Oh boy heavy cheat day, I am in heavy carb coma now! I even worked out free weights and suicide sprints still feel bloated and gross lol.
Skip the corn. Add flax seed to all your meals, TONS of protein.
Re: Happy binge day!
Woooo finally! I haven't had one since Thanksgiving, and a lot has happened since then. I'm having a dilemma on my cheat day. This is my one week off PAGG that I took early since it's a convenient...
Re: Peas and other foods...
I personally don't eat peas unless someone prepares them in a supposedly SCD-friendly meal for me. However, this is mostly because I have really been cutting the sugars to an absolute minimum for ...
That was hard for me too. I decided instead of buying diet soda I'd buy a huge hazelnut iced coffee. It wasn't nearly as sweet, but it was somethi...
Re: Cheat day timing
SCD breakfast as easy. Just don't eat cheese or bread. Have a big omelet with veggies and some ham or something. After 2 massive cheat meals and enough beer to wash it down 3-4 times I'm usually a...
Re: First Week Results
Congrats dude, launch successful! You are probably right about the training. Some light resistance training (like the cheat day stuff) would be good to start out with, but I'd wait till after week...
What Juan said. You shouldn't be concerned about your blood sugar level with this diet, unless you aren't eating enough. If you feel light-headed ...
The most important thing about cutting out the super sweet from your diet is that you will become "unjaded" as I like to say it. Your th...
Re: Help! Diet coke, stevia, sugar free gum..?
Don't sweat the sugar free gum dude. I quit smoking cold turkey near the beginning of scd and straight up replaced cigarettes with sugar free gum chewing, like all day. I think the act of chewing ...
Definitely been workin out hard. I don't have a permanent home right now I can't move into my next place for a bit ill have to try all these foods...
Prime example of how are bodies react uniquely to food. I have been adding more and more almonds (replacing food with them sometimes when I travel...
Best SCD comfort foods?
I just had to break off a 2 and a half year long relationship. Not going to fall off the wagon, but I need some good comfort food suggestions... Anyone?
Zero-carb Vanilla Cinnamon Pancakes

Re: Just Starting Out...
Welcome! I'm going to be lazy and copy and paste a response I just typed to the same request for beginner tips just now: 1. Give it time to work 2. Drink a #%¥£ ton of water. You should be maki...
Re: Thank you SCD rock stars
1. Give it time to work 2. Drink a #%¥£ ton of water. You should be making bathroom trips like once an hour... Seriously... Clear and often = good. Especially before meals. 3. Eat sssllllooowwwl...
Re: Getting started again on SCD
Your story sounds a bit like mine. 5 years ago I weighed 260 and in the course of 4 months I got down to 180. I was eating almost nothing and spending like half my day doing rigorous exercise, and...
YES broccoli slaw is my JAM! I will try to post pix for a week after I get home if it'll help peeps structure their diet etc
Second that! Start new. SCD has no prerequisites besides a desire to effect positive change on your lifestyle... And everybody wants that, right?
Re: Food pictures
You could start a blog and link to it. You can also host pics on like photobucket or something and post them in this topic. It might be a good idea too since people can critique your daily food ro...
Re: Another stalling question
One week or even two weeks is NOT a stall. Our bodies' weight fluctuates constantly, it isn't a static downtrend we get when we lose, it's more like a stock market crash. Same with inches. Your hy...
I felt compelled to add at tip on here about cooking beans. If you are nervous they'll slow your progress, but have the extra time... DON'T buy ca...
Haha I loled at MC Hammer pants. Yea back home I have a pair of my 46" hanging for scale to remind me of how much I hate being fat. Juan when...
Yep I'm doing the same thing. I actually went to 3 thrift places in my hometown to no avail. Pants are hard for me because I'm 6'1" but I hav...
Re: I'm confused? I thought beans were good!
What they all said. Mostly, give it time. I think everyone that fails SCD or CKD doesn't give it a chance to work. Changing your body requires some ramp up. Your lipid profile returns to normal, c...
Clothing dilemma solved!
So before driving home for the holidays, I took almost all my clothes to salvation army, taking only several changes of clothes that are now also starting to be too loose. As it turns out, after d...
Re: What is the biggest problem you face while on SCD?
I miss potatoes... Used to eat them 2 times a day. I will slowly work them back in after I lose 15 more lbs
Re: 6 Month Report! Including Before and After* Pics!
Yeeea Juan! I'm right there with you dude. The hard but most rewarding part is upon us! Lets bust through from the "wow you look great" reactions to the "holy &%#*!" Jaw dr...
Whoops duh yea add the can or two of beans when you add stock!
Re: How important is to have same meal everyday?
It's important to change the way you eat the same ingredients. Do lemon and pepper with a bit of Cajun spice one meal, do the same thing with some Thai curry paste and super thin sliced fennel nex...
Yea I cook almost all my meals in a sautee pan with evoo
Re: back on it!!!
Hell yea I have the same story. When I first tried it, I fudged the lines way too much, and got bored of it (mostly because of peer pressure and my girlfriend eating pizzas and hot pockets like a ...
