girls doin the low carb diet i need ur advice!!

I think u def need a cheat day. Pick one day of the week where u have more than u normally would.
Your degree of strictness should be based on how fast u want to lose the pounds.

if u slip your body can get out of ketosis and take a few days to get back into it..so u might gain a couple of lbs..i slipped my bday weekend and gained 6 lbs and than it took me a week to get back into ketosis and to lose anything..i would be strict if you are serious about it.. low carb is so hard.. its the quickest way to drop the weight but the easiest to gain..good luck

I agree. That's why I asked if she was lowering her carbs or is on a strict diet. Low carb diets can actually really backfire on you if you aren't strict

I did atkins for a very long time and honestly they key is to no cheat. This diet is really made to follow the phases and slowly incorporate carbs into your diet. The first 2 weeks basically egss, meat and cheese then following the phases. I recommend buying some books if your dont already have them. They really help you understand good carbs vs not good cards and the diet in general. Please feel free to FM me with any questions. I have tons of recipes also.

I slipped in a bad way today .

In terms of brocollii you are more likely at the point where you can have them. Maybe you're having the pizza craving because u need more carbs from veggies at this point. The wraps or low carb pita's are good options. One day FH made low carb pizza w/ the pita's, pesto, mozarella and sausage.

I did atkins for 6 weeks and lost 20 lbs then Thanksgiving came around and it went downhill...it's really hard trying to get back on the bandwagon. I was going to do south beach but I tried atkins again instead. I think i might have to try south beack because at some point you can eat at least yams there.
