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 I read a lot of outdated bro science and ...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...
Re: Beans- sprouting? freezing?
I made refried black beans from scratch, tasted great, was easy to make and I froze 1/2 and portioned them out.
Re: 5th week update, not disappointed anymore, even a little enthusiastic now :)
"3 scrambled eggs with half a can of red kidney beans, half of a cucumber and ice salad." Not sure if you are hitting your 30 grams here, add more protein and you can cut the beans to 1/...
Re: Supplements or SCD allowed food for better mental activity
You dont drink coffee or tea? The PAGG stack has Green Tea in it. B12 is something to research as well. Are you working out?
Re: Overdue for a check-in, Just hit a massive landmark!
You are a huge (in a smaller body) inspiration and proof that this way of eating and way of life will get you the results you desire. Keep us updated and good luck on your next set of goals.

As mentioned in a different post,I think the binging will pass, you will just get sick of feeling like crap after iver binging. I'm the same, I l...

Re: Who has a Summer 'Goal'?
This summer I'll be about 9 months into the year of weight loss and projected to be down about 100 lbs and 22-24% body fat. So I wont be walking around shirtless this year, but next summer I prob...
Re: SCD without PAGG stack
I have never used it, 70 lbs down, I dont think I would have lost more or less weight on it.
Re: Mental control to simply remain adequate
My first cheat day lunch was epic, 6 tacos, rice, cheese, sour cream etc. The after effects were epics as well and I'll spare all the details because I want to forget it too. What you will find a...
Re: What is your favorite food/method for cheat day?
I tried tame cheat days and I've tried full on binges with lot of beer etc I gain about the same and it takes about the same amount of days to lose the weight. Eat how you want to eat on your che...

Re: Got my Bosu!
Good price you paid for that BOSU. What's your body fat %? Ab exercises wont make you lose belly fat, even if you have a thin layer of fat on your abs. Nothing wrong with working on getting a ...
Re: How do I learn to love spinach?
I'm with you, I hate it. I eat once a week, I put my taco & beans mix on it with a ton of hot sauce and then I can stomach it. Wilted with garlic & pepper is not too bad but rarely will...
Re: This kinda freaked me out this morning
Good job man!!! I too have gotten my neck back.
Re: Tired and sluggish
You need to eat more for sure. I eat SCD and lift weights 5 days a week and there is no way I would be able to if I was tired and sluggish. But we are all different and react to changes differen...
Re: Almond butter at night
I don't think it helps with losing fat what it does is prevents from your blood sugar from crashing during the overnight. These is a quote by Tim Ferriss regarding the perfect sleep. "Hav...

Re: JUMPED into a bag of chips...

Re: is this ok to use in the morning/at lunch?
I would suggest finding 0 sugar 0 carb protein powder or as close to that as possible. Beans are the carbs in the slow carb diet. Beans are a slow-release carbohydrate foods, carbs that are abso...
Re: Newborn at Home
