When you say 4 oz of protein, do you mean the weight of the whole piece of meat? Because 4 oz of sockeye salmon contains 31 g of protein, whereas ...

Thought this would be a PM, but meh.
I've been reading your posts the past few days, and your situation really hits home for me. I was also 20 when I decided enough was enough, and it was time to lose weight. I hadn't weighed myself ...
Re: Four weeks in, not a change...frustrated
You don't mention how much of each food item you're getting. Be sure that you're getting more vegetables than legumes and meat/protein each meal. Something else I've read about (but not experienc...
Re: Honey? Good or bad?
You might have an unbearable sweet tooth because you have an addiction to sweet things, and SCD deprives you of anything sweet. You just have to push back against it until your cheat day; then you...
Not to just repeat the same point over and over, but getting ahold of a copy of 4 Hour Body is really important. Tim Ferriss' writing style is qui...
Re: Dark Chocolate
My instinct is that it is not SCD-friendly because it usually contains sugar; it's candy, after all. Even if you found sugar-free dark chocolate, I would only consume it sparingly.
I think I developed allergies to nearly everything I was consuming since my diet consisted of so few things. I don't think changing up my entire d...
Re: 8 weeks and kinda frustrated :(
Since you didn't post the quantities of each item you ate, it's difficult to judge, but what really raises a red flag to me is that you're only eating vegetables at first lunch. Try adding broccol...
Back on the Wagon (Need Feedback)
After having so little #variety in my diet it caused me to develop food allergies, I took a break from SCD. Now I'm getting back on the wagon. I made a new diet with more vegetables (because I was...
Trouble Viewing Site
For the past several days, I have had trouble viewing the site. This has ranged from the homepage being just a blank white screen to (currently) only certain pages looking like incompletely render...
Hall of Successful Meal Plans
Since I managed to give myself food allergies slow carbing, I need to avoid those foods for a few months, which means I need a whole new diet. I want to see what other people who have lost weight ...
Food Allergies from Repititious Eating
Apparently, eating a lot of something every day for a long period of time can cause the body to develop an allergic reaction to it. Tim suggests to eat the same few things over and over for a succ...
I didn't think anymore needed to be said, but I re-phrased my response.
Re: Fruit before soccer
One of the rules listed in 4 Hour Body for Slow Carb Diet is to avoid fruit: 3. Don’t Eat Fruit – Fruit is high in sugar and is not a must have for a diet. Fructose can be a killer.
One of the guidelines of SCD is to keep your meals simple. If you're preparing with flour of any kind, the meal is probably not a simple meal. Bes...

Re: Turkey Bacon?
A lot of us don't eat bacon. Try chicken breast or steak, instead. Try to avoid processed meats altogether, as most of them have wheat, corn, or sugar products added to them. Some studies have al...

Re: Cinnamon w/o coffee: how to?
I don't like mixing it with my coffee, either, because it doesn't stay mixed. Instead, I started cooking my lentils with a lot of cinnamon and a lot of curry powder, as well as some cayenne pepper...
Re: Almost ZERO weight loss after 32 days- frustrated to say the least.
I agree with @Jake about cutting out the lentils at dinner, and the milk and wine, but I would also cut out the almond butter and brazil nuts. I know that I can't have any nuts whatsoever or I see...
Re: chestnut flour
Nuts are a restricted food on SCD.
Re: Can I chew gum?
I think you answered your own question.
[HealthDay] Too Much Fructose Sweetener Tied to Heart Risks in Teens
High fructose corn syrup is probably the biggest contributor to fructose in children's diets, but I think this is evidence to support the "No fruit" rule of Slow Carb Diet; not to say th...
Re: Beer Weight
Alcohol in general, but especially beer, makes me retain fluid like crazy. I'll usually have gained 10 pounds after a cheat day from the morning before, and more if I have had alcohol on cheat day...
Third the idea of talking to your doctor.
Re: Re-heating meals? Microwave vs Frying pan?
Frying pan and oven always trump microwave for flavor. There is currently no solid scientific evidence that microwaving food is linked to cancer, but it does play havoc with certain plastics (i.e...
Re: Sugar free gum
Each person reacts differently to sweeteners. For some, weight loss is unaffected, and for others, it's like consuming sugar. You will just have to experiment with it and see. Also, your post is ...
