protein shake

Can someone please post a comprehensive list of exactly what foods are allowed and not allowed on the slow-carb diet? I keep hearing contradicting things and just want a list that I can print out once and for all.

I've had very mixed results recovering from Cheat Day based on what I eat. What are some of the foods that other people have found led to unexpectedly high weight gain water weight retention etc.? Pizza seems particularly bad.

A LOT of people following the slow carb diet to burn fat are getting lazy and using protein powders to meet the '30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking' requirement. Unfortunately this may derail your fat-loss efforts not solely because of the sucralose which is still bad for weight loss but also because whey prot...

This is a post for those of us doing SCD with lots of weight to lose 100 lbs in my case who have a long and distinguished history of overeating. In short if you are someone who is used to overeating this eating plan will work better if you monitor portions and identify a daily caloric goal below your maintenance calor...

I workout first thing in the AM or it doesn't happen. Can I wait until my workout usually 30-45 min is over to eat or should I eat first? It would litterally be eat put dishes in dishwasher workout so I don't know if that's too soon. I expect most days I'll be eating 2 scrambelled eggs w/ veggies.

What is the final consensus on Slow-Carbers having Whey Protein Shakes for breakfast? I mean the kind with that you buy in the barrel and mix with water not the pre-made kind that are loaded with carbs I have heard - only if you are working out yes they are fine avoid them altogether... So which is it? I know they hav...

I started the SCD just over 3 months ago and have reached my goal. I have had amazing success - I have lost 7kg and 4BF. I now weigh a healthy 60kg bodyfat down from 14 to 10 - caliper 4 point method. I look and feel fantastic. I am never hungry and have more energy than ever. I am in the best shape of my life. And i...

I had great results following the slow carb diet and a lot of people wanted to know exactly what I ate and how I exercised. So I'm going to post my detailed meal plan here and encourage you to do the same. I certainly did NOT follow all of the rules! My diet was more protein heavy because I really hate beans Tim said to jus...

Hello my fellow SCD teammates Long story short I started at 215lbs and I am now 183lbs. I followed the diet pretty strictly and went nuts on my cheat day. 700am wake up 710 am- protein shake in the shower standard process SP complete diary free shake and morning vitamins 1200pm 2 chicken breasts 2 cups of...

Does anyone have any tips for me. I'm starting the last mile today. I'm a female and have hit the final plateau while slow carbing. Have about 5 more pounds to loose. I haven't been workout out on slow carb and want to start again on the last mile. Could anyone draw me out a workout schedule with exercises? I really don't k...

So like I said I started this diet about 3 weeks ago. I was doing fabulously! I was so stoked and excited about how easy it was. I even recommended this book to some friends and all of them are now starting. Anyway back to my story. After realizing that eating so much food in the morning was rather difficult for me I deci...

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...

What's the best post-workout protein shake you've ever used and why is it your favorite? Mine is the chocolate SYNTHA-6 shake not the mix. The shake has 40g of lean protein and only 2g of sugar but the best part is that it actually tastes like a real chocolate milkshake unlike stuff like Muscle Milk which tastes like chem...

For those of you in the muscle building phase and following Geek-to-Freak or Occam's protocol I recommend taking before & after photos to track your results. I'm ecstatic about my results I started the Geek-to-Freak protocol only 12 days ago after successfully losing 15lbs in 3 weeks from the slow-carb diet and check me ...

Is there's a special recipe adapted to women for the protein shake? As soon as I started taking it I got fatter the next morning. Then I found out it had 975 calories which is 450 calories for breakfast alone plus my breakfast no wonder! Anyway should I be skipping breakfast altogether and just having the protein shake? ...

My current protein powder says "very low lactose" and contains trace amounts of sucrolase. I'm scared that this will effect my weight loss so i havent been using it. are there any slow carb approved protein powders out there that you could introduce me to?

