I go to them when I need a "filler" food... ya know something to plump up a meal and make it more hearty while still being "paleo/slow carb". But I have a sneaking suspicion that if I was to cut beans out i.e my beloved kidney and black beans etc I would be losing fat faster. Could they be the tipping point to me losing...

TIP/Challenge Prepare ALL your meals in advance! Here is a tip could maybe be a challenge for anyone on SCD but especially for those who struggle to find the time to prepare their meals. In particular for those who struggle to get their 30g within 30min of waking or for those doing the last mile where I think advanc...

Water retention can be a major problem for some when on SCD. With our cheat days we can retain a LOT of water weight as our glycogen levels are replenished- each gram of carbohydrate holds onto 4 grams of water and each gram of salt can hold onto a pound of water. So it's no wonder that we end up looking and feeling bloat...

when i started the SCD 5 days ago I weighed 129 pounds know I weigh 126.4 pounds which is 2.6 pounds of weight loss per 5 days. I'm female 5"3 inches. is this normal or should i be pulling bigger numbers?

I stumbled across a great little clinical study on almonds that suggests that eating almonds together with your meals reduces the severity of your post-meal insulin/blood sugar spikes and thus help prevent fat gain. Since the whole point of the slow carb diet is to prevent insulin spikes according to these findings eating...

Does anyone have any tips for me. I'm starting the last mile today. I'm a female and have hit the final plateau while slow carbing. Have about 5 more pounds to loose. I haven't been workout out on slow carb and want to start again on the last mile. Could anyone draw me out a workout schedule with exercises? I really don't k...

Ive been on the Last Mile for the couple of weeks to see if I could get from 16.4 to 15BF. I gave myself a deadline of 3 weeks to do it because I know from past experience that Im not very good on low carb diets. Luckily it took half the time I expected when I reached 15.2 BF. Im calling it a success!!! To celeb...

I'm wondering if members' names could be tagged with something that shows how long we've been part of this site or how long we've been doing SCD or The Last Mile Occam's etc. I see a lot of newbies answering questions recently and while I definitely love their enthusiasm and willingness to help I wonder if it's a l...

Hi" I know book says should at eat about 4 hour intervals I have breakfast about 6.30 but won't have lunch til 12 o'clock. As I have a big 4hb breakfast I'm not too hungry before that.

I've been intermittent fasting for about 4 days now on a 21/3 schedule fasting 21 hours eating 3. I feel like skipping breakfast is bad! I can't find much information on IF and I was wondering if anyone has experimented with IF and if they have gotten better results with it than slow carb. I feel loyal to slow carb beca...

I am also only on day 4 of Slow carb and I have lost 2 lbs. I only have 10lbs to lose and I work out 4 days a week with 2 of those days being weight...

So after reading 4HB there seems to be this consistent theme of fewer smaller high-protein meals helping boost your metabolism. Not only is this a part of the last mile protocol but it is also recommended to start eating a high-protein breakfast if you are accustomed to skipping it. However lately I've been reading so...

I'm doing great on the SCD but feel like I may be cheating myself on cheat days- so what are peoples thoughts? what is the physical requirement/guideline for cheat days? is it strictly a calorie spike? loading up on simple carbs and sugars? Is the physical requirement/guideline separate from the psychological side? I'm...

I am still in the slow carb stage. I am wondering what protein shake I can have? Mostly for quick mornings or a fast lunch when needed. Is a sugar free whey the best option?

Hi guys this has been a revelation for me in my food making. I'm currently on the Last Mile and for eating at work I found out soups to be very nice and handy. What I do is - prepare everything "dry" at home fry the meat boil vegetables slice up fresh vegetables mix everything together and spice it up and take it i...
