Re: Natural Remedy for Headaches

Re: Buddy match up!
I would love a buddy! But I think we should stick the vegetarians together since they seem to have the hardest time on this diet, and after that, people with similar body types and challenges. I...
Thanks! Do you do casein shakes? Have a fav brand?

Re: Casein Protein Shakes for Breakfast?
I think I remember Tim suggesting Casien actually. It fits the diet fine in that it doesn't have any carbs, sugars, or even sweeteners. I'm new at this, but I *think* it looks fine. I mean, I w...

Weight Loss Surgery.
Re: Don't Want to Binge--others?
In a word - yes. Yes, its neccessary, according to the book, to spike your caloric intake one day a week. It will ensure your metabolism doesn't adjust to your new way of eating and slow down to...
Re: Two types of protein per meal??
We've done bits of ham, beef, or chicken in our scrambled eggs/omelet muffins - is that what you mean? The cumulative amount of protein is the important bit, I think. Usually, for simplicity's s...
Thanks for the encouragement! I wasn't going to NOT do it if I couldn't find anyone like me - was just curious. My fiancé & I have just finished o...
Re: steak and eggs
Sure - do a portion of steak and eggs - just don't forget your veggies & beans!

Re: Is it mandatory to have a meal that includes protein, legumes and veggies?
Well... according to the fat loss chapter: Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over & over again. Mix and match your meals from the following list, constructing each meal with one pick from each ...
Re: Alcohol and red wine on non-cheat days

Re: Do you drink 1 diet soda a day on this diet, if so are you getting results still?
My fiancé has been taking a Big K Oh! (Coke Zero/Pepsi Max rip-off) in his lunch 5 days a week. He's still lost 10 lbs so far; we're just starting week three. That said, if you're doing everyth...
Re: Portable beans? Other Carbs on SCD?
Edamame are a great, for sure. I also like to just rinse and pat dry canned kidney beans for my fiancé's lunch (he has to eat on the road, so it has to be finger-food friendly) and put them in a ...
Re: Using salsa
No such thing as a dumb question So, salsa is a great addition to a slow-carb meal. The key is to either make your own or buy a brand that has no added sugar. Also, not to use too much - tomatoe...
Re: Are these allowed when on slow-carb diet?

Re: Heavy cream on slow carb
Well... his mention of cream being sort of okay was in regard to coffee and even then, it was like 2 or 3 tbsp. per day. But its all just a guideline. If you're having good results while still ha...
Re: Love Your Black Coffee!
I like your suggestion of whey powder! I'll have to pass that onto my coffeehound fiancé. He's sucking it down with just cinnamon, but he really misses the creaminess of his...er...creamer. LOL. ...

Re: Slow carb - bad mood connection?

Re: I want birthday cake!!
Switch your Dorito day to your birthday this week and don't take the next one until the Saturday after. It would mean going a week and a couple of days between Dorito days, but worth it to celebra...
Re: Ok to eat ?
Although you 'could' eat cold-cuts regularly, they're generally considered processed meats and should be avoided, I'd think. Since olive oil is okay, I would think olives are too, but I'm not real...
Re: Is Beef Jerky a good slow-carb snack?
I'm a big snacker (normally) and was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to go without some sort of munchy snack. What I've found is that with the protein-heavy breakfast and ample, on-diet mea...
Re: Spinach and broccoli salad
Now THAT is a beautiful thing! Yum!
Re: How to make a good cup of cinammon coffee?
