Well, live and learn! Remember this next time you want to cheat, that it wasn't worth it. This probably kicked you out of Ketosis, so be ready for 3 days of carb hangover and cravings. Don't give in!! I cheated on the 4th of July, and it took me 3 days to get back in Ketosis. Don't give up! We all learn from our mistakes. Drink lots and lots and lots of water. You can do it, you are worth it. How tall are you? How much weight do you have to lose? Are you doing Induction by the book (except the soda)? Good luck to you.

Was it a full sugar DP or diet? If it had sugar, be prepared for cravings to come back. Since you cannot undo what is done, just go right back to strict induction and carry on. Drink some extra water and do a little more exercise to work the cheat out of your system. Don't dwell on it, but decide in your mind how you will resist the next time the carb monsters try to lead you astray. This won't be the last time you are tempted. Sunny!

The test strips have turned pink and they are still there (pink). I never registered above "small amount" with the strips. |

Drinking more water is not a problem, in fact I'm craving it more now than I did. Unfortunately though, yes it was full sugar ! |

You may want to continue with induction longer, especially if your strips aren't showing much progress tomorrow. Good luck! |

Hang in there!! It only takes 3 days. I cheated, and I came back strong. I have lost 3 pounds since my cheat, live and learn. It could have been much worse, it could have turned into a total carb blowout! LOL 2 years ago, all it took was one dinner at Olive Garden (and dessert) to kick me off the plan. Stuffed Manicotti and 7 layer Choc cake. Sigh. If I had just gotten right back, I would be at my goal weight right now. Like I said, live and learn. Keep us updated, please.

The ketosis strip is pink again and I'm not cheating anymore. In fact I had an omelette with a little less than a cup of collard greens mixed inside and 1/2 oz of cheddar cheese. It doesn't sound all that great but it was ok. Anyways, so no more than two cups of salad veggies today and I should be fine. I'm drinking so much water that I feel like my eyeballs are floating lol. |

Ummm I kinda cheated during induction 
I don't think I'll be doing it again. For one I felt terribly guilty, second, I know I just pushed my induction period to a longer phase and third it wasn't good enough to justify 1 & 2.
