Re: Re: The highest hurdle yet!!! Low-protein SCD

[Guest guest]

Hi :

We are in the same boat with our two. They do better on lower protein SCD.

How about a smaller portion of protein (our guys eat meats) and lots of their

favourite " starch substitute " dishes like popcorn cauliflower, buttered &

honeyed spaghetti squash with tomato sauce, broccoli boiled in salted water,

deep fried carrot curls or butternut squash chips etc. Because they do not get

rice etc. I find that they need high volumes of veggies to make up for this.

So we batch large amounts of each veggie, and give two or three different ones

at each meal to fill them up. Fruits & candies can help increase the carb

content, as well as smoothies.

We are on Dr. Amy's protocol too.

All the best,

mum to Mimi and iel ASD,

pure SCD 1 yr and 1 month respectively

Graham eats an avocado a day to help with fat intake. We use

avocado instead of meat at one meal a day for him. I use coconut

flour for baking instead of nut flours, and make a squash casserole

with TONS of ghee in it to also increase fat. A typical day for

Graham is as follows:

Breakfast: banana, squash casserole, and apple cide

Lunch: Applegate hot dog, green beans, carrots, and a fruit

Dinner: avocado, applesauce, fried eggplant with sauce

Pretty boring, but it is low protein!
