I am following my LCHF diet today.

You're set then Being perfect is impossible. Beating yourself up and being angry with yourself will just make it tougher, though. If you're able to let go of that stuff even a little bit it can really make a difference. Make good decisions with carbs today and you'll be right back on track. Note the cravings you had after the drink. Now you know that and you'll be aware of it the next time you have a decision to make.

If you feel cravings over the next day or two feel free to pile on the fat, just like you might when you're first making the switch to a low carb diet. Not giving in to those cravings (if they come, they may not) is the biggest thing.

Don't forget that water weight can go up after a bunch of carbs (if you're doing keto it almost certainly will, on other low carb variants I'm not sure), so don't worry if you see that either. It'll drop back off once you're back on track.


If you have other concerns about the scale not moving, I'd recommend setting them aside for the next 2-3 days, just get yourself back to "normal" on LCHF. Once you do that and feel settled back in, go ahead and look at your diet and see if there are changes you can make (and ask us for help too! If you already have in another thread I missed it, apologies for that )

Hang in there, you got this!
