Day 1 - 2. Intro Diet

Day 1. The SCD food journal begins!

I'm doing the intro diet, but no dairy this time around. Since I'm not doing yogurt, I'll stick to the second best thing, my probiotic supplements.

What I ate today (the first post in my cyber food journal - how exciting!)
B - scrambled eggs, homemade grape jello
L - chicken
D - chicken soup, boiled eggs

The science behind SCD is explained on the BTVC site and in more detail in the bookThis article provides a quick and clear summary of the premise of SCD.




Day 2: Welch's 100% grape juice in a bottle, though it is made from concentrate (check 'Juice from concentrate' on the SCD legal/illegal list), is legal and recommended on the intro.  In dubious food labeling cases, it is recommended to use discretion or write to the manufacturer. What makes food labeling dubious? If you want to know more, you can visit question 7 on this FDA site (incidental additives, i.e. the ingredients used to make concentrate, are not required to be listed in the final product) and hereMany other countries have stricter food labeling laws.
