Since around November I have not really been following my no s-diet in the evenings. Breakfast and lunch go by without a hitch. No pangs for snacks. No craving for seconds. Where it all goes to pot is in the evening. A combination of tiredness and late dinners means the no s-diet is al... www.kaa.bz

@kaa Are you trying to cut out sugar specifically or carbs, generally? I've always loved the crunchy, salty snacks and have not craved them more than since I was diagnosed a Type II Diabetic.

@hjalm so i try and follow the no s diet, as much as possible. Allowed me to loose 10kg so far. Problem is I fall off the wagon in the evenings. The nice thing about it is it is simple to know when you are doing it wrong and its not related to specific types of food, rather when you eat and how much.

@kaa I think it's a wise course of action. Perhaps if I had started something like it sooner in my life, I would have postponed or prevented diabetes. Since I'm there, it's still applicable as a good tool.

@hjalm Two of my good friends are diabetics (including my dad) and while the food you eat won't solve it all, it will certainly help. Its a great food framework to work towards.

@kaa Out of curiosity, which strategies have led them to the most success?

@hjalm No sugar throughout the week was actually a pretty easy one to abide by. The tsp of honey I have in my morning oats doesn't count ;). Cutting out snacking is usually pretty difficult for most people to handle, this I found to be pretty easy (except in the late evening). The no seconds... that was difficult. The only thing I will say is that the first few weeks are not great. But after you've done it for a while, it becomes second nature and you don't even think about it. Then you look at the scales 2 months later and you're 6kg down...
