Today i ate a scone.....gutted. Have been doing so well and no carbs apart from those in veggies etc have been eaten. Start again tomorrow morning. On a better note 1st weigh in this morning and 5 days in 2kg lost!!
 
your doing brilliantly dont let the little slip spoil all your hard work forward and onward! the person that never made a mistake, never made anything

if it were easy to be as awesome as you, everyone would be doing it
 
Don't worry about the scone.
In the grand scheme of things, I bet you carb total for the day was still MUCH less than it would have been before starting LC.



And if there is one dead cert about low carbing, it is that we all fall head first into carbs sooner or later.
The key thing is whether we get back on the wagon.
 
if you start feeling lethargic and cold, add some healthy fats/oils to replace the lost energy from the reduced carbs, drinks lots of water and take more salt
 
i've slipped like a 100 times in the last 20 years..

so don't let it get to you!! great weight loss!!

So so true....it's quite scary how many carbs I used to eat.... I hadn't noticed until I started wstching them!

I think thats what the issue was no energy...heavy week at work, had been weepy all day and just gave in. Back on it today though. Thanks.

http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf it’s a long page and a video

http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/lowcarbliving/a/Food-Cravings.htm For me, the more carbs we eat the more carbs we want. they don’t give up easy.

Evidence is inconclusive for an ideal amount of total fat intake for people with diabetes
therefore, goals should be individualized; fat quality appears to be far more important than quantity.
In people with type 2 diabetes, a Mediterranean-style, MUFA-rich eating pattern may benefit
glycemic control and CVD risk factors and can therefore be recommended as an effective alternative to a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate eating pattern.
 
Don't beat yourself up over a scone
