Typical Day on the SCD
Thought I'd share what a typical day on the Slow Carb Diet looks like :) I recommend sticking to Organic products as much as you can, just because of all the chemicals in non-organic foods - but you don't have to eat organic if you're on a budget. Also note that you can increase the portion size to whatever your body needs - eat as much of the good food (Lean proteins, legumes, vegetables) as you want - that's the beauty of the SCD! Just remember the 4 main rules:
1) No White Carbs- no bread, wheat, rice (even brown), oatmeal, sugar, milk, dairy, potatoes etc...
2) Repeat the Same Meals - Keep it Simple so you don't fall off track!
3) Don't Drink your Carbs - Drink lots of H20. Coffee and Tea are okay as long as you don't add sugar.
A glass or 2 of red wine is okay too.
4) No Fruit
5) Binge 1x Weekly and eat whatever you'd like (this keeps your metabolism from plummeting :)
Breakfast:
1 Hardboiled Egg, 1/2 Avocado, Few slices of Red Onion, Handful of Spinach topped with balsamic vinegar and olive oil
Black Ganoderma Coffee with Cinnamon
Lunch:
2 Chicken Legs
Salad: Spinach, Sweet Peas, Tomato, Red Onion and Cucumber w/Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil
AGG Supplements
Snack:
Handful of Raw Pumpkin Seeds
Dinner:
2 Chicken Legs
1 cup Pinto Beans
Steamed Broccoli
Decaf Green Tea
1 Glass Red Wine (stick to Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot - both low in sugar and okay on SCD)
Bon Appetit!

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteNice blog , Its very neat. I like your summary of the SCD. I've been bodybuilding for almost 2 years now but SCD + thermal loading has made me see my sixpack for the first time in my life and only in 2 weeks.
Keep it up and Good luck.

Thanks for the encouragment Sulaiman!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your eating routine. Are you getting enough protien?
ReplyDeleteI have added in an AM Protein Shake (prior to breakfast)- Hemp Protein Powder & Fiber mixed with iced water and a hint of stevia within 30 min of waking...tracking the results of this addition right now, but has definitely helped with protein intake :)
