The No S Diet: The Strikingly Simple Weight-Loss Strategy That Has Dieters Raving--and Dropping Pounds
$13.95
Over the last couple of months, I have been researching (and unfortunately purchasing) different diet books. It was mainly an exercise in frustration. I found that the diets were either too restrictive for me to stick to, too vague, or just plain too complicated. I wanted a plan that involved few restrictions, a simple plan, no measuring or counting and one that I could stick to for life. Nothing I was reading seemed to fit the bill. I was beginning to think that such a diet didn't even exist. So one day, in complete frustration, I googled "A diet that is not too restrictive and easy to follow." One of the first links that popped up was the no S website. I had never heard of this particular diet before. I was interested enough to keep reading. By the time I finished reading the information on the website, I was sold. So I ordered a copy of the book. If you are sick of being frustrated with diets and yo-yo dieting, do yourself a favor. Trust me, and buy yourself a copy of this book. It will probably be the last diet book you will ever need to buy.

This diet features 3 very simple components

1. No Sweets
2. No snacking
3. No Seconds

Except on days that start with S. (Saturday, Sunday and special occasions such as holidays)

That's it! No counting, no measuring, no trying to figure out annoying portion sizes. You can eat what you want. And you know that you have the two free days each week coming. The book also mentions an online tool that makes it a snap to monitor your progress. By the time I finished other diet books, I found myself thinking one of two things.

"There is no way I could stick to this diet long-term, if at all. Who has time for something so complicated? I'm not a mathematician for crying out loud!" or

"What do you mean eat portions as big as your thumb? How much is that exactly? What do you mean wait until I'm hungry? I need a little more help than this please!"

After I finished reading the No S diet, I thought to myself

"Finally, a realistic plan. I can do this."

I am so sick and tired of fad diets, false promises, gimmicks, measuring, counting and other diet insanity. This book contains none of that! Just a simple, straightforward diet plan. If that is what you are looking for, then get this book. You won't regret it!

The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person
$24.95
I first learned about this book a few months ago on a weight loss message board, then later, at a WW meeting, a member who had been losing consistently shared how following the tips in this book totally made a difference to her success. After hearing that I had to read it.

I will say, if you have been watching your weight for any length of time, or read women's magazines, or belonged to any formal diet program, much of the content will be very familiar ground to you. But even a veteran weight watcher like me will probably find at least one little tip that will be useful.

It is not a diet per se, but a way at digging into the underlying practices and thoughts that lead to overeating. You could follow any of a number of regimes and use this as extra guidance. And the thoughts always precede the behavior, even if the thought is "I am now going into a trance so I can devour all this food and pretend like it was out of my control".

The author's advice is based on cognitive therapy and research comparing behavior and thoughts of overweight and slender people.

It helps in learning to recognize and change destructive thought patterns that lead to poor eating, overeating and bad lifestyle choices.

The practical tips in learning HOW to notice these thoughts, and in using notecards to replace those thoughts, is useful.

What I especially appreciated was the fact that the information is garnered from real people.

The two nuggets that most benefited me was 1) the finding that chronically overweight consistently have a sense of unfairness (that they can't eat whatever they want), and destructive thought patterns of self pity, "why me?", and black and white thinking ("I ate one cookie I might as well eat 20"; "I can't be a size 0, so I may as well stay fat"..etc), and 2) that 'craving tolerance' is a muscle that grows stronger with use. That was helpful and encouraging, and I think very true. You won't always feel out of control or like it's hopeless to try, if you hang in there.


The realization that the 'unfairness' thought is a real stumbling block to lasting weight loss was a real 'aha' for me, because I realized I frequently entertained the thought ''why me''!? regarding a very slow and thrifty metabolism. So just for that reason alone, it was worth it, because when I start that thought process now I know catch it in time before it can sabotage my efforts at moderation.

One thing I did NOT like was the constant use of the word 'diet' and 'dieter'. After all, if it's a lifestyle change, it is not a temporary 'diet'. Using this word repeatedly flies in the face of the author's central theme, in my opinion.
