Re: Curious About Calories

[Guest guest]

Hello Stephania

and welcome!

I wouldn’t worry about calories at

the beginning of the diet. For most

of us, we tend to lose weight because of all the bad fattening foods we are not

allowed to eat anymore. As your

body slowly heals on this diet, then you can start counting your calories. I know some people on this diet try to

make sure that they eat enough calories for their weight. They’ll be able to point you to the

right information. I don’t

bother because I follow what my body tells me. Doesn’t matter if it might not be

enough…I can’t digest more than what I eat. Having said that, I only lost about 10

lbs since the beginning of the diet and I remain stable, as long as I don’t

do too much exercise. If I do, then

I lose more weight and I run out of energy before the day is done.

Good luck!

Curious About

Calories

Hello All,

I am very new to all of this and just trying to understand how people manage

this lifestyle change. I am addicted to calorie counting when I eat and feel

out of control if I don't do so. How many calories should be consumed in a day

on this diet? Are people on SCD even concerned about this?

While I have chosen to change what I eat, I still want to make sure I don't eat

to much of it.
