I workout first thing in the AM or it doesn't happen. Can I wait until my workout usually 30-45 min is over to eat or should I eat first? It would litterally be eat put dishes in dishwasher workout so I don't know if that's too soon. I expect most days I'll be eating 2 scrambelled eggs w/ veggies.

I started the SCD just over 3 months ago and have reached my goal. I have had amazing success - I have lost 7kg and 4BF. I now weigh a healthy 60kg bodyfat down from 14 to 10 - caliper 4 point method. I look and feel fantastic. I am never hungry and have more energy than ever. I am in the best shape of my life. And i...

I'm nervous and feeling a little bamboozled. Just finished a cheat day that I honestly looked forward to all week but then I woke up this morning feeling like I didn't really need it and was enjoying the diet so far...but I felt like it was part of the plan so I should stick with it. I'm not doing supplements and only got...

And then continue through 8pm on Saturday? So like you cheat on Friday night by going out etc. and then cheat on Saturday DAY and then after dinner on Saturday night around 7pm or so you go back to clean? Could be a bad idea throwing sleep in the middle of it all but what do you think?

There is a lot being written now about the role of Leptin and Leptin Resistance in obesity and many other metabolic related conditions that is well worth knowing something about if you are into re-forming your body. It also has answered for me a lot of the questions about how come the 4HB approach works the way it does. W...

Believe it or not until I had pictures taken I could NOT see any change in myself. The scales and the tape measure said I was changing but I just couldn't "see" it. I really recommend taking pictures like these to confirm. Start Date December 29th 2010 - weight 93.3 kg 205.6lbs - body fat 45.3 horrifying! Pictures ta...

I've been doing the SCD for 5 weeks now and have been having stomach problems after eating the beans. It doesn't seem to matter what type - I cook them myself and make black white and lentils. They make me feel bloated and gassy - my stomach was best on my Saturday cheat day this week when I had yoghurt fruit and every...

I've been trying slow carb for a few weeks. Generally feel great. I've noticed that the day after cheat day I have what feels like a hangover. Lingering GI upset effects. I feel great the rest of the week. Does anyone else get this? Thanks. update None of my other questions have got so many answers. I thought I ...

Holy I just found out some very disturbing information apparently you don't get a cheat day on Occam's http//4hourpeople.com/answer/1908/do-i-get-a-cheat-day-on-occams-answer-by-shawngmarincas You're actually supposed to do a 'reverse' cheat day where you eat only 50 of your calories. Thankfully I only made this ...

I know I tend to panic a little. Then I up my exercise and start eating less unconsciously. This just makes the plateau worse since I don't end up eating enough. Going back and reading the book again is helping this time around with staying the course though. What goes through your head when your weight loss slows down...

Can I have a 24h consecutive cheat period instead of a cheat day? lets say instead of having my cheat day on saturday I'll have it from friday 4pm till saturday 4pm. Also can I have 3 cheat meals spread evenly during the week instead of a cheat day? lets say I like dinner better so I make 3 cheat dinners. Please give me ...

I've been on the SCD now for just over a year and have lost nearly 115 lbs! My original weight was 370 and I'm 6'4'' so you can imagine the gut I had have still. I'm wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions as to how to burn the tummy off? I've not added exercise to the diet as of yet simply due to access to fa...

For those of you in the muscle building phase and following Geek-to-Freak or Occam's protocol I recommend taking before & after photos to track your results. I'm ecstatic about my results I started the Geek-to-Freak protocol only 12 days ago after successfully losing 15lbs in 3 weeks from the slow-carb diet and check me ...

From what I've read/been told cheat days should be all out caloric MAYHEM. I am SO up for that challenge. My husband and I chose Sunday as our cheat day because we're taking his mother out to brunch and it just makes sense. So here is the plan Regular SCD breakfast upon waking Brunch at an Inn----sausage pancakes coff...

As I mentioned before the people living in my country tends to be damn negative when something great happens they tend to find some answer of why that great thing could not work with them or something to disprove it and when something bad happens then "that's reality" yeah it sucks it took me long time to get rid of tha...

Is there's a special recipe adapted to women for the protein shake? As soon as I started taking it I got fatter the next morning. Then I found out it had 975 calories which is 450 calories for breakfast alone plus my breakfast no wonder! Anyway should I be skipping breakfast altogether and just having the protein shake? ...

Howdy folks So my aim was to gain weight cos I was seriously skinny. I'm still very thin but not as sickly thin as before and I feel so much better physically and mentally. I thought it was about time I uploaded some pics of my first ever successful diet. I probably could have done better but I'm proud of the results. ...

I am on my 7th day today and after yesterday cheat day I spent most of the morning in the bathroom. I wanted to make sure I continue on the diet and cooked the recipe below. I am Brazilian but hopeless in the kitchen. One of our famous dishes is Feijoada basically a black beans stew with all sorts of meats in it. I have...

Last year at this time I attempted SCD for the first time...I had just lost about 30 pounds the 'conventional' way over a 2 year period. Disclaimer - I was eating very close to SCD to begin with...it was pretty close except there was fruits and grains...and the occasional starch/sweet tossed in...meaning I wasn't doing low...

Is ketchup allowed even though it contains high fructose corn syrup? What condiments are allowed?

I know that all artificial sweeteners are supposed to stall fat loss but to what extent? A lot of the protein bars and shakes out there contain sucralose / Splenda. I'm curious to know if I there's a specific limit on how much I can have per day?

Hello I just want to start off by saying that I've try everything so far to attempt to remain conscience in my dreams with little to no luck. This includes indirect methods to ambiance music but nothing seems to work. I also try to self-hynotise myself into deep sleep as well as do reality check. Even so I have not and not ...

Hey guys I just started the diet today for breakfast I had 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled 3/4ths cup of spinach and two chicken tenderloins. It was way better than I expected but it needs some seasoning or maybe just hot sauce. I am about to go grocery shopping for this diet help me with my list! So far I ha...

I'm on day 6 of the scd. Loving it loving how I've nourished I've been feeling. Having less 'high's and low's' then I usually do. Haven't had any weight loss yet or changes in my body as far as losing inches I know this may take some time. Is it normal to feel a little bloated from having such a large 30g of protein ...

Hi I find it very hard to get 30g of protein when i wake up mostly because i have NO appetite for at least a few hours. I was thinking of having a protein shake instead. From what ive read on here i need to avoid whey protein because it spikes insulin however casein protein is ok? Im thinking of buying this one but want...

Does roasting SCD friendly vegetables in the oven cause them to be more likely to spike insulin levels? I have done this twice and realize they taste too amazing it doesn't seem right. A little bit of olive oil drizzled on top and stirred a few times for 40 minutes.... they are too good to be true in my mind. Does it bri...

I had a delicious omelette this morning on my first day with egg white 25g protein spinach pure salsa 1/4 cup black beans and one piece of turkey bacon 6g protein. I used a little bit of 100 canola spray to coat the pan so it wouldn't stick. Is this touch of cooking spray going to make any difference? If so any ...

I started my cheat day on Saturday perfectly and did all the damage control. Then Sunday came. I started the day SC but strayed and made it a binge weekend andpromised myself I'd be back on track tomorrow. Well Monday I binged the worst after everything. I feel horrible. But now it's Tuesday and I'm promising myself that I'...
