1. I do not count calories at all, and Tim Ferris does not advocate counting calories. However, he does advocate eating lean, and if possible, organic meats. So if you want to follow his advice on that, look for the leanest and if possible organic beef jerky. Oh wait! I have to edit this! Tim Ferriss' Slow Carb Diet does not allow beef jerky. But since I eat any meats I want, I would allow beef jerky on my modified version.
2. The longer lists of foods you found were created by people who have made modifications to Tim Ferriss' Slow Carb Diet. His diet doesn't allow ANY potatoes, including sweet potatoes or yams. The people who have added them did so because they seem to be able to eat them without a problem. For others, potatoes of any kind cause a rush of insulin and are a trigger for cravings. You could give it a try! I personally do not allow any potatoes. I know they are a trigger for me. Carrots are allowed but in moderation because they have a higher natural sugar content than other veggies.
3. Beans are allowed. Cheese is not allowed on Tim Ferriss' Slow Carb Diet. Rennie and I have created modifications to allow for a little sprinkle of shredded cheese occasionally. If you feel strongly about wanting to allow cheese, then give it try. If it triggers you to want to eat more (of any foods), then you should avoid it. If it doesn't, then keep it.
About fat-free or low-fat items, I avoid them. Full fat is not our enemy and full fat is not what makes us fat (despite what the low-fat industry promoted for years). Carbs are our enemy (so to speak), and when companies take the fat out of those products, they add in sugar and carbs. Sugar and carbs are the very things we need to avoid.
Sugar-free jello is allowed! I always forget about that, lol!
Your pork/turkey and green chili recipes sound amazing!! (And yes, leave out the flour, lol!)
Dt, hey, less than 2 lbs! That's not bad for a cheat day at all! Stay on plan and that water weight from the extra carbs will be gone before you know it!
Rennie, I wouldn't be surprised if you could come off meds! One of my brothers is a type 2 diabetic and his A1C is always amazing and he doesn't have to take meds. He controls it through healthy eating!
I just found a great website for asking what foods are allowed on Tim Ferriss' Four-Hour Body Slow Carb Diet: http://www.eslowcarbdiet.com/. Just type the food in the blank at the top where it says, "Can I have _____ on the slow carb diet?" Hit enter, give it a second, and underneath that question to the right, it will give you your answer! I hope it doesn't allow only a certain number of searches, because I see they are trying to sell a beginner's guide and food list book. (That's how I found out beef jerky wasn't allowed on the book diet, lol!)
@jacquid you responded to my introduction post yesterday telling me I may be carb-sensitive. Well, I read your advice and starting following the slow-carb diet today, and let me tell you...after all day, I feel 100% better. I experienced no cravings, no binges, and my mood was fantastic all day. WOW...can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring. Thanks so much for the info you provided me!!!!! It may just be my lifesaver; I sure don't want to get type 2 diabetes.
Hi Halee! Oh, I am so glad I was able to help! Please feel free to join us on this thread, where you can post your progress. You said you were chatty, lol, and so are we! And I know how you feel about finding a diet that may finally work for you. It does feel like a lifesaver! Rennie on here is already fighting type 2 diabetes, but with this diet, she may be able to get it back under control, and although I do not have diabetes, I have no doubt I was headed in that direction. So I am very thankful to have discovered the information I told you about in your intro thread and I'm thrilled to have found the Slow Carb Diet. I hope this diet continues to be easy for you, just as it has been for me! Glad to see you here!
Pamela, yay! I'm glad you have it! And do you mean does 3FC have a Facebook page? Or are you asking if our little Slow Carb thread group here has a FB page? I don't know if 3FC does. Our group definitely doesn't. I haven't been on FB in so long, I'm not sure I remember my password, lol!
Good morning everyone... Question.. what about sweetners? I use SweetNLow.. is this ok? I drink maybe 1-2 regular tea drinks a day, hardly any diet soda and if I do, it's only half of one or if we eat out, almost all of that..
Today's Meals: Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, a teapot of green tea, Mio water Lunch: tuna salad, cottage cheese, Mio water Snack: a handful of mixed nuts, Diet Dr. Pepper Dinner: rotisserie chicken, broccoli-cauliflower salad, a teapot of green tea, Mio water
Gary, you are on fire! Great job!
Pamela, although the website I linked above says no to artificial sweeteners, Tim Ferriss allows sugar-free jello, which is sweetened with an artificial sweetener, and he allows 16 oz of diet soda a day, which is also sweetened with artificial sweetener, so to say it's not allowed makes no sense. It's definitely a part of my diet. I drink green tea everyday sweetened with Splenda.

It is all about calories in calories out, tailor it to what satisfies your hunger need's so you dont over eat.
Sugars, "white's" are full of calories and not much else, "Hollow calories", do what you need to have long term success on a diet, only you know what that is, everyone in here has tailored it to meet there needs.
the closer you can stick to eating lean meats veggies, good nuts, oil's the less spike's you will have in hungar and be able to be full on less and lose weight. calories in calories out
The book has basic two quick read chapters on his diet plan, you can also read tim ferris blog on the diet also.
all diets have a common theme eat healthy, eat your veggies.
I remember a story awhile back i saw on CNN a guy lost weight by only eating twinkee's. restrict calories lose weight, eat to many gain weight
I had a hard time recovering from cheat day so it turned into back to back cheat days. And well um, I am back on plan today. And today I am 392.2 . I will post the full details later when I am not as busy at work. Thanks all
Pamela I like s/f jello also, I keep forgetting to buy it Your chili recipes sound really good. I love spicy but my youngest daughter and my husband like chili too and they can't take the heat. Only my oldest son and he hates beans go figure I use Spenda (Great Value brand) in my green tea and I have cut out the soda totally for now. But when I did it was a Pepsi Max or a Coke Zero.
Jacqui that would an honest joy to me, to not take any medication whew I'd shout Nice weigh in Jacqui you'll be back in the 160's tomorrow. I'm still hoping to catch you
halee, and to the thread. I hope you continue to check back with us. We'd love to have you join us on this journey And goodness NO do all you can to prevent becoming a type 2
Gary good job on the .8 down Gary that's weird eating twinkies and losing weight, I thought they stayed in your system awhile at least that's what they said in the 70's I use to love them.
dt, I've had back to back cheat days before, glad you're back on plan
New low this morning 172.2 only .2 down from yesterday but still a new low so I will take it
I don't think I like the lentils, maybe I didn't do something right. I cooked them according to package directions and they are DRY. I don't like dry. I thought about adding some chili powder and onion what do you all think? Suggestions please. I don't want to throw them out. I made the entire bag (they didn't cost much but still) I don't want to be wasteful.

And do you mean does 3FC have a Facebook page? Or are you asking if our little Slow Carb thread group here has a FB page? I don't know if 3FC does. Our group definitely doesn't. I haven't been on FB in so long, I'm not sure I remember my password, lol! 
Great job!
