    Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go??? Challenge

    I recently found out that my shredded cheese had potato starch in it, so I've been cheating without knowing I was cheating.

    So I'm on day 5 being cheat-free.
    The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:
    the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.

        Yesterday was 95 and still going strong.
        40 year old male 6' 3"

        What I know:
        1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
        2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
        3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
        4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                  Boo1667-I wouldn't count that as a cheat, a mistake, but not a cheat.

                    The ingrediants list 'potato starch' in them. I was totally floored, I always just assumed that cheese was just cheese, lol. I guess in today's overly processed assembly line world of food, nothing is sacred anymore. I learned my lesson, and I trust nothing now.

                    Thanks Alexa, it did teach me a lesson about reading labels, so it might have saved me from a much bigger problem later on down the road.

                    Bluebelt, thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to count it as a cheat just because it was my fault for not reading my labels. And I'd like to feel 100% confident about the plan I'm on, and the lessons I can learn from my mistakes.

                          Well not too fast, Alexa, I succombed to temptation too night. It is never as good as you think it will be. But I had popcorn, snickers and cashews.

                          But cashews are alound arent they?

                          Well I am getting back on the wagon.
                          Do I have to cut all of my 21 days down?

                                Yep, all 21 days are back to zero. Popcorn and especially the snickers are a cheat. Cashews are allowed on rung 3, nuts and seeds. Just learn your lesson and move forward. Don't give up! You are still doing great! It will probably take you 48 hours to get back into ketosis, but if you drink extra water and exercise, it will get you back on track faster. JUST KEEP GOING!
