South Asian / Indian Food Reciepies
Does anyone here tend to eat Indian food at all or incorporate the recipes in some ways? I am not an Indian but I love Indian food and I cook a lot too. Also, I cant really stand the smell after I...

a week, 75 kettlebells @ 50lb + heavy lifting of upper body 3x week (I stopped doing most lower body exercises, like squats, since my butt has got...
Yeah, I've only been measuring body fat for about a week (got an Omron tester). Started at 23%, spiked up to 24.4% after cheat day, and it's been...
Building muscle just fine, but not losing fat?
Hey everyone; I've been following this diet for about four weeks; prior to that I was eating paleo for a few months so the food part of the program wasn't a huge change for me (mainly, I just had...
Re: Slight headache and sore?
I sometimes get headaches when I'm dehydrated or hungry. I found that keeping a few raw almonds at my desk helped with this. However, your aches could be totally unrelated to your diet, like Chr...
Re: Hacking My Stall
Thanks so much for posting this! I'm having a similar experience. My Fiance and I are slow carbing together and he has lost about 10lbs in the first two weeks, while I've lost about 5.5. I think f...
Re: 2 weeks with unexpected results
It's definitely important to follow the rules for good, the bad and the seriously unattractive foods. The banned foods are banned because they divert the body's attention from burning fat for ene...
Re: Foggy on the whole "ketosis" thing...
My understanding is that the "bad ketosis" is the kind that people with type 1 diabetes have. Ketosis for the rest of us just means getting energy from fat. So it could be dietary fat ...
New Here Myself
Howdy! Thought I'd start off by being as stereotypically American as my keyboard would allow. Today is Day One for me but this is far from the first attempt at losing weight. I'm getting marrie...
Re: SCD Milk in tea.
What I've read in a number of places is that if you will be using milk, it's better to opt for the full fat version. By removing fat from milk the percentage of lactose to fat is increased. The ...

Help me out with my meals!
Okay all, I'm pretty much brand new to the SCD and dieting altogether. I've also seen that you have some pretty good advice, and i'd like a more experienced look at my daily meal plan that i've co...
And I don't think you should have any concerns with gastritis while on this diet - the basic foods on SCD are pretty plain, without a lot of spicy...
I'm glad I could help in any way! Miralax is a non-habit-forming stool softener, and it can be found at most drugstores (Walgreens, Target, CVS) ...
Re: Stomach Issues - giving up!!!

Re: It's been 4 weeks and I haven't lost anything!
Congratulations on not only sticking with the diet, but also for introducing others to the benefits of the SCD! It sounds like you have a pretty good base, I would just recommend a few tweaks: ...
Re: New to SCD: Day 2
Quick tip: Greek Yogurt isn't SCD - it's dairy. A no-no for non-cheat days.
I agree with tomhole - WAY too many beans! Remember that beans are slow carb, but they are still carbs. Up your daily protein intake to 1-1.5g o...
Re: Anyone having muscle spasms in legs?
Potassium deficiency can cause muscle cramps as well - try picking up a supplement and adding that to your meals for a few days to see if it helps. They're pretty inexpensive.
Re: What are quick, easy and cheap sources of protein?
Hi, I had the same problem. I went to my local grocery store and started looking at different sausage varieties (hot dog meat type).. I found a turkey sausage which was not only cheap but very ta...
Re: From 228 to 184 in 12 months - Plateau Breakthrough
I eat a lot of eggs too. Can I just make an omelet of 5 whole eggs to count 30g ? will that have negative effect in any ways?
Is the yolk bad for me If I scramble all 5 eggs and eat them ?
Eggs only breakfast
I eat 5 eggs in the morning.. 4 egg whites and 1 whole egg.. Is that enough to make 30g ? Should I eat more whole eggs (including yolk) ?

Re: Is cake allowed on the SCD?
I would ask myself the question: Will I *truly* be able to enjoy the cake if I eat it on a non-cheat day? If the answer is "heck yes!": Then eat a small bit of cake, and just make sur...

The HTC Rezound is a great Android phone and is lightning fast on Verizon's 4G network--much much faster than Sprint. Some features that made me go for this phone over the others was the SD card s...
