Re:Curious About Calories

[Guest guest]

Hi Stephania,

I think you may find, as most of us do, that you will not need to count

calories with SCD. However, if this is how you are comfortable, I

see no real reason you couldn't make the changes to SCD AND count the

calories of what you are eating. It's just more work. It

should be obvious by any weight changes if you need to eat more or less

of the SCD foods. Nobody orders us to eat a certain amount, after all,

that is up to us to figure out. I suspect after awhile as you get

used to the diet you will find you don't need the calorie counting any

more.

Good luck! It can seem like a huge change but, promise, you will get used

to it as we all have.

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.
