Re: anyone doing intermittent fasting with scd? Results?
My last experiment with a 36-hour fast resulted in a much higher weekly loss than I'd normally see with no side effects at all. Tonnes of water and lots of black coffee kept me going easily and I...
Re: Pork Roll yea or nay?
I'd say it's an 'in moderation' food, very low carb content but very high in fat too. Around twice as much fat than protein, gram-for-gram. It's also quite sodium-rich, so you'd want to try and ...
Re: Electronic ab stimulators
Electric muscle 'stimulators' are some of the biggest piles of crap on the market right now and are sheer and total wastes of money. If you have flab on your stomach then the only way to make you...
Re: Starting up - food plan
That meal plan sounds fine to me apart from one pretty major ommission. Legumes. There's 0 legumes in any of your meals and this is more akin to a ketogenic diet like Atkins. Your calorie count...
Re: Has anyone ever gained everything back on the 2nd cheat day?

Re: Is this an appropriate breakfast?
Add another egg or some egg whites and you're golden. Total protein falls just short of the 30g, but only ever-so-slightly, if you can stomach another egg then I don't think it'd hurt. Although y...
Re: Before and during: I'm still fat
Wow, you should absolutely, in no way, be beating yourself up about those results. Really noticeable visible improvement, especially considering you were a stone heavier than that before you star...
Re: Curious as to how much this will "hurt me"
You'll probably either stall, or at least limit, your overnight weight loss. One tiny bit of cake in the long run won't derail you, at least not physically. Just don't fall into the mental trap o...

Re: Mental cheat day
The amount of food I've eaten/can stomach in total has gone down with each cheat day but I still absolutely love them. While I can never stomach as much as I promise myself I'm going to eat, fina...
Re: Just modifying breakfast as a gateway?
First of all, starting with breakfast is definitely the way forward. With regards to the protein shakes, I know a lot of people drink them to comply with the “30 within 30” rule (30g of prote...
Re: Cissus and or pagg giving you body odor?
Some spices and garlic will produce bacteria that breaks down really quickly and is released through your pores as you sweat. In your case, it's probably the allicin in the garlic. I've always no...
Re: has anyone tried skipping breakfast?
I've just tried almost a week of skipping breakfast, eating the same lunch every day and similar evening meals; here's what I noticed. Wednesday morning, no change from the previous morning Thurs...
Re: Awesome Slow Carb Recipes...I'll Go First
Awesome Recipe No. 1 My favourite thing to make for lunch is a huge pot of chili that I can then portion out and eat whenever I feel like it. This makes somewhere between 5-7 servings depending on...
Good accompaniments to kimchi?
Hello you beautiful people. I like the sound of kimchi, from what I can tell it's quite strong, spicy and quite sour, that certainly does appeal to me. I was wondering if anyone has any suggesti...
Fantastic advice Gretchen!
Re: Incorporating workout into SCD?

Re: It's hot outside- what to eat?
Probably not the most imaginative of dishes but you could try a salad with some lentils/mixed beans and lots of spinach. That's what I resort to when I'm feeling lazy in work.
Thanks a lot beaujac! Do you think I could make this a regular breakfast if I hammered the water? I usually drink a pint of water with breakfast, ...
