Re: Skippin Breakfast?
I don't recall it being in the book, but after reading recos on here and further research, I have given up breakfast. I was never a breakfast person (well, actually I LOVE "breakfast" fo...
Re: What are your exceptions?
Sugar free popsicles in the tropical variety (hello pineapple!) have saved my banana on a number of occasions! Sweetener yes, but if Tim recommends the jell-o for such things, I think the popsicle...
Re: Bacon wrapped eggs
I'm commenting on this to bump it, because it is so good and deserves attention! I make these every week and keep some in the fridge for snacks or quick breakfast; 45 secs in the microwave re-hea...
Re: can I skip my cheat day?
Some folks don't do cheat day, and see fine results, so it may be a matter of what is tolerable for you. As people say, experiment and track! For me, the psychological benefit of not feeling like ...
Re: Guilt on Cheat day?
I don't, but that's mainly because I consider it part of the diet, and not a "cheat" at all. It's just a no rules day. At first I was gorging myself on everything I could lay eyes on and...
Re: Cheat tomorrow
Agreed! On my menu for tomorrow is brunch at Du-par's (they have THE BEST pancakes I have ever had in my life, I mean seriously other-worldly) and a dinner of comfort food in the form of my dad's ...
HA! That is awesome. Just triple the cheesecake slices, and you should get there!
I use butter almost daily as well and fresh lemon in my water (I can't tolerate it otherwise), as well as in some salad dressings. No ill effects ...
Re: I"m gaining weight??? wth?
ITA with the other posters here. Like gretchenlin, I track with a spreadsheet, and most of the time it looks like a mountain range! Lots of peaks & valleys.... but as long as it keeps going do...
So are tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Since those are fine in moderation, olives should be too.
Agreed! The sliced black variety are awesome on an SCD-approved "southwestern" taco salad! And if I can't have feta on my greek salad, y...
Re: are artichokes SCD friendly?
I'm not sure I trust that site. It says olives are a no, and I cannot find any reason as to why that might be the case.
Re: Digestive Issues?
I'm no doctor, but.... seems unlikely to me that it's a dietary issue since you've been eating the same food for months and only been experiencing this in the last few days. Is there anything else...
Re: Occasional Fruit
A probiotic supplement has worked wonders for me in terms of regularity, and frankly, overall composition, comfort, and aesthetics of my... "product". TMI! I know! But they work in my ...
Re: Best morning bean recipes?
I make a mess o' ground beef with beans on the weekend, to which I add some scrambled eggs and salsa every morning. I usually saute the beef with onions and garlic, sometimes some chopped pepper (...
Awesome, thanks!
Re: I need a better way to cook chicken
My favourite chicken is of the already roasted variety at the supermarket! They usually don't cost that much more and are good, not to mention fast! Roasting chicken yourself is easy. Get a roast...
Re: Shrimp and Avocado Cauliflower Rice Bowl
What's the best way to make cauliflower rice? A food processor or a ricer?
Re: I want grass fed beef PROOF
I'm not sure I recall reading anywhere (in 4HB or otherwise) that it was better for fat loss? I think it's just healthier for you in general as it's more natural - and grain feed actually alters t...
In praise of Cheat Day
A million years ago (in my 20s) I did Atkins with great success. It was my first dieting experience, and maybe because of that I found it easy and sustainable - for awhile. After losing 60 lbs in ...
Re: Salsa alternative for breakfast?
Similar to others, I make up a mess of stuff in advance - usually on Sunday I'll put together some mixture of meat and beans, which I portion out into the frying pan over the course of the week, a...
Re: Kettlebell beginner weight for Inactive Slugs?
Hi Joy, I would probably put myself in the same category as you, and I only recently started (2 weeks ago) - but if it helps, I went lower than Tim's recommendation of I think 36-44 lbs (for wome...
Give a warm welcome to me!
