another question about stages

[Guest guest]

Hi,

It seems as though I have endless questions regarding the stages.

Since oil is not suggested until stage 3, what are people using for " pan fried? "

thanks,

Hi Cece,

If not ready for oil, people would likely be either poaching on the pan or using

non -stick surfaces. If you think you may be ready for a little oil and or

butter just try snmall amounts first and gradually increase if all goes well.

Also please remember that it is not a timeline but rather a very general guide

for those just starting the diet and unsure of what to move onto next. For

example someone just starting the diet should not have deep fried meat or

vegetables. It is much harder to digest because the deep frying takes water out

of the food* - This is why food on the intro diet is boiled, broiled or poached.

As the gut heals deep fried food may be tolerated much better. Baking

vegetables, meats etc. with or without some oil falls in between these two

categories.

* Same reason why especially at the beginning of the diet all juices should be

diluted - diluted juices are gentler on a damaged gut.

My eternal reminder:

The stages are not mandatory and not official SCD protocol but they are a

carefully designed guideline based on one caring mom's experience (Jody G.

) and are helpful when one's own imagination gets stalled.

Cece,

Pan frying would be using a small amount of oil or the meat's own fat

content to fry it.

Hamburgers don't need oil to be pan fried. Even ground turkey has

enough fat in it to fry hamburgers out of it without needing oil.

The chart was just created to remind people to go slow and

cook/peel/seed everything to start with.

Deep frying is not a terribly healthy way to make anything.

I know that the carrot curls are tasty and make a good treat.

But deep frying is not really the best choice for healthy cooking.
