I have been wondering about this, i see some of yall go on gluten free, dairy free, sugar free diets, or on tv there are these diets to cut out stuff like that, so honesty curiousty.  If you cut those things out, what do you eat?

Fruit has sugar, so you couldnt eat that, and bread has wheat, andcheese is dairy, i cant think of anything left except meat, or veggies.

 

Meat and veggies and nuts are the heart of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) although they also allow some fruit/juice and homemade yogurt. I am on modified version of it because my gut doesn't tolerate fresh fruit/juice.

It is a very healthy diet similar to the Paleo Diet, the Atkins Diet and South Beach Diet with of course certain differences The book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" explains the SCD diet and there is a list of legal/illegal foods. Mainly it takes grains and carbohydrates out as well as most sugar except honey.

I eat eggs in the morning, lunch meat or salads with meat for lunch (no bread) and a nice dinner with meat and veggie (no potatoes or starchy veggies). I eat all day long, never hungry. It does take some thinking and planning so you have the food on hand when you get hungry. I just made carrot bread and cupcakes using almond flour instead of wheat flour. Yummy.

I started off removing gluten first and my symptoms got better. Then dairy. Then started SCD diet. It was a step-by-step process.
You could start off that way and see if you have any improvement. Eliminating grains and carbohydrates is really the crux of the diet.

I don't know about calories cause my diet isn't about them
Almond flour is low-carb and gluten-free and serves to make all the baked goods we'd miss otherwise. I love baked goods and dessert.
Low carb diets do result in weight loss though. I've lost about 6 lbs. in almost 3 months never being hungry and now having way more energy due to less D.

Veggies have sugar too, you need natrual sugar in your system or your glucose levels will get messed up and it can get severe enough to kill you.

I've been Gluten-Free and in remission for almost two years.

Most bread has wheat but now you can get Gluten-Free bread. My local grocery store has a large Gluten-Free section with bread, pasta, cookies & more.

In Madison WI there is a Gluten-Free Bakery that makes GREAT bread, cookies, muffins, scones, pizza dough, pies, pie crusts & more.

The will ship it to you if you don't live in the area.
