Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2006going off
Ok lets go with this senerio, you made it to goal, maintained your weight, and now one only one day lets say you have for one meal pasta (mullers that kinda) and ragu about a big plate full for dinner. What happens the next day??? Do you feel shitty after only on cheat meal, now we are only taking dinner?? Do you gain weight, lets say 200 cal breakfast, 300 cal lunch and add the plate of pasta, sauce so that would still be about 600 cal (a am guessing) ? So calorie wise not out of control but lot of carbs in big plate of pasta? You see I have never cheated so all you people who hit goal, had one meal now I am not taking an all day food carb fest. What usually happened to you? Really curious. By the way I have never felt so great on this way of eating been doing it since october and here are all my benefits: 1. NO AND I MEAN NO HEARTBURN, USE TO HAVE IT ALL THE TIME 2. NO GAS 3. NO SNORNING 4. GREAT SKIN 5. OF COURSE LOSE ALL WEIGHT 6. ENERGY OUT THE a.s!!!!!! I am so thrilled !!!!!!!!! also I have become a more nicer and compassionate person on low carb, not so angry. Never depressed like before. But that may be due to looking better so I cant equate that with low carb. > Ok lets go with this senerio, you made it to goal, maintained your > weight, and now one only one day lets say you have for one meal pasta [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > before.

The small changes would be to take some combination of a little extra exercise and/or fewer carbs/calories for a couple of days. Then go on as normal, but kind of determined not to have this happen again a lot. With one cheating big meal, as can happen at a social occasion, you aren't going to balloon up 50 pounds overnight and have everybody laugh at your new blimpness and curse you for having eaten a little too much once. Take it easy.  Signature1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED... Atkins repeated 9 times in the book 2) Exercise: It's Non-Negotiable.....

I MUST CONFESS, I did it last night when coming home from work. Was feeling a little tired and craving a cheeseburger with fries, lucky there was a good restaurant on the way home and I grabbed a steak dinner, but ate the big baked potato and Garlic bread that came with it. Did and hour walk today and back on track! :-) SignatureLC again since 1/14/06 277/255/220 > Ok lets go with this senerio, you made it to goal, maintained your > weight, and now one only one day lets say you have for one meal pasta [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > before.

I think it has to do with mood swings caused by serum glucose spikes...... SignaturePeace, Om. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson > 1.

Upon reading that last one I had a sudden image of you sort of tumbling lightly down the road, being propelled by all the energy exiting your a.s :-) Seriously, though, I'm very happy for your success. I know how miraculous it seems when so many problems are fixed just by eating well! > I am so thrilled !!!!!!!!! also I have become a more nicer and > compassionate person on low carb, not so angry. Never depressed like > before. But that may be due to looking better so I cant equate that > with low carb. Looking better certainly boosts the spirits, but don't discount other factors. One thing that I noticed after losing a lot of weight was that I had been carrying around so much weight that it was a real BURDEN on me. I didn't just weigh a lot -- I was WEIGHED DOWN and much effort it took. Now I see heavier people lumbering along and I remember how I felt at the same weight. It's WORK hauling that around all the time, so it can certainly affect your mood, even if you don't realize it at the time. Also, so many things improved in my health and the way I felt that I had new hope that things really COULD get better. Looking in the mirror and seeing a smaller body is an added bonus :-) All things considered, it's a winning combination!

How did you feel? What was the scale #?? Actually, no. Wait, a couple of times I DID have a slice of pizza. I don't recall any bad effects from it, but it was only one slice each time. I also had some Chinese food early on that turned out to have some sugar in it (not much, but after going WITHOUT sugar for a few months, it was QUITE noticeable to me -- I was shocked because I had been eating the same dish off and on for years and it had never even occurred to me that it might have sugar in it. Again, though, no bad effects from it. I'm just really committed to low-carbing, so I guess I'm not the right person to give answers on the after-effects part. Because my main focus is to feel better, the fear of feeling like crap plays a key part in my staying on track.

