked! I can honestly say that I LOVE it and believe it really has helped me not only lose weight, but also enjoy food in a healthier way. Please feel free to leave your comments or suggestions!
What is the No S Diet?
The No S Diet
No Snacks, No Sweets, No Seconds. Except (sometimes) on days that start with S.
That's the basis of Reinhard Engels' No S Diet - where simplicity is the key.
Engels claims that most diets can be split into two categories:
- Pseudoscientific taboo/miracle food diets that pretend that you can go on being a glutton as long as you confine your gluttony to a particular class of foods while completely excluding others (no agreement on what these particular kinds of foods are, of course).
- Diets that require you to be a full time calorie accountant.
In all honesty, he's mostly right. Most diets have a very short life. Inevitably, after just a few weeks or months, most people ditch the diet and return to their former eating patterns.
The No S Diet has got most of the bases covered.
- No Seconds - portion control
- No Sweets - nutrition
- No Snacks - nutrition - most people tend to snack out on foods that are fatty and very salty.
What are S Days? Saturdays and Sundays (no stressing on the weekend), and Special days (you can eat cake on your birthday).
A smart and simple idea. Check it out.

21 DAY AWARD - I DID IT! - 07-17-08
It is often said that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Fortunately the No S Diet has helped me form GOOD habits for a lifetime!

You weren't even overweight when you started! I've been No S-ing for nearly two years (though my S days have only recently calmed down), and I'm still 12 lbs. heavier than my highest normal BMI. Yeah, it's a long time, but that's how it's worked out for me. I am hoping to be happy to get to 24.9 as my food consumption has dropped so much I can't imagine eating little enough to get much lower, at least not for a year or two. But if you are happy with the amount of food you eat and your level of exercise, I guess you are destined to be pretty darn thin! Glad you've found your balance.
