Dove head first off the wagon...

So, my son had a bike accident yesterday and we ended up spending 13 hours in two different hospitals. He had surgery before it was all said and done, and I was beyond a wreck. He's ok now, home and not in any discomfort at all...fighting with his brother like any other Saturday. LOL
But, through it all, I couldn't eat a thing, and when my husband finally forced me to eat something, I ate ALL the carbs. Now, I am right back on track this morning, but I am thinking about doing an egg fast. I'd like some advice/input/help...I've never done one and don't know exactly where to begin. I feel like it's a stupid question, but I am just feeling at a loss right now and I need to get back into ketosis.
Any help is greatly appreciated...♥️

I Breathe I'm Hungry is a great starting place for egg fast info and recipes. I highly recommend checking her stuff out.

Thank you @Dragonwolf! That was a very helpful read and will be useful over the next few days.

In line with the advice of others, don't look at it as 'falling off the wagon'... let's just say that as the horse plodded on gently, you sat on the buckboard and let your heels drag along the track...
There IS no 'falling off the wagon, unless you stop and uit completely. It was a mere interruption.
You're fine.
And best wishes to that typical boy of yours - speedy, full and excellent recovery to all!
Just an off-topic question: Is the past tense of 'To Dive' , 'dove' in the USA...? Being a lowly Brit, I have always used the term 'dived'.... since when has 'dove' been used...?
This is a genuine question, I sincerely am not poking.

I use them interchangeably, though "dived" certainly sounds more pleasing to my ear.2
-
To 'Dive' is not an irregular verb (Like To 'go'... which in the past tense, becomes 'went'....or to 'cut', stays as cut...) which is why I asked.1
-
Both are technically correct. "Dove" has been used for more than a century in America and Canada, whereas "dived" is more traditional. Some of the things my husband spews at me do sink in...oh my god. The horror!3

Glad your son is ok. Life happens and sometimes we overdo it. You're determined to get back on track and that's all you can do.1

I truly love this forum. Trust me, as a middle school teacher, I promise I used it properly! LOL It always surprises me to hear the small differences in language across the pond...
I'm such a grammar nerd, I enjoyed the hell out of reading the last few comments!
I just hope he's careful once he's back to school and is out of my sight. {Enter more mom stress here....}2 -
Oh wow. What a day! I'd give yourself some grace after such a stressful day. I'm so glad he's OK! Hope his recovery is quick.
I did a couple of short egg fasts last year. They were pretty simple (and I think if it's only a day or two that is all you need). Scrambled eggs and coffee with cream for breakfast, an omelet or keto cream cheese pancakes for lunch, maybe a cheese stick if I needed an afternoon snack, and dinner was more often just meat. (So not pure eggs but more of an all-animal type fast.) Both times it seemed to help me break through a plateau.0 -

Technically, "dived" is proper when needed for rhyming purposes. Thus,
"Off to Walmart I drived,
But into no sugar I dived."
But,
"Off the wagon I dove,
When I spotted the fudge on the stove."

Mmm, fudge ...3

I prefer caramel.... but that doesn't rhyme with frudge....1

Fudge AND caramel? Y'all are killing me.
(Fortunately I have Smucker's sugar-free caramel syrup downstairs though, and some good dark chocolate, so this post will not make me dive off the wagon. ) 1 -
Oh and apparently living in the South for the past 11 years has rubbed off on me.
Back to grammar, I lived with a Brit for 4 years and our jobs had an English-teaching component. We had so many comparison conversations. The most interesting was when we realized we used the same word with totally different meanings.1 -
well, there are a lot of those...
pants, vest, trunk, hose, dope.....1 -

This would have thrilled me! I enjoy healthy debate more than almost anything and LOVE grammar! {Yup...I'm a nerd } 2 -

We are both nerds (we were writers and editors of English-teaching magazines) and we definitely enjoyed it. You would have fit right in. 2 -

Oh man, I have a friend who is famous for the cookies she makes. She's got a chocolate bacon one that is double chocolate chip cookies, topped with candied bacon. Well...a byproduct of making candied bacon is bacon caramel, and yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.
Of course, this is the friend that I met after having gone pretty hardcore into low carb, because fate is not without a sense of humor.6 -
