Apparently compared to Week 9 I am up 1.2 lbs but down about an inch in tape measurements and down 1.3 in BF. And I am also dealing with my TOM so I'm bloated. No matter how buff I...

Like many people on here I am sure after seeing such progress over a week without diet flaws it is hard to bring myself to eat foods that I know are not to protocol. However this week I made sure to be very strict with what I ate so that I could enjoy myself on my cheat day and let me say it was marvelous. To be honest ...

I found this awesome nutrition chart and thought I would share. This link will load the "Protein" meat page but there are also links at the top for Legumes Nuts & Seeds Veggies etc. Personally I was astonished by some of the protein amounts especially in veggies. Hope this link is helpful for others http//www.he...

I am at the end of week 2 and I just did pre weigh in before my cheat day. I'm so sad! I have plateaued after losing 1.9kg in my first week I would be ok if I saw inch loss instead but absolutely nothing. I'm really disappointed not because the diet is hard actually it is not far from what I was already eating but simpl...

Is unsweetened almond milk allowed? I know regular milk and soy milk are a no go.

Hi Everyone I'm a female 5'7'' and my starting weight was 194.8 . Today is my 17 th day on the diet and I have lost 5 pounds so far. I'm just wondering how much each one of you have lost so far and which way do you use to measure fat loss percentage?

I've been intermittent fasting for about 4 days now on a 21/3 schedule fasting 21 hours eating 3. I feel like skipping breakfast is bad! I can't find much information on IF and I was wondering if anyone has experimented with IF and if they have gotten better results with it than slow carb. I feel loyal to slow carb beca...

Yesterday was my first day on the SCD but I feel as if I'm not consuming enough calories. I hear your not supposed to eat less than 1200 calories and I think my total for yesterday was only around 900 some. I was just wondering if this was ok considering that I wasn't hungry after each meal but if i needed to up my calorie i...

So i just ate beef jerky without realizing it had sugar in it and its the first time of slipping up after a month on this diet. Is this gonna screw up my whole week? do I still get to pig out during the Super Bowl? Im gonna go work out like a maniac right now! Thanks guys!

Will I still lose weight if I eat foods that have a lot of fat? How much is allowed on the slow-carb diet?

I'm confused because aren't edamame beans considered soy beans? And aren't we not allowed Soy? So I would think we can't have them?

Hello I saw an interview Tim did on the Dr. Oz show and looked him up online and I am VERY interested in starting this diet. It seems to emphasize the low/slow carb point of view which I nice. I already started cutting white carbs out of my diet and felt a definite reduction in bloating. I'm interested in all the tips the ...

I'm roughly 7 weeks into SCD and so far it's been going okay - I've been bad on the measurement front so I can't say exactly how much weight I have lost but I certainly think I look a bit thinner in the face and around the waist so at least I am heading in the right direction. One of my big pleasures is rice in its myriad ...

5 weeks 35 Days Down 9 lbs. and 4.75 inches.

Here are a few of my adaptations that have lead to my success - 1 GAL of water daily no exceptions. My...

Oh god I've been craving a protein bar for days!! ARRRG!! ITS DRIVING ME NUTS. It's on my mind 24-7. I'm not craving anything sweet or sugar I want something crunchy and full in my mouth like how protein bars are. Any advice how to subdue cravings like this? Sunny

I'm hoping I'm not crazy.... I've always had out of wack emotions a few days before my period. When life is good it's not as noticeable and when it's blue it can be a brick wall. Lately--last year or so--it's been manageable. I've been on the 4HD for two cycles now and both pre period days have been horrible....super em...

Hi Everyone I started this diet shortly after the new year and lost 8 lbs in the first 3 days. Most of this was holiday bloat so my current weight is pretty much what it's been for most of my adult life. Since week 1 I've gained and lost the same pound every few days for NINE weeks. My meals have changed significantly...
