Re: Binge eating + Cravings after cheat days?
SamGreen - I have to say I'm impressed w/ your cheat day binge! I had previously thought of you as son controlled and restrictive. One of the reasons I'm stopping this diet (besides the fact tha...
Re: Eating at an Indian Restaurant
That's a tough one. I'm a sucker for Saag Paneer...and I know that isn't allowed. You just reminded me though that I want to go to an Indian Buffet on the weekend when I don't follow SCD.

Re: Depression affecting weightloss/gain
I'm sorry about your gf. Yes, depression can affect weightloss - so can lack of sleep (which happens a lot in conjunction w/ depression). I agree that it's great that you are thinking immediatel...
Re: just had coffee with flavored creamer:(
You should be fine. Once I went to drink what I thought was diet soda and noticed it tasted funny. I had drank about 1/4 of the bottle b/f I realized it was regular - eek! It didn't affect my w...
Re: sodium overload
Are you bloating/swelling as a result? If not and you really love those meats than no harm done. If you have problems with high blood pressure or if the sodium is causing you to swell and bloat ...
Re: How to approach maintenance?
Congrats SamGreen! I agree with the others that you should also consider adding in some non SCD approved foods little by little. Maybe start with a little fruit and dairy b/f you hit straight ...
Thanks - I tried this diet for 13 weeks with basically no weight loss - so I would say that was my testing phase. For the last two weeks I added ...
Thanks JKW - I'll post again in another two weeks to let you know how this new diet works for me
Re: What am I doing wrong?
I would definitely weigh yourself, that way you can tweak the diet as you go along and see what works best for you and what doesn't. Otherwise you spend 6 weeks doing something you're not sure is...
Thanks Akane - I'm going to aim for ~1400-1500 calories during the week and basically follow SCD but probably without the beans to be honest - mak...
@ JKW - I think you are right on. The cheat day is just too excessive to be effective as part of a healthy diet. I'm keeping many of the Slow Ca...
Hey Beorn86 - I didn't add that one in on purpose - LOL. That day I didn't have the avocado for fat though and technically pb is allowed. That o...
@ SamGreen - I'll be eating more calories on the weekends (just not outrageous amounts) so that should help me lose during the week. @yarnphreak ...
Yes - that would be a nice way to think of it but I did gain weight and fat. I don't really exercise so I didn't gain muscle - and my inches went...
I'm 100% with you on the calorie control. It's just a fact of life. I think that's why the diet didn't work for me - I took the cheat day 'eat e...
Diet Conclusions & Tweaks that didn't work
Ok - so this diet really isn't working for me - I've virtually kicked around the same 4lbs for the last 13 weeks. My hypothesis initially was that I was too close to my goal weight for the diet t...
That may just require sit-ups or crunches b/c your weight in that picture appears perfect.
from that picture neither girl appears to need to lose 25lbs - do you want to disappear? You look great
Thanks PeterJ24 - I think I eat way too much for it to be ok. I fear if I get the Organic version I would just justify my binge even more - LOL
@TeaLove - you made me smile - LOL. I too feel like I'm restraining myself at 1/2 a jar. I also feel the same way when I buy it - like 'oh this ...
Thanks Cathieely - Almond butter is dangerous for me as well... I think I just have to avoid it - it's a domino food for me
Thanks guys - it will have to move to 'no-no' status except for on a cheat day
Thanks Sam - you made me feel much better. I just felt out of control and like I cheated bad - which I hate to do. I guess PB wasn't the worst t...
Yeah- I may have to just view it as a cheat day item and not tempt myself with even a little. Thanks
I've eaten more than that in one sitting - LOL. This was the remainder from my cheat day where I ate about 1/2 the jar! I'm upset b/c two days i...
@arcticchacker - thanks - she's my little angel As for the 11+hours without sleep - I don't feel that's healthy, especially if you feel hungry. ...
Peanut Butter Binge
Last night I couldn't resist and ate at least 3 servings of peanut butter (6 tablespoons). That's 600+ calories and has tons of carbs. I know PB is allowed (in small quantities) on SCD...but I w...
Re: Waking with a baby — When to eat breakfast?
This happened to me when I first started SCD since I have a little one as well. I kept pre-cooked chicken in the fridge in a tuberware container. I eat a couple of small pieces when I wake up w/...
Re: Pre-holiday jitters
I would just enjoy your trip. Life is supposed to be fun and exciting and you are supposed to indulge a little at times. I agree you don't have to go crazy every day - try to be semi-good, but d...
Good for you. I'm currently testing it - just stopped ALL aspartame (including SF gum) this week. I want to give it a 2 week trial and see if it...
I do the same - somehow a frozen cookie in a ziploc bag isn't as appealing as one sitting out on the counter or in the cabinet. I take them out t...
I drank the grapefruit juice directly b/f coffee at the first meal - is that ok? Also, I only had grapefruit juice (not coffee) for the second an...
Ok great that is what I did. What is 200ml in oz? (roughly)
I don't know the name of the place just yet but once I do I will check the menu online. I think I could order a chicken w/ vegetables and maybe t...
Grapefruit Juice More than once on a Cheat Day?
I just started adding Grapefruit Juice to my cheat days. I drank a glass b/f my first cheat meal and then was drinking 1/2 glass b/f any subsequent cheat meals. Do you only need it for the first...
Thai Food on SCD?
Hi - I was hoping to go to a Thai Restaurant on a non-cheat day. I got invited and don't want to break the social commitment but it isn't a cheat day for me and I really don't want to switch my c...
Re: Bulimia and Cheat Day: A Mystery
Hi, Sorry you're feeling those urges and I'm glad you were able to stay strong and resist them for now. I do think that they will come back again however, and you may not always be able to resis...
Might very well be what's best on his plan - just maybe not for me. But I agree I need to add more fats to my diet - I bought avocados yesterday ...
