Re: Sigh......
Making it to Day 9 is a HUGE achievement! Think back to your Day 2! It's hard giving up the foods you once loved. There's temptation all around. And, it's never easy in the beginning. But, just r...
Re: Legume Debate...
So random! I ran across this site last night from a link on another site. To further add to Beorn86's answer: This type of diet is primarily a Paleo diet, a diet that tries to mimic the diets of...
I'm at the point where I said I'd stick with SCD or find something else. On my second 30-day stall and a little tired of it. I've lost 19 lbs. Thou...
Day 122. After this weekend I've got plans to get super serious with the SCD. I'm tired of the stalls and know it has to do with the inconsistencie...

Re: how do i stop eating when bored/procrastinating
Oh, lordy! When I went back to school in my 40s I could easily polish off an entire box of Girl Scout cookies when I was stuck on an assignment. My drafting table was right next to my kitchen so i...
hahaha! Instant weight loss! Instant weight gain! I always have to use the dial to make sure the needle is right on 0. Don't want any false readin...
Re: Pouring My Heart Out Here
Everyone answered all your questions beautifully. The only two things I will add... Ferris says that you don't have to read the entire book. He says you only have to read the chapters that you ar...
Day 121. Fluctuating the last couple of days. Mostly stuck to the SCD this past weekend. Had a few cocktails, a cheat meal Sunday night and last ni...
Hi Toia, I'm a vegetarian so I'm not the person to ask about meat. However, I think a stew would be fine... beans, meat, and veggies slow cooked ...

Day 116. Prepping food and packing for a 3-day gig in PDX. Glad I'll be staying at someone's home and not in a hotel. Will make the SCD routine eas...
Don't let any nasty trolls get you down! The rest of us are here to help and encourage you!!!
Exactly, dianne! Why discourage and insult people who are just starting out? That's not positive or helpful at all. If you want to see and use so...
That was rude and uncalled for, beardwiz.
I know that yogurt & honey are not allowed. Most of us here know that. I wasn't about to use chocolate protein powder in a savory recipe. I ...
In what way is this recipe not SCD? The only thing in the recipe that is not allowed is lemon juice and it's a minimal amount.
Ah, muffins! YES! The batter is the right consistency. I used the full 20 minute baking time for the cookies so be sure to adjust your time accord...
Re: Garbanzo Cookies!:
Just took these out of the oven! I actually like them! COOKING NOTES! The batter smells a little green/grassy. This may put some people off. I...
The first two weeks are all it takes to adjust to the SCD. Within the first two weeks your cravings should go away and you'll settle into a routin...
I ditto what tinesloaf and 42Wired said!
Re: String cheese as a pick-me-up?
Others will tell you this also... if you're hungry between meals you're not eating enough at each meal. And, if you're eating enough at each meal there should be no need to snack between meals. H...
I know! I won't use any other vanilla! I live in a community where there are a lot of Hispanics so we have at least four Mexican groceries here i...
Re: Sugar....what can I do??
Try adding cinnamon, of course, and vanilla! Make sure it's pure vanilla without any sugar added. If you can find it Mexican vanilla is the BEST!!!
Re: 5 days inbetween cheat days
I had two cheat days in a row at my niece's wedding. The day of the wedding and the day after for a big family picnic. I ate tons of cake, pasta, bread, and drank lots of beer and champagne. It di...
Day 115. Couldn't resist the morning weigh in. Even though it can be frustrating I love to see how much I fluctuate daily. Back to 170 again.
Oh, didn't think that it might not be available in Italy. In my grocery there are grinders in the natural food section... one for peanuts and one ...
Re: Let's hear it for Cauliflower Rice!
I love cauliflower rice!!! For those that don't have a food processor you can just use a cheese grater with large holes over a bowl. It's super fast and easy. I also don't have a microwave so I...
Re: sugar fix after a meal???
I was the same way. I always loved to have a piece of chocolate after a meal. However, after time the cravings do go away. However, occasionally the craving will rear its ugly head and when that's...
Your October check-in post is super inspiring. I'm so happy you did that and that others are responding! It helps all of us see the success of othe...
Thanks, Jones! I had my annual thyroid checkup yesterday. The doc was looking at my chart and read, "Overweight" (last time he saw me ...
Garbanzo Cookies!
Don't let the word COOKIE throw you off! Just saw this recipe on Bodyrock.tv. It looks like it might be an awesome to-go food for those on the go! I'm going to make these as soon as I can, but i...
I definitely see and feel a difference in the fit of my clothes. I'm just frustrated because I was expecting much faster results after reading the ...
five-nine here. I'm in the shorty in the family (except for my mom), but I tower over most of my friends!
I know! I know! You are so right. But, it's what keeps me on track. I get motivated to stick with the SCD whether it goes up or down! I'm lazy when...
Day 114. Damn it! Back up to 172 this morning. Huh?
