Just focus on keeping carbs low and eating only when hungry.
It’s most important to realize that when you’re close to goal weight the changes are different. You can lose bodyfat without losing scale weight.
My goal weight was 130. I haven’t been able to achieve that but I did get into the size 4/6 that was my clothing size goal.
Even after I got within 10 pounds of my goal I kept losing fat but somehow gained and have maintained a 2 pound increase while actually being smaller for well over 2 years. I still don’t consider this lack of scale weight loss a stall. I could convince myself if I wanted to I suppose and give license to chowing down on candy which was my all time biggest issue before keto, but I learned a while back not to use the scale as a measure of progress.

I find I can still lose if I stick to dark chocolate, peanut butter cups, or peanut M&M...and don't go crazy on either...one a day is my limit...but there are definitely days when that one is a huge blessing for my sanity...1

Louise Hendon at ketosummit.com just posted a long list with links for keto candies including interesting ones like hibiscus gummies (not all fat bomb style stuff). I get a regular email from ketosummit. ketosummit.com/keto-candy-recipes1

I think fasting mite be difficult if you have all those fresh carbs in yr system. I wld go back to 20 carbs with IMF from dinner to supper for a week or two then maybe alternating days w 24 hr fasts .... good luck1

I would just go back to your normal as soon as possible. Eat less if not hungry. That's all.
Blips like this are going to happen. Taking it in stride, and avoiding an all or nothing mentality, may make it easier to be successful in the long term.
Don't beat yourself up. Just note that it happened, maybe try to figure out why it happened, and then take steps so it is less likely to happen again.6 -

Thank you for all the suggestions. Iv been low carb all along with the frustrating cheat here and there because I give up when I don't see progress ( therefore the lifetime of yoyo diets) This is the first type of diet that iv not given up on! When it comes up my friends are shocked that I'm still eating the same way 6 months later. Does anyone know of a " perfect macro day diet plan" that I could copy??0

Luckily I didn't get into the store until today, so all traces of Halloween candy were gone, and in their place were aisles of Christmas candy and other decorative crap (at full price, of course). Disaster averted.0

No kids so i just did not buy any candy and went to bed early,went to my friend's house the following day and her daughter kept offering me candy. She looked upset when i kept refusing so gave myself a stern lecture and had one peanut butter cup,she was happy and so was i.1
