No, growing up I wasn't really skinny. My usual weight fluctuates between

135 and 140, which is just right for my height (just shy of 5'6 " ) and build.

When I was in a bad flare I lost about 40-50 pounds in about 2-3 weeks from

diarrhea and some vomiting. I looked almost anaeroxic and lost so much

muscle was unable to walk up stairs.

SCD allowed me to put the weight back on slowly and steadily. For many

people they find that with SCD they gain if they need it and lose weight if

they need to

I think from all I've heard that this diet feeds the body, regulates

metabolism and such to its normal healthy state, and puts people who follow

it with moderation/balance at their ideal healthy state, including weight.

Many who needed to lose weight have said that they did without " trying " . I

needed to gain, started out at 124 lbs at 6' tall - not good. I've gained

12 pounds since January and all I hear anymore is how healthy and great I

look, and I feel good, too. I didn't " try " either, the diet just brought my

appetite back and the food is digested well so I feel good eating it... it's

the way the body is supposed to work. HTH!

Big time! When I started the diet I weighed 159. I lost 10 lbs in

the first week. It slowed down after that but by 5 months I was down

to 129 (from a size 12 to size 8). Of course now I'm pregnant so I'm

in maternity clothes now. My husband who looked like the pregnant

one lost a total of 40 lbs and my daughter lost 25. My 3 sons are

all on the skinny side and all initially lost weight but I believe it

was basically water retention. Over time they started to gain but in

muscle, not fat. I have not continued to weigh them but I know they

look good and are growing too fast height-wise that I can't keep up

with buying them clothes.
