3 Day Carb Binge - Is It Okay?

Re: 3 Day Carb Binge - Is It Okay?

No one said pig out or no one said this would be ongoing. You're right it DOESN'T say that anywhere. I've talked to plenty of people who have had great success on ATKINS (yes they called it that) and allowed themselves occasional cheat days. Look at SugarFreeSheila.com, she's also a user here. She even speaks of "fun" days. NO ONE said they'd be gorging themselves and eating a loaf of bread, 30 smores and 3 gallons of Kool-Aid. All that was in question was what possible consequences could be faced. Period.

Perhasps your definition of pig out and may of ours differ. 3 day carb binge is a pigout to me.
this isn't an occasional cheat day this is a weekend of junk food food 3 days off plan hopefully to go back on plan the return day
this is an inductee not a 3 yr goalie discussing having a "fun" day. if you read sugarfreesheilia's site you will see her recipes for low carb versions of foods, she has 3 cookbooks she has written. She is also a goalie and can use the carb averaging method if she choses for a higher carb day if her metabolism can handle it. different phases have additional rules not afforded to inductees.

We can agree to disagree, but one thing that is totally not tolerable is name calling. I do not appreciate being called a ****. (As somone who didn't agree with the OP or another poster here I assume I am one of the Nazis). Do you know what Nazis are? Do you know what they did? Have you seen, read about, experienced through first hand telling of the horrors these creatures inflicted upon humanity?? I cried for 3 days after a visit to a concentration camp. No one here has made me cry for 3 days, that's for sure. So if you want to disagree, that's fine. Everyone's entitled to an opinion. But don't you dare call anyone names because they don't agree with you.

I'm glad I kept reading through this thread and got to this post by you LIR, because you said much nicer than I would have.

Re: Atkins, low carb

It's true that Atkins is a low carb diet. But it's equally true that not all low carb diets are Atkins. Atkins has specific rules and a specific method. That's just the way Dr. Atkins set things up.

If it's okay to call any low carb diet "Atkins" because Atkins is low carb, then it's okay to characterize all racquet sports as "tennis" because tennis is the more well-known racquet sport. Following that line of reason, it's okay to say Bjorn Borg was a great badminton player, because badminton is a racquet sport like tennis. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Likewise, why don't they follow squash rules or use badminton racquets at Wimbledon? Oh yeah, it's because the Tennis-Nazis at All-England Lawn Tennis Club are so snobby and militant and like doing everything "by the book". Phooey on them.

As I wrote in another thread and as what Luna said, there are alot of newbies and lurkers here and we need to give them accurate information. When ADBB stops giving accurate information about the Atkins Diet, it is no longer doing what it should be doing as an Atkins Diet board.

I agree with LadyinRed.

And to answer the original question - 3 Day Carb Binge - Is It Okay? No its not. I won't give you permission to binge, I won't encourage you to do it and believe me when I tell you its he11 getting back on the wagon after the first cheat. I know. I'm still trying to get back on and stay there.
You can go camping and do Atkins, you've been given some great advice from people who know.
I have one question - you said you've been on Atkins a little over 2 weeks induction - which is awesome, congratulations, but my question is - why didn't you wait to start induction until after your camping trip since ya'll go every year?
Good luck in what ever you decide to do. I hope it works out for you and if you do decide to cheat that you can get back on the wagon.
Have a fun camping trip!

I'm sorry, next time I'll be sure to specify that I'm NOT, in fact, refering to the National Socialist German Workers' Party but rather using the term for emphasis. "Zealot" or "extremist" probably would have been more up your alley. I'll be happy to give you a lesson in Reading Between the Lines 101 some time, if you so desire. But for now, I'm sorry if you took offense to my tasteless use of terminology. But the reason for your literal dispositions regarding the diet is very apparent to me now. Just be sure not to socialize with anyone fond of metaphors or analogies...ever. Or you'll be in for some serious confusion and hurt feelings.

In the mean time, lets all be the better people by posting encouraging emoticons and pictures of male models. Even though the male objectification portrayed in said pictures highly offends me, I'll do my best not to complain.

Re: 3 Day Carb Binge - Is It Okay?

I would agree that Miss Phode has her moments. Miss Staziaw, on the other hand, needs to lighten up something fierce.

It appears to me that Miss Staziaw has lightened up quite a bit!
Good Job Staziaw!
