Re: Nose Bleeds
I can't think if any diet related reason for this- perhaps it is weather related? If you have a humidifier maybe break it out and fire it up.
Re: New member needs a buddy
glad you are jumping in- I definitely understand wanting a mentor/buddy, but if you have as you state "a lot of questions" you might also benefit from posting those questions and having ...
Re: Female. Bacon. Splenda. Crossfit. Plateau?

Re: How many garlic cloves replace 200mg of garlic extract?

Re: Does ALA interfere with Synthroid
The internet is great for getting information, but I think this is an important question that should be answered by a healthcare professional. You should ask your Doctor and a Pharmacist.
Re: Seasoning meat
Depends on the meat- My favorite slow cooker food is Carnitas, plenty of good recipes out there.
Re: Lemons, Yes or no
The issue with fruit is the carbs and sugar... Lemons and limes have negligible amounts of both.
Re: There is sugar in everything!
As with any major change, there will be an adjustment period, if you work out the kinks as you go you will still lose weight but it will probably ramp up after you've been on it for a few weeks an...
Re: Had 4 glasses of wine last night
you slipped up, it happens, just get back on track, cheat saturday and carry on. After your first cheat day you do intend to do 6 SCD days to 1 cheat day, correct?
I use Tamari, another option is Coconut Aminos or you can try using fish sauce instead (yummy)
Re: Long drives!
Chew gum? suck on a toothpick soaked in cinnamon oil? I would think sunflower seeds would be an ok in moderation food, just go with the low sodium ones. Try toasted pumpkin seeds- again in mod...
Re: What's the dose of Kerrygold butter?
That was a lot of fish oil and butter fat you went through, and higher dose doesn't mean more results, why so much? Why are you switching brands? too expensive(see below)? taste? When I take th...
Re: Sashimi. Why do we not hear much about this?
I love Sashimi- not sure why it's not mentioned maybe because it can get spendy? no bean option aside from soy in most sushi restaurants? Have you tried Ceviche? Beef Tartare?
Re: Skipping the Scale Today. How often do you check your weight?
I usually weigh myself cheat day morning, skip the morning after cheat day (though sometimes I do out of morbid curiosity) then measure most mornings, especially if I've done something different t...
Pagg and Cheat day timing?
PAGG people- How do you time your cheat day and day off PAGG? I've heard of people taking the day before off in hopes of getting more PAGG benefits during cheat day, I usually take the day after...
Re: Taking PAAG, does anyone else take other supplements?
oops- I didn't read your question as carefully as I should have I just made red the supplements I think could help with weight loss. I don't take a multi but have toyed with getting one that is a ...
Re: I bought some butter that's totally organic but...
Amanda is totally correct. One thing to consider is Grassfed versus Organic- I'll take non-organic grassfed butter over conventional organic butter any day. Why grassfed? way more good stuff in...
Juan, one thing I found interesting the stuff I get from Costco is much harder than what I get from the supermarket... which means it has less wat...
Re: Anyone losing a butt-load of fat, just to 'bulk' again?
Do you have the book? I'm still dropping weight and trying to get in to reasonable shape so I can pack on som muscle when I reach my weight goal, but when I do I was planning to do Geek to freak...
If you have a Costco Membership they have started selling kerrygold there for much less that at the regular grocery.
Re: travel friendly protein shake?
I find that most Whey protein isolate (what tim recommends) is pretty much the same. I've not had good luck with the flavored stuff but for a quick on the go shake I mix it with some ground flaxse...
Re: I've stalled! Can I get Meal plan critique ?
unless you are using ostrich eggs you are not getting 30 in 30. Read the nutrition info on your egg carton and up your eggs accordingly. Yes that looks like too much lentils- try cutting that in...
Re: SICK OF EGGS!!! Breakfast help?
I agree with what everyone else said. A couple things that made a huge difference for me. No plain eggs- scrambled eggs are boring and can make me gag after so many days, but scrambled eggs wit...
Re: Sauerkraut cold?
Cold is great. Make sure you are getting the living sauerkraut, not the dead stuff.
I do it after cheat day on a regular basis, and sometimes I'll do another day during the week. Yes you would be skipping breakfast and that's ok o...
Re: Cold exposure advice
I bought an ice vest and was very unimpressed- it wasn't that cold and didn't make good contact with my body. I ended up getting a gel pack meant for icing your back that stays on nicely and I hav...
Onion Salad!
We went to a peruvian Chicken place for dinner last night and in addition to awesome chicken they had this great onion salad. Since onions are full of great stuff I thought it would be a great way...
What Juan said. Also since your calories are so low you might want to double check that you are getting enough protein.
I responded to your fast post. if you are stuck in a rut- try adding more protein at every meal. and while I'm sure it's tasty, beef sausage is ...
Re: Intermittent Fasting for Women
I can't speak to how it works for women- but here goes. I've messed around with various IF methods and I think that trying to add in one day of fasting a week is at least worth a try. I would st...
Re: Too much protein
In my opinion there is no such thing as too much protein.
Re: No Legumes - bad? How many Eggs excatly?
1- beans are not required- if you eat, feel full and aren't getting tired you are fine. 2- if you don't get enough food you will stall. I think it's most important to get at least 70 grams of pro...
Re: no gym solution ?
If I read this right you want to be lean and muscular- not bodybuilder muscular. In my opinion HIIT is the best option for working out on the SCD- and you can find plenty of HIIT workouts online. ...
agreed as well- Ashleigh- Cucumbers are pretty high in sugar so I would use them in moderation. As far as the squash- I have no idea I think it w...
Honestly I can't tell the difference in taste between the two, but I'm not a soy sauce connoisseur
thanks Juan and G G for the answers- I had never heard of freezing beans and I know some things change texture/taste when freezing... I just porti...
I agree- sounds totally compliant, and since it's fermented it should have some extra goodness in it in the way of probiotics, live cultures and s...
Re: Soy Sauce???
I would think soy sauce would be avoided due to the sodium and wheat. I second the use of tamari- I've also heard of people using liquid aminos, I've been meaning to try this as I want to cut al...
Beans- sprouting? freezing?
In an attempt to improve the quality of the beans I am getting and reduce the amount of BPA in them I am contemplating switching to dry beans. I've also read that sprouted beans are better for yo...
Time to get back on track
We recently moved, and between things still being unpacked and organized I have used that as an excuse to eat like crap. I've gained 8-10 lbs and am disappointed in myself. So it's time to get b...
Re: How to avoid many drinks at evening
