Default Re: My Pain was gone after starting Atkins.../just fell off wagon!

It is imperative that you get this in check right now. You must get back into ketosis. At most, it will take you three days to start feeling right again. It is not worth the extra weight to be able to eat those tortillas!

I understand how those things happen, eating out at a friends or someone brings you something, etc. It happens. Maybe this is a trigger for you and something that has caused you to fail in the past? There is a moderator out there who will smack me for this, BUT do you think next time this happens, you could almost plan to fail. Expect that you will eat something non Atkins friendly, but that you know you are going to go straight home and get back on plan? That way, yes, you had a slip, but it is easy to recover from.

You are worth the extra effort!
