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 @TeaLove - good way to look at it :)

Jan 24th 2012

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 ...

Jan 24th 2012

Thanks JKW - I'll post again in another two weeks to let you know how this new diet works for me

4hbwoman replied to a question:

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...

Jan 24th 2012

@ 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...

Jan 24th 2012

@ SamGreen - I'll be eating more calories on the weekends (just not outrageous amounts) so that should help me lose during the week. @yarnphreak ...

Jan 23rd 2012

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...

Jan 23rd 2012

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...

4hbwoman asked a question:

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...

Jan 23rd 2012

That may just require sit-ups or crunches b/c your weight in that picture appears perfect.

Jan 20th 2012

from that picture neither girl appears to need to lose 25lbs - do you want to disappear? You look great

Jan 19th 2012

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

Jan 18th 2012

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...

Jan 18th 2012

Yeah- I may have to just view it as a cheat day item and not tempt myself with even a little. Thanks

Jan 17th 2012

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...

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...

Grapefruit Juice More than once on a Cheat Day?

Thai Food on SCD?
