Okay, here's what you do. You make a commitment to yourself to do 5 days of strict Induction, so you can get back into ketosis. During those 5 days, avoid all the carby stuff. If you absolutely have to have bread in the house, buy the kind of bread you don't like. Don't buy cookies, cakes, etc. Ban them from your home for one week. Your family won't die because there are no cookies or chips in the house. Substitute those things with fresh fruit and vegetables (which are better for them anyways!)

There's a line in the food intolerances chapter of DANDR that says, we tend to love the foods that are the worst for our bodies.

Great advice, Megs. You can do it Zoesmom.

Re: stop the insanity

I'm a bread lover, too, and that's the hardest thing for me to give up. Use lettuce in place of your bread for sandwiches. Once induction is over and you get far enough along, they do have low carb bread. I've seen it from 4 to 7 grams of carbs. I ate that before I started induction again and I must say that after that, I can never eat white bread again. Just the smell of it is not appealing to me any longer.
