Default Re: 2009 Staying Cheat Free Challenge

I didn't realize until starting this challenge, that I cheat daily. Nothing big, but I can't stay completely clean for more than a day. I feel like calling attention to it, by being accountable here, has actually backfired and I think, well, I've already messed up being cheat-free today...and then look around the kitchen. I wonder if I'll be successful in this WOE if I can't even follow the plan here in my 2nd month! Incidentally, I did a clean 14 day induction, but now I can't seem to just say no to things I know I'm not supposed to have. At least I'm still in ketosis--but I wish I could do better about cheating.

Did you increase your carbs?

Are you still measuring everything not just, for example, pouring heavy cream directly from the carton and eyeballing 1 tbsp?

Did you add any new food to your diet? Check all labels for hidden sugars and other non-Induction ingredients.

Why do you cheat? Are you bored with your food choices? Stressful real life? Boredom?

Do you cheat at home or when away?

Yes, I am eating more carbs now than I did in my first two weeks. I was having a hard time fitting in more than 10 carbs without my keto stix going pale. (I know that it's controversial to use ketostix more than once a day, and I'm really not relying on them as much as before, but I don't have any of the normal symptoms of ketosis like a taste in my mouth or sweet breath, etc. for reinforcement) Then I realized that when I upped my exercise--like 2 half mile walks--or even just parking across the lot from work, that I could eat more carbs! But I'm still under 20--close, but under.

I have also quit measuring some things, like cheese and dressing...but I can use the food scale and measuring spoons again if that is where I'm going wrong. I feel like I have a good grasp on how much 2 oz cheese or 2 Tlbs dressing look like, but maybe it's been creeping up...

I haven't added any new "legal" foods and I'm not too bored--especially now that I'm able with extra exercise to eat a whole cup of cooked veggies a day. What a treat!

I always cheat at home--usually when I'm home alone. It's not like I'm craving off-limits foods as much as I just need to de-stress and certain foods have always helped with that. I guess I should watch to see how my normal-weight friends de-stress and try doing that instead. It's just out of habit I guess--and not a habit that I have been able to easily break yet.

Default Re: 2009 Staying Cheat Free Challenge

Measuring again might be a good idea.

Are you keeping a food journal? That could help you point to what exactly causes you to cheat and then you can either avoid the situation or handle it better. When you are alone, do you cheat because you are bored or just because.... ummm.... I don't know how to write this.... because, no one sees you and thus the cheat doesn't count?

Either way, if I were you I'd try to do something when home alone, something that could keep me away from eating. Maybe go out for a walk? Or do some other exercise? This way not only will you be too busy to eat, but the endorphines will help you to relieve stress and will stabilize your appetite.

Two days down for me. But today was too easy. We had lobsters and melted butter for the 4th of July. MMmmmm. Then I had my chayote fried apples while everyone else dug into an apple pie. Can't complain today.
