Will my 4HB teqnuqie be safe and effective?
I have had experience and success with low carb diets in the past. I have decided to take up 4HB, because I see how successful people have been and I think it is important to have the cheat day to...

Intermittent Fasting for 9-5ers
This challenge will introduce you a weight loss tactic known as intermittent fasting (IF). Don't worry, it's not a starvation diet, it's simply a m...
Re: Thoughts on Self Image..
I'm pretty sure most people do....Male or female. But at the same time, the more you scrutinize (sp?) the more determined you become to change and push yourself forward, well in some cases!! Goo...
Re: Introduction and beginner questions
Everything looks good. Targets should be achievable with a bit of dedication and work! Good luck and Welcome!!
Re: Peanut Butter Binge
Long term.....Not much. Just dont let it become a habit. If you feel that you cant just have that small tea spoon of PB before bed......throw it out and dont have it in the house. (or keep it...
Marathon Training on SCD.
Hi everyone. So.....for some daft reason I've decided that I am going to run a marathon. I've picked the Loch Ness (aye, the one with the monster www.lochnessmarathon.com) Marathon in September, ...
Re: Can I eat this? Organic Brownie Bar?
27g of carbs......16g of sugar!?!?!? Do you really need to ask?!
thanks. Just did try that.....didnt work.... oh well. haha

Off the track
Well I dunno where to start. I feel like a complete failure. It was the 1st year anniversary of my Dads death in August and since then I have been completely de railed. Now I am not blaming it ...
ways to kickstart weight loss again?
Hi everyone. Ive been doing SCD for over 8 months now, and after an initial great couple of months, where i lost about 30lb (i think, didnt take starting measurements) Currently sitting at about ...
It seems to me that there are two possibilities: Either you are over-reacting - I mean, you really can hold a conversation without a cookie in you...
Re: sprouted spelt flour?
Spelt IS wheat - an older variety, but still wheat. It may have a lower GI than white flour, but it is still a almost wholly carbohydrate product (12 - 14 % protein max). So why ask the question? ...
Re: SCD anti-social?
Although people might not be familiar with the details of the SCD, everyone has at least used to having friends who go on diets. So most people will be perfectly happy to excuse you. There might ...
Re: Muscle-gain eating
On body building forums the difference between people who gain muscle and people who find it difficult to gain muscle seems to come down most often to how much protein they consume. SCD already pr...
Re: Day 3, Part Deux
Presumably if you have decided to try the SCD you have already admitted to yourself that you are not happy with life as it has been up until this point. So when you say that food (or bad food) is ...
Re: Gravy -- suggestions?
Manystock cubes are mostly salt - so not so healthy, and often taste very artificial. The way I make gravy is... chop up an onion finely and fry in a little oil until it caramelises. If you want...
Almond Butter
Well I finally figured out how to get almond butter in the UK... I sells in Holland and Barret for £2.65 for 170gr. I think that makes it about the same price as cocaine, and does nothing to di...
Re: Drastically Reducing Legumes (Beans a) Good Idea?
Cutting out beans would land you somewhere in the Atkins / Paleo territory. It would bring results, but quite a lot of side effects including very bad breath. I've noticed that even with modest w...
just read wikipedia - sounds nasty. Its banned in certain food applications in the UK and Europe - that should tell you enough.
Re: Eating Breakfast.
You get up at 5am!!! just a quick question, how much sleep do you get. I have found that when I get something like 8 hours in bed I don't loose much weight and if I stay in bed for 9 to 9 1/2 hour...
Re: Tired if bland food
Personally I don't do the bland thing. I don't spend any more time in the supermarket than before, but I always get a range of foods and every meal is different. Have you stopped cooking proper m...
Re: How do calories work on this diet, going crazy!
Yes, if your weight has massive fluctuations and you obsess about it and overdo diets, then it is possible that you have an unhealthy relationship with food and diets. But you might only need slig...
Re: Funny breath?
Smelly breath is cause by ketosis - when you are burning fat, and exist to a greater or lesser extent in all lower-carb diets. If it is particularly bad, it might be that you are not getting enou...
Re: Why am I doubting myself?
Of course if you were hoping for 20lbs in 30 days its easy to feel like a failure - I felt just this way even though I was following the diet totally strictly. BUT..... 7 lbs in as many weeks is ...
Re: Meal after workout
To be fair its going to depend a lot on the workout: If its a workout which really depleats the body of energy, then some carbs may be a good thing to stop the body canibalising muscle tissue for ...
Re: ice bat High Blood Pressure
Was this reading during or immediately after useing the ice pack, or did you wait until you had warmed back up? In order to reheat, the body is going to have to go into overdrive (that's partly w...
Re: Anyone knowledgeable of BPA?
There are a lot of things with that acronym - which BPA are you talking about?
Re: Resistance vs. Weights
The trouble with body-weight exercises is, as you will have guessed, that their effectiveness depends on your body weight. If you are around 200lbs then you can do fairly serious exercise with air...
Re: Keep building muscle mass and lose fat?
1200 calories is virtual starvation - you need way more than that to maintain your body. I personally am guestimating that my calorie intake is considerably higher than before. I struggle to finis...
Re: Entrenched beliefs
I'm not sure that all of Tim's ideas are perfect or proven, or that the reasons he give will turn out to be the actual reasons they work. But most of them work. When it come to exercise and nutri...
Re: what exercise drops lbs of fat with no mass gain
