Good idea- although I'm one of those all or nothing people so one square easily turns into a bar!
Can't get started...
I did slow carb for a good 6 months and took a good few months off, eating low carb, healthy and still having chocolate which I love! I'm pretty close to my goal weight but can't seem to get back ...
Just came across this post as haven't been on here for a while. Sam, I empathise completely- I've have had an eating disorder for as long as I can...
Re: Week 2 (lack of) progress
Although its frustrating to gain when you've put in the effort but try and forget this past week. The gain could well be water retention. My feeling is you need to get organised with meals and try...
Not necessarily you can choose raw chocolate sweetened with berries and coconut products. When I say vegan I mean more a luxury raw chocolate rang...

Re: What to do with flaxseed meal?
Will try and find the recipe but I'm sure I saw microwave flaxbread somewhere. I think it's made with two beaten eggs and two tablespoons of flaxseed meal mixed in a bowl. Make sure you grease the...

Your body metabolises food differently while you sleep so no, cheat day is only a 12 hour period between rising and sleeping on the same day.
Re: Spinach, squeezed lemon smoothie with Almond Milk
Look at the nutritional info of the almond milk to make sure carbs are low and also that there aren't any added sugars. Carrots are starcy veg so they contain more sugar, for some people they are ...

Re: What do you eat when you're not hungry?
Try reducing beans and focussing more on protein, green veg and a little fat. When I started 4 hour body I got fed up of the beans so omitted them altogether and replaced with some healthy fats- I...
Re: Help - Last mile combined with Intermittent fasting
It seems to me that you're not having enough fat and are currently predominantly having protein. Try swapping peanuts for another fatty nut- there are more carbs in peanuts as they are actually le...
I think it's supposed to be a 'metal' taste that you can get if you're in ketosis... On the bright side, you'll be burning more fat if you are
Maybe take into account losing muscle and gaining fat?
Re: How to approach maintenance?
A big congratulations Sam- do make sure you stay on the site! Your input has been really helpful and you've definitely helped to answer a great deal of my questions
Agreed!
Thanks for this Joshua, I have tried this after cheat day but tried on a couple of other days and felt really faint (my job is very active.) I rea...
Back to basics...
First few months on SCD were really successful- tweaked when needed but have now definitely come to a standstill (stalling for around 6 weeks.) I know I haven't been as strict as I could have over...
A little confused...
So I weighed myself on thursday morning- 53.9kg.... friday morning 52.8kg.... Saturday morning 53.4kg. I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself everyday but I was just a little curious to see ...
Burpees as damage control?
I wondered as burpees are a high intensity cardio exercise with definite muscle contraction whether they'd be appropriate as a glut-4 exercise? That way can burn some calories too!

Try Macadamia nuts, incredibly low in carbs and high fat- they taste so good!
Re: What I ate at CPK last week
Sounds yummy- watch out for the corn though, pretty sure this isn't allowed on SCD!
Re: Bulimia and Cheat Day: A Mystery
Hey, I used to be bulimic years ago and have been anxious about my weight ever since. Before SCD I controlled my weight with a restricted calorie diet and loads of exercise. I know on a few of my ...
Re: Where can you get edmame beans in England?
Birds eye sell a frozen pack of green soya beans (where you find the peas) which are the same as edamame- They're under £2 for a bag I think. Also Japanese food shops will sell them in the frozen...
No more fasts Sam- they completely mess up your digestive system from lack of fibre!
They are pretty amazing- so tasty!
Or I may have misunderstood you and you have skinless anyway?
