i think i ate sugar

[try it again Sam!]

Today I ate lunch with co workers and from my choices i ordered a salad with chicken. the salad contained items that i wasnt entirely sure how it was prepared. I think the pecans were glazed. i only ate one and avoided the pecans after i realized. how bad will this affect me?

Well, your head is likely to explode.

Seriously, nothing is likely to happen. We've all eaten something we didn't expect. The trick is to learn from it, and keep doing Atkins.

Good for you for not eating the rest of the pecans. You did the best you could in that situation, what more can you ask of yourself? I'd bet that tiny amount won't impact your losses/ketosis. Just keep on truckin'

Ok Thanks! I just hate when the unexpected happens when you try sooo hard to stick to it!

The unexpected is always out there! Just don't let it derail you permanently. If you're on OWL 3 and this is the first time you've eaten something you didn't expect, then you're doing great!

glad you stopped at one.

if you find yourself having any cravings just hold tight and know it will be gone soon.

I saw a pecan chicken salad the other day and saw the description saying they were maple glazed so I passed. You'd think in this day and age they would not sugar coat the healthy part of the meal.
