Re: hummus? bean substitute
I´m sorry, but no. Hummus is no bean substitute. As chick peas are on the moderate list.
It´s normal that you feel tired in the beginning. I felt very weak the first two weeks. I was out of breath after climbing the stairs... And now ...
Re: Women - when did you implement exercise on this diet? I think I'm ready....Where to start?
I bought myself a heavier kettle bell. And, well, it´s a little bit too heavy so that I hardly ever use it... I go horse back riding 3 to 4 times a week (although the horse does most of the work....
Re: Frustrated... Not working?
Shouldn´t there be 4 hours between the meals? I would cut out the second lunch. You can have as much as you want during your first lunch! No calory counting! If you get hungry before dinner you h...
Re: Same meals everyday?
You will be absolutely fine!
Re: When did you become "Diet Confident?"
I got "diet confident" after about 5 months on the SCD. It just works. It feels good not having to think about the weight any more, except for, how good it feels not to have to worry abo...
Wow! It looks like an advertise.
Akane: I know what you are saying. I did let myself go during the christmas season and, at the moment, find it hard to stay away from sweets (addi...
Re: Keeping weight off
I am on maintenance now since November and have a range of 2 k´s. It works very well! I was down to 53 kg and my range goes up to 55 kg. I´m at 54 kg. I´m eating slow carb during the week (with s...
Re: I don't think it's working!
As is said before: take more measurements. You are probably losing fat and gaining muscles. You don´t have to do any excercise. Skip the almond milk and squash. Have your cheat days!!!
Re: How many calories approximately i should intake daily?
You are not supposed to count calories! You can eat until you are full. And it´s not "low" but "slow carb". You don´t reduce the amount of carbs: you eat slow moving carbs, t...
Re: Saurkraut?
I love "szegediner goulash"! You take pork goulash, onions, peppers, saurkraut and some sour cream. Roast the pork goulash gently with some oil. Then add the onions, peppers and some wat...
Re: First week breakfast question
My everyday breakfast: 2 eggs sunny side up, 3 slices of bacon (and sometimes beans)
Re: I reached my goal weight - now what?!
Congratulations on your goal! I reached my goal as well, and I have (mild) cheat-weekends instead of a cheat day. It works very well for me. I´m holding my weight and, occasionally, I have che...
Re: Hunger problems
Don´t forget to add beans and / or lentils to your meals every day. They make you stay full for a while (and they make happy, as well!). I was on a short holiday with my grandma, my sister and my...
I like "fake burger": I make hamburger patties, as well. Add anything you want (tomatoes, onions, roasted onions, salsa, mayonaise) exce...
And then: no snacking in between. You shouldn´t be hungry.
Write down what you usually eat. And don´t skip cheat day.
For more fat: how about bacon, spare ribs, etc. I use for example walnuts to increase the taste of brussels sprouts (or fresh green beans). I love...
As Brenda said, you will lose the weight you gained during cheat day and more until your next cheat day. Usually your consumption on cheat day wil...
Hey mary.cambellmaloney, low carb is not slow carb! You should eat carbs, but not the fast moving ones (e. g. pasta, potatoes, any kind of sugar, ...
Yes, Akane, it´s so amazing. In the beginning I thought that the weight might come back easily, but it just doesn´t! Hi Blair.bass.3956, well,...

I´ve lost 8 kg (weighing now 54 kg or 118,8 lbs / 1,64 cm or 5 ft. 4,6 in.) and went from 34 % body fat to 20 %. Originally I only wanted to lose 4 kg, but it was so easy and I love the way I fee...
Where do I find the chapter "The last mile" in the ebook?
Hey guys, I´ve got the german version of the ebook and can´t find the chapter about TLM. Is it embedded in other chapter? Or can you give me a hint, which contents come shortly before or after? ...
Re: Chicken fajitas.
In the beginning I always had scrambled eggs and now I´ve switched to sunny side up, as well. Yummy. And then, there are so many food-ideas developing over time. In the beginning I thought I cou...
And how about lentils? Does she like lentils? I mean in this case eating beans and / or lentils can be a life-saver. But, of course, it´s hard to...
Re: Well the first real SCD challenge is on me.
In Germany you get nice places that serve steaks almost in every bigger city. Look for a "Maredo" restaurant. They have great steaks and a salad bar, where you can choose yourself. Or al...
Re: Five Months of Slow-Carbing (progress report)
Wow! Well done! You look great.
Re: What's your weakness?
Me too. Sweets of all kind. Although I must say, it was more like a habit, now that I know, that I don´t need it and that it´s not tasting as good as before... But then christmas is coming soon...
Re: Worst taste in my mouth.
I have that mostly in the mornings. And as you say, I get that as well shortly after cheat day. And, yes, you get into ketosis that fast, if you go strict on SCD after cheat day. @Akane: Ketosis ...
It´s not that expensive to raise chickens yourself. We have a shelter in our garden and an outside area they can use during the day. We bought 7 ...
Maintenance mode with SCD
Hi everyone, I haven´t reached my target weight yet (3 Kg to go), but I am curious, what to eat then in order to not lose more weight. My boyfriend sometimes says: Well, we are not going to eat...
Good advice! I´ve had a cheat day on my birthday and we had around 12 birthday cakes. I was munching away the whole afternoon. I can only recomm...