5 weeks 35 Days Down 9 lbs. and 4.75 inches. Elated So the first week kind of doesn't count as I was still pretty much addicted to white wine but I have honed in my mistakes thanks to the 4H folks on this forum. Here are a few of my adaptations that have lead to my success - 1 GAL of water daily no exceptions. My...

I know that all artificial sweeteners are supposed to stall fat loss but to what extent? A lot of the protein bars and shakes out there contain sucralose / Splenda. I'm curious to know if I there's a specific limit on how much I can have per day?

I want to do the Geek to Freak and am confused as to which supplements to take. 4HB describes Occam's Prescriptions pg 208 and then another set of supplements on Geek to Freak pg 186. Which one should I follow?

I am still in the slow carb stage. I am wondering what protein shake I can have? Mostly for quick mornings or a fast lunch when needed. Is a sugar free whey the best option?

I know most people say they feel like they have MORE energy but I'm feeling significantly more tired. Just wondering if I'm detoxing sugar or something? Anyone have any ideas?

Recently I have been trying to integrate avocados into my diet. I know they have a lot of fat but most of it is mono or polyunsaturated fat so it's still quite healthy when eaten in moderation. The other day I mixed half a avacado into my protein shake and surprinsingly it got a pudding like consistency and it tasted realy ...

Wondering if it's a good idea to take cinnamon daily or just on cheat days?

Since Ramadan starts after tomorrow i need advice from anyone that would know/recommend a training/diet regiment that could work in order to maintain my current program. Ramadan is a month of fasting from sunrise to sunset. No water no food all day. So i need to fit all meals and workouts from sunset to sunrise. Check my p...

I started this diet 6 weeks ago and so far have lost a measly 1lb - which is really ridiculous. I do thoroughly enjoy my cheat days and don't do PAGG or the whole grape/lemon juice thing or the exercises. If you have to do all that then to me it's really not a cheat day. Anyway I'm completely strict the rest of the wee...

I usually use that in my morning protein shake and haven't since starting this but would prefer that over the vanilla powder that I have been adding for the additional protein. I know that peanuts are not allowed but I thought I 'd get some opinions before I use it. Here's the nutritional info PB2 Powdered Peanut Butt...

Hi I find it very hard to get 30g of protein when i wake up mostly because i have NO appetite for at least a few hours. I was thinking of having a protein shake instead. From what ive read on here i need to avoid whey protein because it spikes insulin however casein protein is ok? Im thinking of buying this one but want...

I bought chia seeds at the grocery store because i've heard REALLY good things about them superfoods help you poop blah blah blah but of course the question is... are they SCD approved?? I figured i'd add them to my protein pancakes or protein shake unflavored whey isolate post workouts. Thoughts??

I've gone 17lbs total in two months but practically all of that was in the first month. For the last 20 days I've been bouncing between 247 and 244 lbs and I can't figure out why. For breakfast between 730am - 830am I would eat what Tim recommended in the book spinach egg whites salsa but I cannot stand eggs. They ...

So I read enough posts on how bad a whey protein powder shake is so bad for me so I decided to stop doing that and eat regular protein from natural stuff instead. My normal morning routine is get up and do a 48g whey protein shake that had 220 calories. That has kept me on track at 3.5lbs / week for 11 weeks. Total loss o...

Hello all Thanks for all the great posts here. I appreciate the work the community does to support and help each other. I am considering trying to get my father interested in the SCD and I am very intrigued by Tim's story of the success his father had simply by having a protein shake in the morning. He has at least 50 lbs...

Hi everyone! I have been on the 4HB diet for a few weeks now and the most difficult thing for me is getting those 30g of protein within the first 30min of the day. I get up very early to catch a train for work and generally get up as late as possible to give myself a decent rest. I always prepare myself the night before f...

Or is it more productive to replace a meal with a protein shake? I'm an exercising newbie if you haven't been able to tell

After having been 8 months off I've decided to get back on the SCD and give the experiment of renewing myself another go. There were several factors that made me quit last time First christmas was coming up which meant working double hours. I didn't have the time or energy to cook and shop for SCD foods. Second I was...
