Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and me!

Ruthe314

Hi,
Last year was tough (as it was for a lot of us) and I slowly gained weight I had managed to keep off for over a decade. 20 pounds later I was more than panicked when my clothes weren't fitting anymore. This panic coincided with having to go off Humira (for Crohn's disease).
I started the SCD about 2 months ago and have had a pretty rapid weight loss since. I'm within a pound or two of my goal weight and, although the SCD is super restrictive, I'm feeling pretty good. Symptoms are minimal for the Crohn's and I'm fitting into all my old clothes! Yay!
But MAN! It's hard to follow this diet. My main motivator is not wanting to go back on a scary drug. Food cures are very attractive and I really think this one has a lot of scientific evidence in its favor.
So I'm looking for kindred spirits here! Are you on the SCD and trying to lose weight/get fit?
I'm also a long distance runner - joy of my life!
Message me if you have been on or are starting the SCD, I could use the encouragement, and I'll encourage you too!
Thanks!
