Re: DEXA SCAN NYC
I had a DEXA scan done in Texas at Texas A & M University. The athletic department has one there that they use for their athletes. I paid $80 for the DEXA there. You may want to check with ...
Re: Cold Showers!!
I still take cold showers, as cold as the water gets in Texas in the summer. I prefer to turn on the cold water only and just jump in, but I prefer to jump in the pool and not ease in either. I...
Thanks....the success is in the diet. I have exercised all summer long, but my diet had been terrible and I have gained body fat. Today was back t...
As I sat here drinking my Organic Roasted Dandelion Root tea, I thought I would mention that it may be a good drink to help you out as well. Rese...
Re: My First Day. Am I doing this right?
Hey Eric, Congrats on starting the SCD. It is a very effective style of eating. My partner and I have been living this life for the past 1 1/2 years, as well as my 67 yo mother. We have all see...
I have been on the SCD for 1 1/2 years. I started at 169 lbs and got to a point of 152 lbs at about 6% body fat. I am not currently trying to lo...
Re: Yerba mate, everyday, or just cheat days?
I have been drinking Yerba Mate tea, both hot and iced daily. It is a beneficial tea to drink....not just for cheat day.
Re: Green tea or yerba mate to stimulate weight loss?
I drink both green tea and yerba mate. I can not say definitively that one is better than the other, as far as weight loss is concerned. I do like the flavor of yerba mate, as a "hot" ...
I think you have to look at SCD as a way of life, not a diet. You will always gain the weight back when you go back to "eating normally"...
Re: When do you see results
I have been following this lifestyle of eating since January, 2011. Based on my experience, it is best to weigh once per week, usually the morning before your binge day. Watching the scales on a...
Progress Update
Just an update on my 4HB progess. Back in December I went on an 8 day cruise and gained few pounds. I had been following the 4HB lifestyle for almost a year at that time. Ten pounds doesn't seem...
After reading this, I had to give it a try. I thought it sounded a little odd, but it was great!
Re: Ice bath - and then?
I normally just dry off and let my body adjust back to normal temperature naturally. After a few ice baths, it makes taking cold showers easy! Best of luck! keith
Re: Member intro: 4HB
Don't worry...I am over 8 months into this way of eating and I still overindulge on cheat day. I often have a food hangover on the day after. I tell myself that I am not going down that road again...
Re: Black beans & pork loin on slow cooker (feijoada)
Sounds and looks delicious. I am going to give it a try!
I take a multi-vitamin. I did 2 rounds of PAGG. I can't say that I can attribute the use of PAGG to any drastic changes. I have used various su...
I do 75 total swings...one set of 50, rest about 30 seconds and then 25. I also do 10 myotatic crunches on a bosu ball with a 10 pound weight. Fol...
When I was on the SCD from January to May, I had a cheat day every Saturday. Since I have been on the "last mile", I have had a "c...
Re: TOP TIPS for getting to sub-10% body fat?
At my last DEXA scan I was at 6.4% body fat. I achieved that by following SCD, kettlebell swings on Mon, Wed, and Fri, prior to eating breakfast, cold showers, moderate weightlifting, and an occa...
Re: Brown Rice Protein Powder?
I have used Brown Rice Protein powder, both unflavored and vanilla flavored with unsweetened almond milk as a mid-morning snack while at work. The flavor with the vanilla protein powder was the b...

Congratulations on your success! Your efforts are really showing.
Re: Before and after: 3 months 32 pounds
Great results! Keep it up!
Re: SCD decisions based on blood type?
I have been following the "Blood Type Diet" since 2001. I am type O. I am currently following the Genotype Diet, which is a type of the BTD written by Dr. D'Adamo. Both my partner and I ...
Re: Member intro: Day One Over
Don't give up. The caffeine withdrawal will get worse before it gets better.
Re: Ok, ok...mayyybe TMI but
If you are using Alpha Lipoic Acid, it creates an odor also. Garlic is not the only culprit.
Re: Sugar-free Dark Chocolate, an absolute no?
Personally, if I were going to eat chocolate, I would stick with 86-90% dark chocolate with real sugar. You would need to limit the amount you eat.
The Last Mile Workout
Does anyone know if there is a workout/exercise program that goes with the last mile?
Re: Flavor of food on diet?
I do not find my food bland at all. I season my food with many fresh herbs and spices. Cayenne, cinnamon, and curry are great staples to have.
Re: Why and how would a low calorie version of this diet conflict with its guidelines?
Part of the reasoning behind the SCD is to make sure your body is getting enough calories so that your body doesn't think you are starving it. Once you go into starvation mode, you will stop your...
Re: Could I eat feta cheese for SCD?
You really shouldn't eat any cheese or dairy.
Re: anyone else have firbomyalgia and doing well with the scd?
I have had fibro since 1999. As long as I don't eat grains (wheat in particular) I have no symptoms. This diet is wonderful for those of us with fibromyalgia.
Re: What has slow carb done for you? (other than weight loss of course!)
For me, getting off the wheat/flour products cured my fibromyalgia--something the doctors could never do.
So, I have been doing a modified CKD/workout since last Friday. May waist measurements are going down, and my weight is the lowest it has been on ...

Great results! You should be very proud of your accomplishments.
No carbs since 9:00 am this morning. Lunch: 2 packs of tuna and flax oil. Dinner: slab of fajita meat and 1 TBSP whole flax seed. 2nd dinner: ...
Started a CKD on Friday. I completed the carb depletion workout, began my 36 hour binge. This morning was my last high carb meal followed by heav...
Let me know how it works for you. If you don't gain any fat, I will then try it.
Re: Has anyone else tried the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet--basically it is the Last Mile, only with cheat days when you workout with weights?
No...but I am going to give it a try!
Re: Skip cheat day if no loss?
No, I have the binge day anyway. It is important for your weight loss and for your sanity.
Re: How have others reacted to the SCD?
Here in Texas, it is the same. People think it is a temporary diet and wonder how long you are going to stay on it before you quit and gain all the weight back plus some, as that is their experie...
Re: SCD Endpoint?
I am right there with you--can't seem to get the last 5-10 pounds of fat off. I have been on SCD since the first of the year.
