It is made with 1/2 c lemon juice, 6 egg yolks, 1/2 butter chilled in cubes, 1/2 honey" I'm taking that you mean 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup honey?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yes, I have to watch it and it frustrates me. I had to watch it before SCD too, except when I was sick. It's good to feel well thankfully, but I can't eat everything as much as I want. I found that I have to limit the nuts and carbs. Fats are ok, but in limited quantities too. It seems unfair to be on a limited diet and have to limit that too, but being on healthy foods helps. The " good " part about gaining weight is that the body is finally absorbing things. Then some have to watch it. And it varies from person to person. My husband is one of those people who can eat anything and not gain an ounce.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I started SCD last July and in the first couple of months lost a few pounds. This put me a little below the middle of my height/build category. Things stayed that way until last month when I couldn't figure out (not having changed the diet except adding a few veggies, no baking yet) why I suddenly gained five pounds! Then I read that taking care of candida can allow one to gain weight that couldn't be gained before, implying this was for skinny people. Well, I wasn't skinny and wanting to gain, because this now put me in the upper part of my weight limits. But, I am just cutting back a bit and have lost a pound or two. Just some fine tuning.
