Re: SCD and weight lifting - how to get carbs?

[Guest guest]

It contains yellow pea protein, alfalfa protein, rice protein, and spirulina powder..Rice is a grain, and grains aren't SCD legal, so it doesn't look like your protein powder is a good choice. Sorry! You can eat a lot of protein on SCD though, like meat, eggs, fish, nuts, dairy...

most fruits that you can tolerate, homemade pearsauce & applesauce as well as other squashes too as long as you can tolerate.

Hi,

I recently started lifting weights and running several times per week. I'm trying to build size so my trainer wants me eating lots of protein and carbs.

However, at the same time I'm dealing with my recent diagnosis of Crohn's disease. So I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for ways to get a lot of good carbs while staying SCD-legal. So far the best food I've found are bananas, but I'd have to eat like 10 of them a day to get 250 grams of carbs. Someone recommended butternut squash to me - but I've never prepared squash so I haven't tried it yet.

I'm also curious if the protein supplement that I'm taking is okay. This is the supplement: http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-73603-vibrant-health-pure-green-protein-natural-1576-oz?utm_source=googlebase & utm_medium=fpl & utm_term=VibrantHealthPureGreenProteinNatural1576oz & utm_content=100805 & utm_campaign=googlebase & site=google_base &

It contains yellow pea protein, alfalfa protein, rice protein, and spirulina powder... It's supposed to have the amino acid ratio of the human muscle. It comes as a fine green powder, and after I started taking it my stool started turning green - that's probably not a good sign, right?

Any advice you have is much appreciated!

Thanks!

You might want to check out http://marksdailyapple.com or other Primal websites (just do a Google search). Plenty of people are following this style of diet while working out and getting fit without eating tons of carbs. 

The Primal diet is quite similar to SCD although be careful of recipes that might include chocolate or potatoes which are NOT SCD legal.I would absolutely not recommend that protein powder. It's not SCD-legal. You should be able to get lots of protein on SCD with meat, seafood, fish, eggs, yogurt and cheese. If you want a protein shake, try making one with yogurt, coconut milk, eggs or even leftover meat blended in instead of relying on protein powder.

For carbs: carrots, beets, squash, bananas, honey, & fruit (especially papaya, pineapple, mango, apple, pear).Also, just from my experience it is hard to gain mass when you have active symptoms. Taking a bit of time to heal properly first might make it easier in the long run to maintain muscle.

Not legal. Spirulina is a blue-green algae and not legal. Grains are not

legal.

I'm going to ask the same question I always ask people who want to take

protein powder. Which is why, when there are great things like eggs and

yogurt and cheese and meats, do you need a protein powder?

Butternut squash is EASY to fix. Slice in half lengthwise. Scrape

seeds out. Place, cut side down on a cooking sheet. Bake at 300 for up to

an hour or until tender. Scrape pulp out of shells. Blend with lots of

butter and a touch of white pepper. If you want the mix sweeter and can

tolerate the extra fruit, bake some pears at the same time, and add them

in.

Hey :)I'm eating about 6 bananas a day now, have been for awhile. I bake them for 40 minutes at 325 degress F. Makes them _very_ easy to eat, I could probably easily eat much more but only 6 fit in my baking dish at a time

Best!
