Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi I am new here. I wanted to know what to expect in the initial stages of this diet for this specific reason... When my 5 YO ASD son was younger, we went to a very low carb diet (also GF/CF/SF/CF/sugar-free, etc...). The entire family did the diet, as I presumed it would be easier on everyone. We ate this way for over a year and saw no gains, me and the kids just all felt grouchy and on edge all day long and everybody craved food 24/7 (husband was fine)! I was pregnant during some of the months and I developed ketones and had to add some complex carbs to control the ketones. We also all had heartburn all day long. I was quite suprised that we never stopped feeling this way! By SCD standards, it was not an unhealthy diet (lots of organic veggies and meat). I would like to try SCD to see if there is some magic in the way it is implemented (the stages) or the goat yogurt, etc. Can anyone give some advice about getting started so that we do not suffer needlessly & get to the point where we actually feel good eating this way? Also, is anyone out there on this diet who eats like me (eat, eat, eat but skinny)? That is part of why I don't do so well on low carb. I am so hungry all of the time. I don't crave sweets at all (I actually detest sweets), and I don't like a ton of carbs -- just some to make my stomach stop rumbling. When I eat only protein and vegetables, my stomach actually growls as if it is empty during and after the meal! Any thoughts? - --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun.
