Don't do it! When I did low carb, that was always the kiss of death for me. I would eat that one snack or meal... and then I would rationalize another "I'm already out of ketosis, so I'll start fresh tomorrow..." Which would be come Monday, then the beginning of the month. Is the spike in blood sugar worth it? Is it worth having to go through the Atkin's flu again? However, you know yourself best.

I know it's hard, I was probably feeling the exact same way - 2 months ago.
2 months later I have gained 5 pounds and am trying to get back on the ketosis wagon. It's hard!!!!

Are you craving salty or sweet?
Eat a big giant steak with mushrooms and cream sauce, or lobster with butter.
If it's sweet - Eat 2 pieces of homemade low carb cheesecake with berries.
Something rich and filled with fat and protein usually helps.

i just realized that cheating for one meal a week sets me two steps back every time. for the most part, my cravings are gone but then there are those days... ugh... when i could just eat a whole box of dominoes cheesy bread. however if i can fit it into my carb limit, i always will eat a square of dark chocolate it's a nice treat and reminds me of how good i've done for the day in order to be able to eat it! so i basically "cheat" a few times a week. *quantity is key!!* i only eat a *square* of chocolate.

anyway if it never affected you in the past to have a cheat meal then do it. plus i've read it's good to give yourself a carb and calorie refeed 1-2 times a week to break plateaus and speed up the weight-loss process.

if you're at mikey d's, then get a grilled chicken club sammich and take the bread off. its only 4 carbs!
kfc grilled chicken meal with green beans - 5 carbs
in 'n' out double double protein style - 11 carbs

it's possible to still enjoy life on this diet!

If your family orders pizza - scrape the topping off 2 or 3 pieces and put them on a low carb tortilla. Its not EXACTLY the same but it still tastes like pizza and satifies the cravings.

I also order tacos from the BBQ place down the street and put the insides in my own lc tortillas.

For a sweet treat, try strawberries with whipped heavy cream and a little splenda. I sometimes add a TBS of semi sweet chocolate chips. Its higher in carb so I dont do everyday but it sure feels like I am being REALLY bad and helps my horrible sweet tooth.

Yes, the burgers without the bun too. My cravings for carbs have been gone awhile but I do still get the urge for ice cream. Its a good thing they have no sugar/low carb versions out there!!

I hear that eating more fat helps with the sweet cravings. Give that a try next time.

no. even months later, i will still crave them. they really really are an addiction for me.
if you were addicted to carbs before, mentally you might always crave them.
i plan cheat days. i'd be miserable if i didn't. i look forward to cheating on holidays

at mcdonalds i get 2 mcdoubles, no bun, no cheese, no ketchup add mayo on a bed of shredded lettuce.
i find it is more filling than the grilled chicken.
the mcchicken patty is only 10 grams of carbs if you make room for it for the day.
and 4 nuggets are like 11? i think.

I realized I haven't lost the desire for carbs. I got off work and hubby asked me to bring him home some McDonalds - the only thing open here after hours so I get him his usual 10 piece nugget, fries and a coke. OMG, I wanted some sooooooooo bad but I didn't give in. And now I am feeling like I am in the worse mood. 25 days of low carb, have not cheated once, with the exception of two tortilla chips and that's the only "no no" I've had since I started back.

First things first - the struggle you are having can easily be avoided by telling your husband, he needs to get his own fast food if you are to remain dedicated to the low-carb intake that you chose for yourself. Your husband asking to get this puts you in a very vulnerable position and that is unfair of him to ask you to get that. If it is taking you this long to get over the true addiction (which that is the impression I am getting), then your husband needs to offer support - and that would entail he needs to get his own junk/fast food and not have it around

I pass up pizza, chips, and everything else they bring to work. My hubby still eats normally but he's got a rock hard body and doesn't need to lose weight. he's very supportive and normally won't eat anything like that in front of me but I told him it was fine and it is. This isn't HIS BATTLE, it's mine.

Clearly it isnt fine because the mere having the junk/fast food in your car was enough to drive you into a feasting frenzy. If your husband was truly supportive, he would not have asked you to pick that food up for him. While I do agree, this choice was made by you, and you are correct to say it, however, it could have been his choice to get that food on his own. Your own clip right there definitely confirms, its not alright to have it around you. You should not be struggling.

I am feeling like cheating for one meal just to get the urge out. I used to do that before and it never effected my loss because I allowed myself ONE MEAL every 2 weeks to have whatever I wanted. This time I am trying to go without the cheat meals and it's driving me crazy.

Does anyone else ever feel this way?????

Do yourself a favor and ask yourself:
1.) If I let myself have this one cheat meal, do I have the ability to control myself afterwards and not give-in again?
2.) What are some things I can do to change my behaviors
3.) What are some things your husband can do to offer full onset of support that doesnt involve contributing to his eating habits where it is consuming yours, mentally?
4.) What foods am I eating right now that might be part of the problem of 'wanting' things I know are not good for me?
5.) What is triggering my old behaviors?

There are a lot of keto friendly bread, muffin, pizza crust online you can find (try flax seed recipes). I recently have the craziest craving for bread and ice cream so I found keto version of these things and was able to stay low carb still.

I can't seem to trust those "low carb" products they sell at the super market, especially the ones that have HIGH fiber and super low total carb count!

Limit your artificial sweetener intake too! If you're craving for sweet, protein powder helps a lot for me.
