Hi,

I am wondering if there are any ladies here who have knowledge about the 'Specific Carbohydrate Diet" (SCDiet) plan - either from using it themselves or implementing it for a family member?

Also, do you know of any doctors who are SCDiet familiar here in Dubai?

I would be very appreciative if you could share your feedback/experiences with me.

Thank you :)

It looks very similar to the paleo and primal diets. On those you only get carbs from vegetables and fruits - no grains, rice, tubers. I've been on paleo for over 2 years and love it, will never go back to normal eating. Improved skin, immune system, PMS, menstrual cramps, energy, weight, body composition, mood and sleep. Check out Marks Daily Apple for lots of info on the primal diet, it's not as restrictive as paleo so a little easier Not many doctors support these diets because they have been fed "5 servings of grains a day saturated fat is evil" from the very start of their training. This is based on totally faulty science, but then doctors aren't scientists....
