Re: 2 months progress Vegetarian
Might I suggest you greatly increase your water intake., possibly kill the things you are adding to your coffee, wither drink it black or have 1 with full fat cream, or cinnamon. Calories, you mig...
Re: Coffee: My mini-experiment
I did black for 2 months and went back to full fat cream with every coffee I drink.. my losses were the same so I stayed with the cream. Thats just me though .

Why not just use full fat cream as the book suggests?
I would agree with Tanner, try having some different protein sources in the morning. 1 whole + 3 egg whites + turkey bacon. or left over meat fr...

Re: I have a 3 day weekend and I'm thinking about drinking 2 days in a row. Anyway I can get away with this?
If you can put it behind you and not let this be the slippery slope to falling off the plan than dont sweat it. Obviously people are going to say this is a bad idea, but you are only accountable ...
Yeah man.. commit to 6 weeks, thats a small goal, do it 100% and you will notice changes.
Re: Newbie queations
Haters on the internet are protected by anonymity so they remain safe from showing the real world their own failures, ignorance and insecurities. Are Tim's result typical? I would say not. Could...
Re: One year! Fit-aversary!
Outstanding my friend and thank you for sharing!!
Re: So Does Treat Day Get Less Exciting as Time Goes on?
No, I enjoy every last minute of it, been enjoying them since last October. There was a time where I pretended to be above cheat day but screw that, it's my day after a long week of hard work and...
You didn't offend anyone, everyone has their own journey and goals and nothing is finite here. Keep us posted on your results. Love that you ar...

Re: This diet has my weight ALL OVER THE PLACE!
"I'm a spin teacher so I exercise almost everyday...I'm eating really well and I don't cheat a minute before or after saturday (even starting w/ a slow carb breakfast)." One thing that ...
Re: Slow Carb Pizza
Ah the classic MEATZZA!! There is no SCD friendly cheese aside from that wee spoon of cottage cheese and that is nothing you want on a pizza. Wait for cheat day and have the real deal, cheese, dou...
Re: MUST Drink Gatorade, Doctor's Order... Help!
For electrolytes, pickle juice!! Google it, you will see a lot of articles about it. But I think your Dr. wants you to have the sugar and salt combines and they would be the people to listen to ...
Re: Husband wants to go out to dinner?
I destroyed one in Vegas, I was in meat bliss, I actually skipped the salad LOL I wanted all that room for meat.
Tom, thanks for this. You are becoming my go to guy for SCD as I'm on the same losing path and numbers and I dont over think the process. I'm do...
Re: Why we gain weight on cheat day
Tom, are you eating to your daily caloric needs or a deficit for maintenance? or do you just eat SCD as you always have?
Re: SCD versus IF
I think this will be very hard for the average person to call a lifestyle. The second issue I see, once you have a taste of those breads and dairy and sugars etc the opportunity to go back to old...
Re: Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone eats deep fried foods?
What's that old saying "if you fry you die" lol. I wouldn't make it a daily event though.
As Tanner said, you cannot spot target fat loss. All the crunches and planks in the world will do nothing. Keep eating SCD to the letter, it wil...
Re: Success Story (so far)
This is an amazing transformation, great job man, thanks for the pics. After 76 lbs down I'm just under where you started. How tall are you if you dont mind me asking?
Re: eat right for your blood type
In the last web chat with Tim Ferriss, I believe he was going to write an article on why he does not believe eating for your blood type will work as well as SCD. I knew someone who lost weight on...
I prefer my meats in natural form during the week. If you can be assured those lamb strips have none of the filler mentioned by Juan, or sugars, ...
Re: Random Foods
I eat all of those things you have mentioned, except soy sauce and still lose lbs weekly. The mustard/Siracha mixed is a fave of mine on beef or pork patties. Just check the dijon label and make...
Re: Experiences with Cheat Dat
Some people (like myself) are very sensitive to sodium so I retain water weight like crazy after cheat day, especially if I eat those processed foods. Don't let that freak you out, it will come o...
Re: I've stalled! Can I get Meal plan critique ?
I dont think you are hitting your 30 in 30 for protein in the morning.
Re: 6'6 304lbs day 2 and I am already having cravings
I was 327 When I started, anyone that weight got there being addicted to "fun" foods and drinks, I'm 251 now and did that in just over 7 months. 100 lbs down is approaching fast and wou...
Re: Stevia? Seriously?
I tried stevia for the first time about 12 years ago.. in a raw powder form and you had to literally dip the end of a spoon in the powder and use a tiny amount to get that sweet taste and try not ...
Re: 1 more question for the newbie, then I'll hold off for a day. You guys are great!
Good idea, the more you can prep and have ready the better. Sunday nights I pre-cut veggies, have a few cans of beans or lentils in Tupperware and I make home made sausage patties, or pre-cook pem...
My 6 Week Experiment to lose body fat
Ok, so reading a lot of questions and comments about building muscle and losing body fat at the same time, seems to be a 50/50 split and what is possible. I read a lot of outdated bro science and ...
Re: Too much protein
It's probably your best option if you have to eat, depends what source though. Have you tried quashing the hunger with more water?
Something will work for everyone. My friend who got me on this journey never stepped foot in the gym and after 86 lbs down in under 9 months is n...
Re: no gym solution ?
You could start weight training 2-3 days a week to get you going. Check out http://scoobysworkshop.com/intermediate-workout-plan/
I dont think P90x is outdated, anything that gets you up a moving every single day will help you.
For cheat day, consider fruit, greek yogurt or a smoothie, bread/carbs/peanut butter and some sugars for sure. It's part of the process, dont thin...
Re: Soy Sauce???
Look for Tamari, it's the sauce they use in sushi restaurants, I think it tastes better than soy-sauce, a little goes a very long way, and there are no wheat and MSG in them, sugars sit at about 1...
