So I went to a sushi restaurant today my favorite and was able to indulge in all the yummy goodness by only asking them to wrap my roll in cucumber instead of rice. That's right! Apparently it's called Kanisu and as long as they're willing to make it you are able to order ANY roll kanisu style. I'm so happy now that I h...

I would definitely prefer grass fed organic eggs but our family is on a tight budget. I can buy 3 dozen "regular" eggs at BJ's for 3.80. Will weight loss be affected if I stick with the cheap ones? TIA!! Angela

Hi everyone I have read a lot of posts on here by people looking for some inspiration on what they could/should eat that is convenient tasty and most importantly tolerable to eat over and over again.

If you're trying to decide if a product is SCD-friendly I found this helpful article to remind us that sugar can be disguised under many different names. http//www.dietriffic.com/2009/03/26/names-for-sugar/ Anything that ends in "sugar" or "syrup" is pretty obvious but there were some I wasn't aware of like "panocha" ...

Being able to put gravy over the beans especially red and pinto beans would really spice things up for me. Hell think how easy it would be -- just stir fry some hamburger and mix in a bunch of beans. Pour gravy over it. Has anyone seen gravy mixes that are SCD compliant? I've got a box of gravy mix packets from when ...

Is Mayo ok? Say for breakfast two hard boiled eggs with a tablespoon of mayo? eggsalad....yum

Many items I'm coming across contain small or trace amounts of sugar how should I deal with these? Are they allowed?

Examples Chipotle Tabasco Sauce ingredients list contains 'sugar' b...

I really hate Spinach. In the book he's pretty clear about Spinachs effect on recomp. Is there anyway substitiute for spinach? And if not any one have recipes to make it taste ok?

If you can get your hands on some Ahi bluefin tuna please do so.

No cooking involved and all SCD compliant! Just downed a 10 ounce ...

I looked all over this site and couldn't quite find the answer to this question - so "How much cottage cheese can I eat in a day?" And for that matter is there a reason that I should always include it in the diet?

Hello - Does anyone have any suggestion for a thickener for soups and sauces? In the past before SCD I use flour in roux and cornstarch in a pinch. Would tapioca or arrowroot be suitable replacements?

my boyfriend has skeptically accepted the challenge of 4 Hour Body he doesn't think it'll work & is WRONG The biggest problem is that I didn't realize exactly how severe his potato chip addiction is.

I was looking to switch up my whey shake that has acetasulfane K sp? and sucralose and found it on a bodybuilder forum. Not a bad price either. http//www.musclefeast.com/

Just as the title says. My wife and I have been doing the SCD for 2 1/2 weeks and have seen noticable results but she swears up and down its fine because it doesn't have sugar or carbs in it. Also on the label it doesn't list aspartame. I would just like some clairifaction.

I have discovered a great source for fresh organic hemp seed and had ground it to make a shake. It is way better for my digestive system than whey etc. Is hemp seed allowed?

Sorry if this question has been asked before but can I use cocoa powder?

I tend to eat a cup or two of sugar free jello after each meal. Will this affect the diet? It has sweetener in it but I've been avoiding diet soda so that my total intake for the day isn't much more than the equivalent of 16oz. Has anyone else noticed this having a negative affect on their diet?

What are some good ideas for coffee creamer? I know Tim says use 'cream' in the book but does he seriously mean the heaving/whipping cream I see in the store? That seems crazy to me! I've heard of people on the SCD using coconut milk as coffee creamer bu that seems like it goes against the diet because surely coconuts ...
