[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2081630, member: 41816"] I have a few coping mechanisms that seem to ease my body back down from carbs. Have used them a few times, because I am human, and stray from the straight and narrow on occasion. Don't we all! For me, trying to go cold turkey back down to very low carb is always a disaster. The carb cravings are absurd. So I step down over 2-3 days. This helps tremendously. Half carbs on day 1. Quarter carbs on day 2. Down to VLC on day 3. And I never say never, I just say not [B][I]now[/I][/B]. lol. When I am stepping down from carbs to LCHF, I make sure that I up the fat immediately. That way the fat helps to squelch the cravings, and make me feel full and satisfied. Also, planning really fab LC food for the transition helps a lot. That way you are looking forward to the yummy crackling, dark choc, strawbs and cream icecream, cordon bleu chicken and stilton cream sauce on steak, rather than feeling sorry for yourself because you are waving bye bye to that dull slice of toast. Generous portion sizes too. Carb cravings cannot complete with LC decadence, and full tum AND a feeling that scrambled egg and smoked salmon with a cream cheese topper is just around the corner... ;) [/QUOTE]
