Re: Re: How many carbs in SCD yogurt?

Fitday.com is also good.  Lance Armstrong's site has a good calculator also.

 

Why would you keep carbs down?  I needed to gain weight when I started now I'm a little 'over' the ideal weight.  Amazing...and I'm not worried about it lol.  It depends on what you are on SCD for--to lose weight, celiac, crohn's, etc.

A high carb diet is likely what causes IBD.

and forth that SCD is *not* a low carb diet.

It absolutely isn't -- the objective is not to limit how many carbs, but

what kind of carbs.

However, some of us find we do better on a lowered carb diet.

It's the kind of thing that Kim M and I have chuckled about from time to

time -- if I ate her reduced fat SCD, I'd fall over. If she ate my high

fat SCD, then SHE'D fall over. Yet we are both SCD.

We know that the wrong kinds of carbs can feed the bad bacteria which

will keep us sick. But not everyone needs buckets of carbs to function.

Trust me: I have plenty of energy and don't need more carbs!

I get it.  I just remember in the beginning that I really needed to put on weight and really got into the half n half yogurt, and trying all the nut butter baked goods.  I added honey, cinnamon and dripped yogurt to almost everything I ate and ate way too much dccc.  It's like after not being able to maintain anything then suddenly you can--you're famished. 

 

Of course, the nut butter was put on hold, I use a lot less honey.  Will probably do a lot more reasonable version because I weighed in at 154lb or so last time.  I haven't been 'legal' due to illegals and the iron pills.  I'm feeling it and waiting for the two batches of yogurt to finish.

 

This is going to be long-term or from now on.  I won't give up the cooked carrots, peaches, red bell peppers and the other high carb fruits and veggies.  Just a little less honey and dccc and half n half yogurt on everything I eat.  It's all cyclical it seems like.

Exactly -- if those are foods you tolerate, and do well with, then eat

them.

I almost never do honey these days, but my " sweet treat " is a

couple of pecan-stuffed dates. I do better with dates than honey, even

though I don't have a specific problem with honey.

This is the thing which makes SCD so frustrating... and so powerful.

There is no one version which is cookie cutter for every SCDer. I

remember asking Elaine why she didn't have weekly menus in BTVC, and she

threw up her hands and said it wasn't possible. It wasn't until I began

to see the patterns, that what works for one person may not work for

another, that I understood WHY she said it wasn't possible. But because

SCD can be customized so completely, it's pretty difficult to fail.

Although you may lose your mind getting your customization down

pat.
