Hi Daniela,

Welcome, and good luck.

I think nosdiet makes sense for people like you who
already have relatively good habits because:

1) Never underestimate the power of self deception.
It's so easy to fool yourself into thinking you aren't
overeating if you have a zillion little meals. If you
stick with three, there are just three windows of
opportunity for you to zealously monitor. Much
trickier to sneak things by. If you overeat, you'll
know it.

2) There's no downside. Even if it doesn't give you
any extra boost (though I think it should), you'll at
least have a cheaper dental bill. And you can finally
*enjoy* those desserts, come the week end.

Sorry you seem to have gotten stuck with such an
efficient calorie processor of a body. We each have to
play with the cards we're dealt, I guess.
