Amanda! That's awesome. I saw that you had posted it, but was skeptical when I saw that it had sugar in it. I'll definitely add the instant pack...
Still working on getting more Potassium too aside from Cheat Day.
Thanks Tom. I've learned a lot from everyone on this board. It's all the "tiny" mistakes that add up. I'd like to add more workouts ...
4 week check in
Hi, I have been on this diet for 4 weeks straight. I've been pretty good about finding a routine even though my routine varies. I find that preparation is key. I lost 6 lbs. 3/4 inch off of my...
Re: Alright guys, cheat day 3. I have some progress questions.
I figure if you like it keep it up. I've learned that there is a lot more food out there for protein - cottage cheese, turkey bacon, some sausages, canned tuna, salmon, etc. I personally don't e...
Tomhole - Thx for posting this. I am trying out MyFitnessPal and it's pretty awesome. I am also just barely falling short. I only tracked a coup...
Re: Nose Bleeds
Hi, Good for you for making an appt w/ your dr. I haven't seen or read anything about nose bleeding. Are you taking any blood thinners? Just curious because this diet requires tons of green ve...
I'm hypersensitive to what people think of me when I eat. It's funny because I could care less about what I wear or how my hair looks, but by gol...
Sure your frustration is valid. I applaud you for hanging in there. We also gain muscle during this exercise too. Keep that in mind. It's not e...
Re: Week 36 Maintenance Results - Back on Les Mills Pump!
Congrats! You're a big inspiration. I'm on my 4th week. How often do you change your exercise routine? I've heard that one should change their routine slightly every 2 weeks. How does that ...
Re: not losing weight
Ashleigh - Good for you for trying out this diet, but you need to be fully committed. I had tried this diet over a year ago and lost the initial 10 lbs - water weight. After that I would cheat a ...
Congrats on the weight loss! I'm on my 4th week too, but only lost 4 lbs. Before SCD, I had microgreens and that changed me to a 2x's a day. I ...
Re: Anyone tried kettlebell swings yet?
Hey, I just started kettle bell w/ a 10 lb (Don't laugh) w a Ultimate Beginners Kettle Bell w/ Paula Katami. I don't make any money from endorsing his product. I just thought it was pretty good...
You may be right Galia...but everything is also experiment. If I do, everything Tim does, I can't lose weight, If I test and find the the right wa...
Re: how many hours of exercises we are allowed to do?
My husband goes to ride everyday, attents the all bike races, climbs mountains...last year, he did atkins and rode his bike everyday like this. He lost weight. This years, he is following SCD rule...
Re: Week One Complete!
Good for you for turning down your sugar cravings. I've learned to replace that feeling with hot tea. That usually knocks it out. I think we are habitually and culturally trained to eat somethi...
Re: Success Story (so far)
Tom that is so inspirational. I had tried the 4 hour body a couple of years ago and lost about 10-12 lbs, but plateau'd for weeks too. I wasn't as hardcore about it because I didn't have this fo...
Re: Success Story (so far)
If I didn't know the story behind these pictures, I would say "two different man". What a fantastic job! You look amazing.
Re: Before and After: Week 4
Congrats! I'm finishing my 3rd week. Very inspiring.
Re: Before and After: Week 4
Great job! I can see the differences. Whatever and however you are doing is working. Keep up the good work.
Re: Potassium supplement
Great question! Thanks. I had tried this diet early on and was developing Hypertension so I stopped. I discovered that high protein diets cause the body to lose potassium. So if anyone is devel...
Re: Skipping the Scale Today. How often do you check your weight?
I've been on SCD for 3 weeks. I weigh myself everyday then I stopped recently. I realize that this whole 'diet thing' is a mind game. I 'mentally punished' myself and that would kill my spirit....
I will keep in my mind. Instead of peanut butter, I wrote butter...sorry but I learned something else again. Thanks Joshua. You are great.
I have been fasting this week...up to 18 hours. I push myself to eat, my appetite is gone. I eat two/ three table spoon of butter to catch the cal...
Re: Intermittent fasting and scd
I found this link and it helped me a lot. This week, I have been fasting everyday, it seems I am losing faster. FYI... http://www.nowloss.com/intermittent-fasting-diet-plan.htm#guideline...
I don't use artificial sweeteners but I tried at the very beginning....Oh, liquid form is horrible....more bitter, kind of metalic..stevia powder ...
YAY! That's great news. It must be really exciting to know that you are so close to your goal. It's also inspiring me to continue as I am only ...
Well, I don't know If this is wrong or not. I am just experimenting now.
i know it is too much at once and I don't even know I am in ketosis or not but so far it seems that it is working. Next week, I will not fast bu...
Thank you, this is the answer I was looking for. I will try it without cheat day- one day though. i don't know if I can stay on the track without ...
Re: SCD compatible recipe looks easy and good!
I am Turkish and this is one of our main dish. As a reminder, there is rice in it- sometimes bulgur too. You can also cook in the oven. You can stuff the eggplant as the same way. I love stuffed g...
Suddenly, I started to eat less, even though I am eating 30-30-30 gr protein each meal, my calorie intake is so little. I eat two table spoon of p...
You are right Tomhole. I asked this question earlier, and you helped me too. I started IF before and after my cheat days and I realized it really ...
We are almost the same then. I need to lose 25 pounds. To me, your food selection and proteins are okay. As I said, give some time. They says wome...
Normally, I don't feel hunger at all. Once a while on special days...i only eat legumes at lunch and it is not more than 1/2 cup. I am thinking to...
Koloryczerni- Yes, I meant what Brenda says. Thank you Brenda. For example; if you have 40-50 pounds to lose, it is easier. If you have only 5 or ...
Yes, I read that post after I wrote this Wombat. Actually, you open my eyes about sodium intake. I didn't consider this before. Big thank you.
Well Brenda, you are. You lost tons of weights, and it is not easy. You are an example to people like me when we lose our hope and get flustrated.
Re: No weight loss - have my period. Normal?
It is NORMAL. Before, during and after three days of your period you look heavier. I started SCD while having my period and I didn't lose any weight. Second week, I lost 2 pounds. I am in my 5 th ...
When that day comes, I will do a happy dance and post here for sure))).
That is a nice tip Wombat...So do you do that only after the cheat day? My cheat day is Saturday and I will do it on Sunday. I don't think I can m...
Dinner, I dont need it. I ate so many vegetables. I don't touch artificial sweeteners or cottage cheese. The only sin I do is one or two table spo...
You are right, it may be water. I think it is not a realiable source that because I had my BF testes at the gym and it was at the end of the day, ...
That is why I want to make it like life style but I still have weakness to sweets even though I am pretty strict during the week. I am glad you fe...
My friend told me about this 6 weeks ago, I read the book and started. This is my 5th week. I lose weight very very slow. I am reading the posts i...
Gretchenlin, after I read your blog, I felt closer to you. We both have a very similiar story. I threw the cane and I survived even though doctors...
