A good 24 hour Fast will definitely go VERY far for throwing you right back into Ketosis.
We all fall off the wagon lil lady. All that matters is getting back on. Nobody wants to lay in the mud right?

Just buckle down to it and ditch those carbs.

Feels! I did a planned cheat day the day before starting the 10% challenge and went up 5 lbs from it overnight. I had half a pizza, breadsticks with nacho cheese sauce, and 2 slices of chocolate cake and it took over a week to get back to where I was the day before the noms. It's okay though because I know needed to cave a little to prevent a full on disaster in the upcoming 12 weeks. It just sucks how much of a damn sensitive asshole my body is when it comes to carbs. Stupid delicious carbs!

Thanks Knuckles, I read your post earlier about having an accidental fasting day, your post was my inspiration!

That's why I am so strict on myself. If I allow myself even a moments weakness I know I may never come back from it.

Christinemeowk do you drink the shakes and bars with your Atkins plan?

Knuckles it looks like you do LCHF, with 1 fasting day a week? You dropped a lot of weight, which is inspirational!

NOOOOOOO I surely don't. I try to stick to real food, but I have been doing an almond milk/benefiber mix for lunch this week to keep things moving. It's still kinda bad though because the mister got the regular instead of unsweetened almond milk. I'm still losing and staying in ketosis though so I'm gonna use it til it's gone.

Sister, I fast 7 days a week. 16 hour fasts per day, and 2 24's per week. I don't expect anyone to do like me though. I just eat enough fat that I am literally never hungry. I eat because I KNOW I have to eat. I am just never hungry on LCHF. That's why I can do the 24's without even realizing its been a whole day. Heck I did it today and didn't even WANT to. I just woke up too late to eat breakfast. Lol. But, now I don't need to do my 24 tomorrow. And I was a PORKER. So If I can do it. ANYONE can. lol.

Good luck there, Smarty! I hope it works well for you! I went to Costco, and probably gained just trying out all their demo handouts. I went way, way overboard too. I got tons of all kinds of flavored water, and easy fix stuff, like fish and spreads stuff, that I tasted. They are good at luring you in to buy that crap they demo. Don't go there when you are hungry, that's what I just learned.

I love my grocery store... I order online, go to a drive through, they load my truck and I go home. so I don't have to worry about kids going nuts. do you have a store like that maybe??

That's really smart hunter! Not only do you not have to worry about the kids...but most of the stuff I/we should NOT have in this house are the impulse purchases that weren't on the list to begin with.

Wench. Were you WATCHING me check out with a couple of the new Dreyers Slow Churned flavors last nite? On the upside, I restocked up on grapefruit which I've re-discovered thanks to you!

I'm weird...I really don't like high fat food - even ice cream. I've always preferred "lighter" versions (in the dark ages, it was actually called Ice Milk!) The Dryers/Edys Slow Churned IS still ice cream...but it's a bit lower in calories and doesn't leave me with that mouth full of crisco feeling. I feel like a drug pusher here!

Smarty - I TOTALLY apologize for doing this to you on a day you're fasting. Tune me out ;-)
