30 minutes

A LOT of people following the slow carb diet to burn fat are getting lazy and using protein powders to meet the '30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking' requirement. Unfortunately this may derail your fat-loss efforts not solely because of the sucralose which is still bad for weight loss but also because whey prot...

Ok... I know this is probably a dumb question but anyway... I usually put my alarm clock and it takes me around 30 min to actually get up. The best 30 min of my day by the way. Problem is that normally I'm always late for the 30 min range for breakfast... if you count that after waking up. I have tried to look for the scie...

This is a post for those of us doing SCD with lots of weight to lose 100 lbs in my case who have a long and distinguished history of overeating. In short if you are someone who is used to overeating this eating plan will work better if you monitor portions and identify a daily caloric goal below your maintenance calor...

I workout first thing in the AM or it doesn't happen. Can I wait until my workout usually 30-45 min is over to eat or should I eat first? It would litterally be eat put dishes in dishwasher workout so I don't know if that's too soon. I expect most days I'll be eating 2 scrambelled eggs w/ veggies.

Can I adapt any of the weight training exercises at home so I don't have to join a gym? If so what are some good alternatives to the gym exercises. I have limited equipment just barbells and a pull-up bar. Thanks!

So far I've been working out twice a week for 30 minutes as the book says but I feel like I'm not exercising at ALL and worried I might get fat/lose the muscle I built up. Can I go more often?

I've been doing the SCD for 5 weeks now and have been having stomach problems after eating the beans. It doesn't seem to matter what type - I cook them myself and make black white and lentils. They make me feel bloated and gassy - my stomach was best on my Saturday cheat day this week when I had yoghurt fruit and every...

I started the SCD 10 days ago because after many years of neglect I need to get my body in order. I'm 30 192 cm and at the beginning of this diet I weighted 101.9 kg. After 10 days my weight is 101 kg still haven't lost all the weight I gained on my cheat day even though it was 2 days ago. As for my measurements the...

Which program is better Occam's or Geek to Freak? I want to build muscle fast but only have time about twice a week to work out. And I work 9-5 so it's harder to diet. Which workout will get me the most results the fastest with the least amount of diet restrictions?

In the book Tim talks about meals withing 30 minutes of a workout. Who here takes advantage of this? What do you usually eat? Are there any restrictions other than the 30 minutes and it having to be 20 minutes of resistance training? I know he has a pizza on his website with cheese and other goodies on it as his examp...

Hello fellow Slow carbers... In just under 2 months 7 weeks I have gone from 67kg down to 60.5 - 61kg. BF from 14.4 down to 11. For the past 4 to 5 weeks my weight loss has plateaued/stalled - and this was to be expected without going into 'Last mile' tactics to get below 10 BF. I have lost another 1-1.5kg digita...

I've been following the slow carb diet for 2 weeks now and I start to feel sick every time I have to eat. It's the kind of sick you feel when you're about to eat something you dont want to and the queasy feeling in my stomach persists even after I'm done. I'm not used to eating this much protein and I was just wondering i...

I am currently just slightly above my goal weight of 208 lbs however I would like you tone up in the stomach and chest areas but not lose too much muscle and have to put weight back on.
