Yes! can't recommend magnesium enough! It has helped me become more regular than any fiber supplement I've taken
Akane is always on the nose with her advice. Kicking the sweetness crutch is tough but DOABLE, and it makes a big difference when it comes to wei...
Re: Giving up artificial sweeteners

Re: Cheat day 2 progress

Re: Substitute for red wine
You don't need to have wine. If you don't like wine just avoid it Having said that, grapes are not a substitute. Wine has much of its sugars converted into alcohol, and wine has other health b...

Congrats! definitely looks like way more than four pounds, your face looks slimmer too!
Re: Seasoning meat
I'm a big fan of using my crock-pot for scd! If liquids are what you are looking for then you can use Red wine, or try something like beef/chicken stock (just watch the sodium levels on those)
That is what it sounded like to me. I say get a big cup of ice, and use the ice to chew like you would the sunflower seeds
yep! you have to be a label sherlock! Read every label. Even after almost a year in this diet I am still surprised as to the hidden sugars/dairy/...
Re: Using soy sauce and olive oil
Hi there! I avoid soy sauce and worcestershire sauce. They both have added sugars, and soy sauce has wheat and msg in it, even if it is naturally brewed. All three are big nonos on this diet so...

Congrats Matt! 19lbs is awesome! keep up the good work. Like you the results really began pouring in after I cut out the wine and all artificially sweetened drinks. Good job, keep posting and ke...
Re: A newbie's numbers after Week 1!

Re: Week 35 Maintenance Results - Yes, short week, BUT no exercise?
Part of the reason why I love your posts is because you're about a big of a data junkie as I am. Thank you so much for all this amazing info Akane! So much to learn and read into!
Some Ceviche places add milk to the Ceviche. Peruvian here who eats ceviche at least once a week. Sashimi can be very pricey but its a bit of a l...

Congrats Brenda!
From a veteran here, lots of water is really important. Especially if you wanna avoid the hungover feeling the next day
Re: Caffeine and Cheat Day Water Weight:
Well I haven't been doing a fast post cheat days cause I get to tired at the gym, and I dont' drink coffee, so i was thinking like caffeine pills?
Josh, it is a big reason as to why we felt like that when we were under "normal" food. Wheat products and sugars can drag you down and ...
Re: Caffeine and Cheat Day Water Weight
It totally and absolutely makes sense that it would help. I do believe the fasting is also a big factor in your success too. I think oddly enough the times I've seen affect the loss of water we...
Caffeine and Cheat Day Water Weight
So, everyone knows post cheat day if you take in carbs you will retain water. SO since Caffeine is a diuretic is it safe to assume that caffeine would accelerate the dropping of the water weight....
Yeah when I was doing quick-walking (about 3 miles a day) is when my weight loss was at its peak. When I started jogging/running that distance it...

I'm about as far from the border as I can be! I live in the southern side of Miami Florida. Funny enough we get a lot of Canadian snowbirds in ou...
haha that would be awesome! I go to the Orlando Kissimmee area about 3 times a year
Re: SCD and cooking for yourself
Thats awesome man. I've also begun cooking for myself. For anyone who wants to follow the diet strictly this is the only real way you'll know what is going into the food. No second guessing or ...
Mary every long journey consists of many small steps. Any time you feel down or think about cheating just think of how much good you are doing fo...
Hi Mary, the fact you are starting again for a second go is a huge step. We all have falls in our life, I am glad you have decided to make things...

Wombat, actually I get mine now from BJs which is just like Costco, they have big packs of kerrygold for much cheaper than the supermarket
I agree to this...I enjoy my cheat day to the fullest, but I limit it to only my regular waking times, no midnight snacking etc. Asides from that...