But have you ever went off > low carb for one meal? Are you a everything-in-moderation person, or are you a crash-and-burn person? You you like moderation, then a meal now and then off isn't going to be a problem. If you're crash, then a meal off could lead to a year off. Very much your call on that. Have you followed the carb ladder and exactly learned your body's reactions to all of the foods involved? That is part of the process after all. If you have then you already know if wheat is a trigger food for you. It is for me so the meal you describe would tempt me to binge and call for a detox afterwards, not worth the effort. If you have not tried any wheat since starting, I suggest a floury gravy first time. It will give you a smaller initial dosage. > How did you feel? Bad. You pointed out snoring - wheat turns my snoring back on loud. Plus most of the rest of your list. > What was the scale #? You need to understand that part is irrelevant. One meal can NOT trigger fat storage that way. One meal CAN trigger water retention, and water reacts to gravity so it shows on the scale. Since water isn't fat and it's fat that we all wanted to lose, that type of scale bounce isn't an issue. If you're going to freak out at water bounce, know that in advance and stay off the sale until you're back stabilized. > You need to understand that part is irrelevant. One meal > can NOT trigger fat storage that way. One meal CAN [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > that in advance and stay off the sale until you're back > stabilized. Usually after my Chinese buffet meal I can count on "gaining" 5-6#. Within 48 hours, if I drink a lot and eat mostly fats and veggies, it's gone and I'm back to where I was before the meal. I suppose some might be shocked to the point of quitting by such a "gain"... I've often wondered how much our minds and personality have to do with the whole health/weight loss continuum - as much as our bodies, I sometimes think!

Only if they consider it a gain, the smart people know it's only a shift in water weight and nothing to do with their waist line! It's just like the stock market, those in for the long haul are not effected by short term losses. > Ok lets go with this senerio, you made it to goal, maintained your > weight, and now one only one day lets say you have for one meal > pasta (mullers that kinda) and ragu about a big plate full for > dinner. What happens the next day??? Do you feel shitty after only > on cheat meal, now we are only taking dinner?? A single cheat meal doesn't bother me, except of course to break me out of ketosis and stall weight loss. If it's a really heavy, high-glycemic meal, like a Thanksgiving dinner with a big pile of mashed potatoes followed by a couple pieces of pie, I might get some mental fog, but that's it. It takes me 2-3 days of cheating for the other symptoms of carb poisoning to start popping up: headaches, heartburn, depression, lack of energy and ambition, etc. > Do you gain weight, lets say 200 cal breakfast, 300 cal lunch and > add the plate of pasta, sauce so that would still be about 600 cal > (a am guessing) ? I don't think you'll ever gain a significant amount of weight from a single meal. If you do, I'd expect it to be water from storing the extra glucose you're not used to. But any time you cause a large production of insulin, you're going to postpone weight loss for a while, and that's not good. > By the way I have never felt so great on this way of eating been > doing it since october and here are all my benefits: > 1.

Clearer mind > I am so thrilled !!!!!!!!! also I have become a more nicer and > compassionate person on low carb, not so angry. Never depressed > like before.

I can tell how well I've been sticking to my plan by how clear my mind is, how well my short-term memory works, and so on. SignatureAaron -- aaron_baugher@yahoo.com -- 285/245/200 http://360.yahoo.com/aaron_baugher thank you aaron!! >... other symptoms of carb poisoning ... Love that!

I'll have to start using that term in addition to > "low-fat fad". Feel free. I realize it's a bit of hyperbole, but not entirely. If I could sprinkle a powder in your food that would make you tired and confused, give you headaches and heartburn, and eventually cause disease, you'd say I was poisoning you, right? Carbs don't affect everyone that way, but they do me, so the shoe fits.

If GERD (or nasty, recurrent heartburn) is a problemn when you eat carbs it'll come screaming back. Ditto for the gas. If you binge on carbs, then eating something like pasta may set you off - only you know how susceptible you are to that.

Never depressed like [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > something like pasta may set you off - only you know how susceptible > you are to that. Before I started low-carbing, I used to have chocolate chip cookies about 4-5 times a week (3-4 at a time baked fresh each time from frozen dough). I eventually figured out that those cookies were a BIG trigger of reflux in my case. I was CRUSHED! CCCs were my favorite "food" in the WORLD! Now that I think about it, knowing that I couldn't (or at least SHOULDN'T) eat the cookies without possibly choking to death in my sleep (it was getting THAT bad) was so disheartening that it was ALSO a key deciding factor in my deciding to bite the bullet and start low-carb (which I had already been pondering for several months). I think I went throught he five stages of grief over it: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance -- only then could I move on to a life of low- carb :-) SignatureSaffire 205/133/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 *** This post originated in alt.support.diet.low-carb -- its appearance in any other forum is deceptive and unauthorized. *** thanks I guess I wont go there!! I really enjoy reading about you saffire, I have seen your pictures and if a picture does not speak a thousand words!! Thanks Carmen, bad heartburn, used to eat 18 tums to 24 to rid it!! NO MORE!!! |
