YES! Once you break the crave cycle - you are golden! Maybe try to eat much more protein to get the energy, or try and eat some carbs through fruits and veggies to get energy - sugar is a drug, babe!

Congrats... send willpower my way ok? I've been sick and am up 3 LBS!!! Right after I said something about my spike being lower at least. Been hitting the gym more and this is my reward. :-(. I really have to figure out what's making me so sick. If it's a gluten thing I'm going to cry. Not that I eat a lot but I can't get on the clean wagon for more than a day or 2 as it's been. AWESOME for hitting the 150s!

Honestly I stepped on the scale this morning and expected a gain. I think I reweighed myself about 10 times to make sure I hadn't been seeing things. I wasn't adding my food till the end of the day and was surprised I wasn't in calorie overload. So.. apparently.. if you don't feel guilty then you're not doing it right! Family LOVED the buffalo chicken recipe you gave me. I think it's one of the few recipes I've tried for the first time that hubby didn't put bbq sauce on! I'm definitely adding it to the rotation.

You can do it. Just keep thinking of the scale and how happy you will be to see a smaller number...

I never realized that ice cream has such a distinct smell until I started low carb eating, lol. Hang in there, for me it took about 2 weeks to get into "the zone" and then I hardly missed most of the foods I had cut out. My hubby also loves the foods I get for this WOE so we are always fighting to get to the supplies in the fridge before the other one does. Will you still eat/drink dairy? That's one of the things on my Do Not Eat list, but I have found I can get away with eating small amounts of cheese and I liberally eat real butter with no issue, as long as I stay under my RDI, of course.

Dairy usually doesn't affect me or my cravings. Then again.. everything we drink or eat is high in cream which isn't bad. I did switch my coffee creamer for half and half already, cheese is a must have, cream cheese is a sweet tooth fix if you mix it with some cocoa powder and sweetner, the milk from the farm is full fat so it might as be like drinking a glass of cream that's thinned out a lil.
