Re: A few questions from my son

August 9, 2009

With respect to "cheating"...

Once you have started SCD the weakest of the pathogens die off first.

Then the hardier ones are then left and they put up a fight. So if you

cheat later into the diet, then you are actually giving fuel to the

worst of the pathogens. It's really just not worth it.

All I can say is once you are in about stage 3 the foods are absolutely

mouth-watering. There is no sacrificing flavor or variety. The

SCD-legal cookbooks are a visual and gastronomic feast for the soul.

There are substitutes for so many of our old favorite comfort foods.

Yes there is cauliflower mashed potatoes and cauliflower rice and

butternut squash fries and french toast and zucchini linguine aglio

olio. I mean this food is great! It just takes shifting the point of

view from one of loss to one of adventurous gain.

Can you have your son start looking at the recipes with you to create

some interest? The internet is loaded with free recipes. Buy a binder

and start printing the ones that look like you can do them with some

confidence.

Once you get past the limits of the earlier stages I promise this can

get F-U-N!

about Thanksgiving? Can't I just have a few mashed potatoes? Can't I

just cheat once every few months?
