What do you guys count as a cheat? What resets the clock for you? A piece of starchy vegetable that you haven't reached the rung for yet, a square of dark chocolate, or a complete carb blow-out, pizza, crisps, chips etc? I used to go on chocolate, as I wasn't really counting my carbs, just sticking to what I knew and what kept me on track with weight loss. I think I will also throw 'diet coke' into the mix now, as I am somewhat addicted! Day 6 and all good so far

I have decided that I need this. I am not cheating per se, but I have found some legal things and some quasi-legal things that have become "cheats" for me. That means all the stuff that causes portion control difficulty for me. And on top of that, with peri-menopause, I count every day I go over 1800 cals a cheat because I have just been eating too much, too. So even though the cals aren't an issue for some folks, they ARE for me. So I am swearing off berries (for now), pork rinds, peanuts, and whatever else messes me up. I also vow to watch my cheese intake and cals and wine. If after 30 days my loss has picked up, then I know I need to stay on Rung Two pretty much for the duration. I really want to be in one-derland by New Year's Eve this year so the accountability here may be just what I need. So I consider this a new DAY ONE.

I TOTALLY hear you. If I eat one cashew, I will eat 40 and same applies for cheese - wine only makes my blood sugar all wobbly so I'm with you!

Thanks Georgiana! Welcome Chinadoll Congrats Sham! Slidesdownmountains - for me a cheat is too many carbs for my rung, food not in my rung or giant month long carb fests (my speciality) |

Hi Jill!  I think this might be quite fun and useful. So let's say Day 1 for me too. Sham, how are your days and nights going? Glenda, how are things for you? Quote:
- a food in my rung, but added the wrong way (e.g. more than 3x a week, more than I should eat from it) - going over my carb level - overeating - not exercising
