Re: 3 Day Carb Binge - Is It Okay?

I can't believe I just read this whole weird thread! All 8 Pages!

I think this is the most wonderful group of truly caring people with a genuine desire to help the other members of this board and this thread (beleive it or not) is a good example! I'm so glad to have found this group! So much of the head butting in this thread has been from making assumptions and taking things personally (and reacting defensively) when the person replying only had the very best intentions.

Awesome idea about the trail mix! We're going to the beach in a few weeks, and I've been racking my brain for some easy snack ideas (esp. for the long trip down there).

You have missed the point. You should have just started atkins after the holiday because being in induction for 2weeks means that your body will be clean from carbs...as soon as you eat those carbs..there wont be any fun for you.
You may as well just eat what you like or increase carbs to a level where you wont be in pain because its clear that you dont care about your weight as much as you think you do.

People arent military. People know this works. Selfsabatoge is corny. I lost 40lbs on atkins..I only gained because I had a child. The BEST reason to self sabotage in my opinion because growing life was more important than restricting my diet but I still didnt go crazy...

What to expect once you go carb crazy...
Stomach Bloating.....Stomach Cramps...Diarehea....

Happy 4th!

Oh man....

Did you not read all the other pages where we pointed out that sarcastic replies such as yours don't make you seem reputable at ALL?
Again, I'll repeat, THIS WOE IS NOT THAT FATALISTIC. And who are you to judge when she should or shouldn't have started induction. The tone of your post is so unbelievably snotty...

Happy 4th? WTH?

Excuse me..and your post to me just fell into the same thing that you accused me of.
As for 'we"...I never was for the party line. I just try to keep it real.Let Me say You dont own this WOE. I lost 40lbs on this WOE missy..so I know it works and I used to post here back in the day so dont assume Im a "newbie"
The guy wants to splurge on his trip. The first thing that came to my mind was why bother start innduction 2 weeks before a trip when you know you're about to go buck wild. I understood where he was coming from...hes going to have fun. Hes about to have a wicked 4th and hes not trying to think about atkins whilst hes having a grand time with his friends.
Did you understand that?
Ok so My thing was why start innductionn..why go through all the mental stress, carb cravings, innduction flu etc for 2 weeks ONLY to indulge for 3 days and then hope to get back on the wagon?? It would have made more sense had he just waited till AFTER his trip. A nice clean innduction..heda done the carb splurge without the pain that you get when you go carb crazy.
THAT was my point.
I have to agree with one of your points....I am snotty.Ive always been a snotty bytch even when growing up in LOndon...so please excuse my bluntness, sarcasm and snottyness.
Its just Me.
Smoochies

Ok, this thread has meandered its way through ****'s, Bathing Suit Spiders, and punctuation, and the OP has probably come to the conclusion that he/she will either die, get eaten by bears, or sail through it with no problem because only they are the arbiters of their destiny. The truth is somewhere in between (at least I hope no one gets eaten bears this 4th!). If you are going to post about carb binges, the strict "Atkins approved" answer will almost always highlight the difficulties you will face. A lot of us know these difficulties first-hand due to our failures. I believe most of the responses come out of that concern for others no matter how they are phrased or punctuation used.

In the end, how your Atkins journey goes is up to you. You can be a strict by the book'er and see much success. I know many people have been. There are however plenty of examples where a more loose approach works as well due to their tolerance of carbohydrates and high CCLM. Personally, I simply know that was not me. With this, I am going to close this thread since it seems to be causing more angst than support. The original poster has not posted since the 16th, so has likely seen the answer they prefer and moved on.

If you have any problems with this action or someone else, I would urge contact your favorite admin or mod, and discuss it in pm with them.
