    I asked a question:

    Getting tired of plain old beans??

    I saw this done on a cooking show and wanted to try it, since beans, after a while, can get pretty boring. All you need is a bean of your choice (canned), I usually use small white beans since the...

    I asked a question:

    Thought this might be helpful...

    So I've been doing SCD since August, and honestly have not seen any results. The only reason i stayed true to it is because I don't have to get on an elliptical for an hour 5 days a week just to m...

    I asked a question:

    great deal on vitamins

    So as you know, a lot of us take a number of vitamins each day and that gets expensive. So if you want to save some money, puritan.com has a deal... buy 1 get 1 free, or buy 2 get 3 free! And they...

    Re: Can women skip cheat day?

    I wouldnt say skip it all together, but you could try spreading them out a little more; like instead of once a week, try 8-10 days. I was seeing almost no results when I was doing my cheat days ev...

    I asked a question:

    For women, I think I need help. Period questions.

    Okay, so my ride on the SCD has been sort of up and down. Let my start by saying I'm 5'7" and 128-133 lbs. I've been on it for about 3 months, and all in all I've lost and regained the same d...

    I asked a question:

    Green olives?

    Why aren't olives allowed? I know they are a fruit, but there's no sugar or anything in an olive and if we can use olive oil, why can't we eat them?

    Re: Are Pork Rinds ok?

    Just read the ingredients. If all it is is fried pork skins and maybe some salt, then they're probably fine. But even so, I'd stay away from them.
