The Specific Carbohydrate Diet
Shands at UFSlide2
What are Carbohydrates?You’ve probably heard a number of confusing
and conflicting statements about carbohydrates.
This is, in part, due to the fact that the term carbohydrate is used for a whole variety of foods that are not very much alike.
Another confusing fact about carbohydrates
is the ones that are usually considered healthy,
may not be healthy for you. Slide3
The carbohydrates we eat are chemicals made up of
of one ring, monosaccharide, two rings, disaccharides,
or more than two rings, polysaccharides.Slide4
The carbohydrates we eat are chemicals made up of of one ring, monosaccharide, two rings, disaccharides, or more than two rings, polysaccharidesSlide5
If a carbohydrate has more than one ring, the rings need to be broken apart before the nutrients from the carbohydrate can enter the body.Slide6
The Simple Carbohydrate Diet includes only the monosaccharide, the carbohydrate that doesn’t have to be broken down before
it can enter the body.
The Simple Carbohydrates are:
Glucose, Fructose, and
GalatoseSlide7
Simple carbohydrates are often considered unhealthy and glucose
is confused with table sugar.
Glucose is the necessary nutrient that
our body needs for energy and table
sugar, which has two rings, is
eliminated on the Specific Carbohydrate
Diet.
Slide8
Starch is a
polysaccaride
, or a nutrient
made up of lots of rings.
However, the some vegetables with
starch are allowed on the
SCD since their rings are arranged
in such a fashion that they are
simpler to break down.Slide9
So you can’t have any grain Or anything with sugar, which leaves out most
processed food -
What can you eat!!!!!!Slide10
You can eat:
Fresh and frozen meats
Fish, fresh or frozen or canned in water or oil
3. Eggs
4. Natural Cheeses
Homemade yogurt
Most fresh or frozen vegetables
Most dried legumes
Most fruits, fresh, raw, cooked, frozen, and dried
Most nuts
Most oils, mustards, and vinegarSlide11
This diet is very healthy, but in order to be clear about which foods are allowed
it is best to get the book by Elaine
Gottschall
,
Breaking the Vicious Cycle.
You can also get a lot of information
and recipes on the web.Slide12
To get started you need to assemble the ingredients and foods you will
be eating.
The most difficult part of the diet for
most people will be preparing food
and taking it with you. You will need
to remember to have your mixed nuts,
fruits, boiled eggs, and other acceptable
foods with you wherever you go.Slide13
Recipes for chicken soup or meatloaf are available in the book and are a good
way to get started.
There are a lot of bean recipes that
can be made ahead and are nutritious
and inexpensive.
