I am starving!!

[Guest guest]

So I had to modify the intro diet while I was on it, yesterday was Day

1 of being off of it. I know the book says there is no limitation as

to quantity; however over indulgence is bad right?

I cannot seem to get full and I have lost about 3 pounds over this

week. I know this will subside eventually (Elaine said generally 3

weeks) but I can't keep losing weight! I added Avocado yesterday and

seem to be doing o-k. My eggs are made in coconut oil and my yogurt

is made from 1/2 and 1/2. I am trying butternut squash tomorrow.

Any tips on the hunger? I find it frustrating starting over b/c I was

eating SCD before actually beginning it 100%. Since being 100%, my

BM's have changed not for the worst but not for the better either--Any

thoughts? For example, I was eating Peanut Butter, Garlic (Still in

food but only for flavor--same w/ onion), most allowable cheeses,

Spaghetti (SCD Recipe w/ added mushrooms and zucchini in sauce),

Porkrinds, and some raw fruits (pineapple, melon, strawberries,

blackberries) and nuts (mainly in Larabars. But then I would go and

eat some rice cereal or corn w/ rice milk (or some other Gluten Free

Food).

You had a colonoscopy this week and were on a liquid diet. Not

surprising that you lost weight.

Once you add in butternut squash - you can make delicious butternut

squash custard following the recipe for pumpkin pie (without the

shell) in BTVC. I actually eat in both as a side dish and as a

desert. Squash and eggs and honey. Yum. Filling and rich and

fattening.

Also make 100% cream yogurt or half 1/2 & 1/2 and half cream.

It is incredibly yummy. Also cheesecake made with all cream

yogurt.

eat more. eat protein. lots of it. you are losing weight because

you are not eating enough calories to maintain weight.

Start on pecan butter soon and see if you are fine with that. There

is a delicious pecan butter brownie recipe which you can look for in the

yahoo search field on the web page.

And then add in almond butter.

or, if you think you'll be fine with peanut butter, try that one. As

long as

you are okay with it, it is fine to start an *advanced food* early.

Since you didn't have any inflammation in your gut, at least as

far as the visual check of your intestine, it may be that

the prednisone was not masking a reaction. And something

more subtle is going on in your system.

I added in onion and garlic pretty early (like, really early) and was

fine with them. They're hard to live without, IM estimation.

Also make SCD mayonnaise - which, if you season it right (I use

garlic to make it taste like an aioli mayonnaise), is absolutely

delicious - it's great with sunflower oil or safflower oil. And use

that as a dip for veggies or with meat - it is also calorie rich.
