    I found out the hard way!

    Last night we were at a party and I saw some caffeine free diet coke. I usually stay away from it because of the aspartame (I stick with Diet Rite), but that was what was available, so I went ahead. After drinking about 1/3rd of the can, I thought, boy this tastes just like the real thing from what I can remember, and then I looked at the can closer. Yes, it was caffeine free, but it wasn't diet! It was in the same gold color that the caffeine free diet coke was in. Inspite of eating before I got to the party, all of the sudden I started getting hunger pains! Something I have not had in quite some time! I figured it was only 10 carbs, but it was instant sugar and I had already maxed out my carbs for the day (45 net).

    I just suffered through the hunger pains last night and got back on track this morning. So here is a question. If you find that you overdid your carbs one day, do you adjust your carb intake the following day. In other words, if I am hitting 45 net carbs everyday and because of one non-intentional mess up I inadvertently ingest 55 carbs, should I adjust my carb intake the following day to 35 or just keep doing the 45?

    I suppose you could work it that way. But, the truth is, the 'damage' is already done, so it's probably best to go with your current plan as if it had never happened and if you're not bouncing back, go on induction until you feel your ketosis and then get back on whatever rung of OWL you are on.

      Don,

      Well, I'm a little late. But in case you were curious, I would handle it this way:

      I would drink extra water and work out a little longer for a couple of days, but I would keep on with my regular schedule when it comes to the carbs.

      You'll be fine since you fought the hunger pangs when they hit.

        Thanks guys. I went ahead and adjusted my carbs for the yesterday, but in the future I will keep them as is. Hopefully that won't happen often. BTW, I'm not sure if it was the coke or having the wine this week, but my weight loss slowed to less than one pound. I also noticed that my calories crept up a bit. I am going to watch all of it a little closer this week.

          Its amazing how those hunger pangs happen after a slip isnt it! I had a chocolate cheat recently and was really hungry within 15 mins or so. Incredible how the mind tricks us. I didnt give in, fought the hunger pangs but still..... As others have said, drink loads of water and you'll be fine!

            Man, did I learn this lesson yesterday. I found Dove low carb choc mint candies that come in individually wrapped pieces. 24 carbs per serving but that was 5 pieces!!! I thought, "what a deal!" I can have one at under 5 carbs per piece. BIG mistake. They were delicious and I intended to ratio them one a day. (the news about dark choc. being good for you but only a small amount fed this rationale) I had one...then another...then another ...then I was off and running with cravings like crazy. I recommend that you .................

            MOVE AWAY FROM THE LOW CARB DOVE CANDIES!!!!!! Open at your own risk!!!!!!
