It was no stopping. I could easily eat something like over 1/2 kg or closer to 1 kg… No I am not tall… I am quite short.

I’m not on SCD per say, but did a slow process of eliminating foods for the past 10 months, losing 20 lbs. Unfortunately, that’s 20lbs underweight for me (I’m 5’6″ and 107lbs now). I lost most of it in the last few months, partly from the autoimmune paleo diet, and partly from increased food intolerances (including FODMAP/SIBO/salicylate issues). I still can only eat a small number of foods, but I’ve finally stabilized and am starting to feel the positive effects of gut healing and reduced inflammation, despite not tolerating bone broth and still eating quinoa. My blood protein levels are very low, so my doc has suggested I eat more protein. Guess it’s time to start weighing stuff so I know how many calories I’m getting! PS: LOVE your podcast – keep up the great work!

Hi Jennifer,

It really is a big change when you switch over to natural foods isn’t it! Sometimes I still cannot believe I get to eat so much! I’ve come to like being “full” after each meal!

You should defiantly try making your yogurt with whole milk or even half-and-half, trust me you’ll like the different texture!

After the first few weeks, this need leveled off a bit. I’m 5’2″ and weigh 106-108 pounds, so I don’t want to lose any weight. My husband keeps telling me that we’ll start making my SCD yogurt with whole milk instead of 2% so I don’t lose pounds, but I’m just eating more avocados instead. 🙂
