Hey there!

This morning, I talked about "falling off", binge eating/drinking, caving in, or whatever you choose to call it.

Now, to bring everyone up to speed that's not aware, for the last 4 weeks my bride and I have been planning our annual fish fry event. This gathering solicits some of the most awesome side items one could ever wish for, not to mention, fried fish is NOT on my daily/weekly/monthly plan for my WOE...

I'm still very new to the LCHF lifestyle, but I think I'm doing pretty good... However, I knew that this weekend would present me with some amazing things to eat. However, I knew I would have a few choices I could go with regarding my new way of eating...... Eat like I used too, only eat what I brought with me, or pick and choose from the menu at hand and go forward...

I chose the latter of the 3. Prior to the event, I researched a bit here on FS to see just what I could, should, would eat!

I ate well today! I enjoyed every bite! I had KETCHUP, and fried stuff!!!

But you know what, I didn't ToTALLY derail myself! Yes, I had around 4x of carbs that I usually want on a daily basis... I had them in ONE meal, but it isn't gonna kill me, it's not going to break me or make me revert to my old ways! I had a great meal with my family! I had a BLAST talking with folks about HOW I was doing this on the DIET I'm "following"....

Once again, I explained, it isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change.... one day doesn't kill us.... I was asked why I was so accepting of fried things and potato salad today, when last week I refused them at a restaurant....

I broke it down like this....

Me, in June (and prior) of this year...

Lunch:
Chicken fried steak - 32g carbs
Mashed potatoes - 33g carbs
Cornbread muffins, that come with lunch, - 43g carbs
Let's not forget the gravy! - 17g carbs

That's 125g of carbs, +/- a few, each day at lunch! Is it going to really screw me over to exceed 20g once a month? No....

I just need to get back to where I want/need to be for MY way of eating and MY choice of a weight loss plan! That means tomorrow, I'll be back at high fat, lowcarbs, and watching the calories overall....

So, like I said this morning, it's a bump in the road, a blip on the radar..... Chill out, things happen, it helps if you can preplan, but even the unplanned won't derail you.... It's up to the person as to whether or not they shall be derailed...

Diet Calendar Entry for 14 October 2017:
1017 kcal Fat: 54.88g | Prot: 56.25g | Carb: 77.12g.   Lunch: Hush Puppies, Ketchup, Green Olives, Red Onions, Coleslaw, SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp, Broccoli Salad, Fried Battered Fish. more...

I have heard that if you do all that in one meal, it is far less devastating to ketosis than spreading it over the whole day. Sounds like you had fun! I tried to post about my cheat day, but everything froze, and I lost it. I'll try to post again.

I like it! (And I probably would have had a little piece of pecan pie.)
