Re: Confused about exercise
What Tim is getting at in the book is that weight loss and fitness are separate goals. You can reach your weight loss goals without a lick of exercise and you can reach your fitness goals without ...
Re: Am I the only Wine-O?
Yessir! Wine-o is divine-o! I will always be a beer guy, which is why the SCD is a bit of a bummer. My buddy (who is also doing SCD) and I brew beer, and once a week we would have him over for d...
Re: Third week, little change. HELP, feeling discouraged
Hey! I'm approaching my third Faturday, too! Get out of your head and just focus on how good you're going to feel down the road. Trust the science, and I'll do the same. I don't know if it will...
3rd Faturday around the corner
Well, I think I'm doing all right. I hope I am, anyway... Week 1 was great. I dropped 8 lbs, and I was militant that week. Cold showers, cold water after waking, strict food choices. My first Fat...
Karli!? Howdy!
Karli, I was reading a post reply from you, and the little icon of your face looked SOOO damn familiar. We're Facebook friends, but that doesn't mean much these days when it comes to actually reme...
Gotta love Ramsey! Brilliant technique. I'm switching from my skillet to the saucepan. However, as far as noise, I'm trying to avoid too many uten...
First Week (+2)
"Want to lose weight with me without exercising?" "Hell yeah! But where exactly do we GET a tapeworm?" My smartass reply to my buddy's text was my first introduction to 4HB a...
Re: Half Year Mark! Time for a week off!
Well done, man! Tomorrow's my fifth day, then I cheat on Faturday! I already dropped 7 lbs, and aside from a hungry first couple of days, I feel like I'm settling into a nice zone. Reading posts l...
Thanks, all! I drank more water with a couple of Advil, and it went away. Maybe just a normal headache that just coincided with the start of the S...
Quiet breakfast tips?
All, I have a 19-month old toddler who will wake up at the slightest sound in the morning. I've been trying to throw together a strong SCD breakfast, but there are just so many things happening in...
Ice water? Or just cold water?
Okay folks, this may seem like a stupid question, or nitpicky, but if I consume ice water immediately upon waking (and 20 minutes prior to breakfast), just how cold does it have to be? Reason I a...
Slight headache and sore?
I've been on the SCD for 3 days, and so far I am not having any problems. I'm sticking to the book, and looking forward to my first Faturday this weekend. I noticed last night (and a bit this mo...
Re: Bad beans or no beans?
I, too, say just rinse and eat the beans. Very little besides water makes it past the skin of the bean so virtually all the added sugar is in the sauce. Drain and rinse thoroughly (which you sho...
Re: Male. 4 Weeks. 10 Pounds. Need Help.
As long as you are not getting hungry enough that you are tempted to eat off script and you have enough energy to get through your day, then you are eating enough. As far as blueman's well intend...
Re: Hard time with breakfast.
If one is not hungry after 8 hours of sleep it is usually because of eating to close to bed time or having heavy starches at dinner. Since I assume you are not doing the second perhaps you are do...
Re: Anybody stop eating beans/legumes?
Ok, in no particular order. Medifast is based on a protocol for super morbidly obese people who are in dire need of surgery that cannot be performed without them losing a LOT of weight. That is t...
Re: GOOD NEWS...I know now why No weight/fat loss :)
I notice that cheat day was brought up. An insufficient jump in calories on my cheat days was my big stumbling block in the beginning. The general rule I go by is that your cheat day should be b...
Re: Maintenance mode with SCD
I have done this myself. My advice would be. Continue to eat a high protein breakfast, watch your calories, continue to shun sugary drinks, try to make sure to stick with higher fiber carbs (Bar...
Many of you better places will also offer daikon wrap. Daikon is a sort of radish.
Re: 4 weeks in and no change
Posting your typical menu for the day (or even better the week) would help people to better give you advise. It is one thing for people to know what you know, another for them to know what you do...
Store bought chili is *!@#. Make your own, it isn't rocket surgery. As far as the protein powder goes. The dairy problem - the one that Tim poi...
Chocolate that is pure cacao has no sugar. As noted it does have plenty of fiber.
Re: Cold Showers!!
I take cold showers exclusively, except when showering with my other half. Still haven't been able to convert her. Start off with lukewarm water and turn down the hot as quick as you can. Stepp...

Re: The amazing cold showers ...
Also they do wonders for your energy bills. A big chunk of your electric/gas bill goes to heating water if your house/apartment is equipped with a tank water heater. If you take cold showers you...
Re: I'm finding a new doctor
A lot of doctor's brains ossify at med school graduation. Personally I don't like to see a GP over the age of 40. -Chris
He couldn't find it because of the omission of -un in the original posters story. He had written "monosaturated" rather than "mono...
