3 days shy of 10 weeks around 20 carbs per day. All the baking and preparations for the holiday lead to my excuses for an epic fail. I was so hungry last night after cleaning and cooking, and prepping I caved and ate some nachos. First real slip in 2 and half months!! Then today I ate my thanksgiving dinner, I mean I already endulged right? Lol... Small amounts...but of everything. Including egg nog, cheesecake and apple pie. I have pain in my feet and back that had been gone for weeks, return. I feel full and not satisfied. It's icky. I'm disappointed in myself but at the same time it really is an eye opener. Carbs and sugars make me feel bad. I knew I felt better overall but wow. Originally this WOE was for weight loss only, I didn't have any info except the talk I'd heard over the years, but I am finding all the other benifits of this woe. Not feeling like crap being motivator #1. Now to find someone who wants a ton of leftovers...

Sorry you feel bad but love the motivation that brings. I am reverse: eating low sugar to rebalance gut and fight fatigue then found the weight loss a bonus. Feeling great really does motivate

Great lesson and great motivation! Thanks for telling the story.0

Sorry for your experience! I hope it passes quickly! Your story is enough for me to be truly glad that I don't "stray into carb land". The thought of the pain I used to experience is more than enough motivation for me (I wish I could share this level of motivation, but wouldn't wish pain on anyone!)! Thank you for posting! Hugs!0

I committed carbicide as well...and like you had similar body reactions! What an eye opener for me to realize those things were all diet related ! My biggest revelation is I'm a sugar addict....I thought I could control that, but really I'm powerless....even today, feeling like crap, I want to have those chocolate covered yummies!!! I see how easily my good intentions could derail! My plan is eat as close or below 20 g carbs for next couple of days and once I've got the fat tank full, to do a water or very low cal fast day to kickstart my weightloss....
I hope you get back on your LC plan as well ! All is not lost, just another way our body reminds us to listen to it !0 -
I failed too. Had a little bit of everything. But the kicker was I didn't even have cravings for any of it. I just felt obligated because family had taken time to make it and bring it over. And last night my stomach reminded me of what carbs really are.0

I was a bit off track after canadian thanksgiving too. Hop back on the wagon and you'll feel n better faster.0

Today a year ago after having been LCHF for 60 days I went out with the family and ate a boat load of pasta and the next stop was for a banana shake.
I had been reading about the Carb Nite Out book and through I would try it.
The carb nite out is a great idea I think. I was so sick for 3 days and another three days for the six pound weight gain to totally wash out that I decided Low Carb High Fat was my Way Of Eating until I stop eating period. smile:
One low carb coach actually have her clients pig out on carbs after a period of time so they see once and for all how bad their bodies reacts to carbs.0 -
After a real carb slip earlier in the week, aside from needing to sleep in the day, I notice I still have one of those nagging headaches. Carbs do me no good. Wish I could remember that when they start singing that old siren song right in my face!0

Just go back on your normal plan and you'll be feeling better soon. You can speed up the process with some extra exercise to burn up glycogen.
I went off my low carb diet, sort of, for Thanksgiving, although probably not far off. So far, no consequences. I'm on a cheese fast today, because I went a little nuts at the cheese store.0 -

To help me in these situations, I always like this comparison --- if you dropped your cell phone on the ground, you wouldn't then jump on top of it would you?

I failed miserably! It was my first holiday (LCHF). I did really well with supper. BUT, once the sweets touched my tongue, I was a gone-r. Sugar cravings kicked in. The more I surrendered, the stronger they became! Vicious circle. I carried it on over, into "Leftover Friday" & now, I feel sluggish, slow brained, headache, tired & bloated. I cannot be trusted with my body, yet. :-( Yes, in general, icky!! I will remember this, as a lesson learned. Back at it in the morning, gladly.0

@ kirkor. Nice metaphor! Although I suspect that my old Nokia could probably take a beating.0
