Ok so I need your opinions: I have had a cold since Sunday. I have been keeping up with eating the proper foods while on this diet but I have been having the various cold medicines include cough drops but I only have 3 a day if that. I also have no lost my cheat day weight yet (cheat day was Sunday) Do you really think…

I look but only at the people who make it look easy to run and 8 mph! I have enough trouble running at 5.2 mph and I want to know how they make it look like they are jogging and NOT sprinting like I would be?!?

Does anyone have some ideas what I could do with crawfish? Since its fat Tuesday I really want to make something with crawfish in it for dinner but I want to have it be SCD friendly... I could have just straight up crawfish sauteed in some oil but if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it :smile:

@mcferg I agree with the pork rinds I will keep them to a minimum but they are a nice salty crunch when needed. Thanks for the recipe I was just thinking about how I was going to have filling enough breakfasts on the no meat days during Lent. Can't wait to try it!

As far as the coffee breath goes I find that if I continuously drink water with my coffee and then chug like 8 oz when I am done it takes away any coffee breath I may have. I haven't taken a poll from my friends regarding the smell of my breath but my mouth seems to taste better. I agree with the artificial sweetener…

@mcferg you only have to PERFORM the exercises for 60-90 seconds a few minutes before the meal and then again 90 minutes later so it appears the effects last for 90 minutes so enjoy that cheat meal :)

Little off topic, note to self don't buy Planters Select mixed nuts! They are horribly addicting and totally trigger foods!

I completely agree with you! It doesn't seem like they are will to fix the underlying problem and they go for the "quick" fix which only ends up costing them more in the long run because of the fact that many people who get surgery to fix their obesity issues end up going back to their old habits (as do many people who…

Yum! Bump!

My usual non-cheat day looks like this: Breakfast: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup of pinto beans, 1/4 of black beans, some sort of veggie and maybe another type of protein AM Snack: hard boiled egg and pinto and black beans Lunch: Usually a Chicken breast, some sort of frozen vegetable medley, and black and pinto beans about…

How often are we suppose to do these square/presses/pulls? I thought it was just on cheat day am I suppose to do it more often?

Yeah i listened to it, and I would not recommend reading it! They were extremely negative and VERY graphic with stuff. They don't believe in eating meat and stuff like that so I would recommend a NO on this one. You should look into the book "The end of Overeating" that one was pretty interesting.

Ok so post cheat day weight.... only up 1.1 lbs! I didn't cheat too bad because I wasn't craving anything but I made sure that I ate plenty of things that were higher in calories... probably only had 3000 calories... hope that was enough to confuse my body!

OK so I am down 5.5 lbs and today is my FIRST Cheat day... I am very nervous! I actually do not want to cheat! But I know its for the better if I do. So other than the citrus drink and the exercises before the bad meals is there anything you guys would recommend after doing this for a while? I do not plan on going over the…

So I am on day 3 of this and so far I LOVE it! I am actually not craving anything like bread or pasta or rice or anything for that matter... I've lost some weight but not going to celebrate yet as I am sure it could just be water but I actually feel thinner! Well all I have to say is I am happy with this diet and glad to…

Ok so I am on day one and I am wondering if its possible to eat too many "slow carbs"? I haven't had lunch yet (I had breakfast and a midmorning snack/first lunch) and I have already had a cup of legumes is this too much? I wish I had some numbers that I am suppose to follow, I want to get this right and make it work for…

Hey guys! You all are doing so great! I am looking into starting this diet tomorrow but I haven't read the entire book (I know your not suppose to just the chapters you need, but I haven't read all of them yet either) do i need to read everything before i start? I have read up thru the Slow-Carb diet I and plan on…

Ok well I didn't gain and didn't lose still at 200.2 and happy considering the week I've had... I have 45.2 pounds to go!

Bump. Not looking forward to tomorrow... It's been a rough week...

I usually get an unsweetened iced green tea and put a packet of Splenda in it, its really delicious! ZERO calories :drinker:

Ok 1/1/11 205 1/8/11. 201.9 1/15/11. 200.2 I was so scared I wasn't gonna lose so I am HAPPY!

Ok great job everyone so far! My results: 1/1. 205 1/8. 201.9 Good luck next week let's rock this :)

I used it many years back, I didn't lose any weight while taking it but that may have been because I wasn't making the proper food choices... I was in college then and had no idea what was the healthy thing to eat. I think you should give it a try for a month and if it helps stay on it but if it doesn't pitch it. Its key…
