I've done the low carb thing before, and lost around 40 lbs. with it. Since then, I had a baby and I'm so far beyond my ideal weight it's not funny. I've started to do the low carb thing again, but I'm wondering about slipping up. After induction, if you were to slip up how bad does it hurt your diet?

I had a friend who did this and she had beers every weekend, and another who ate pizza every Friday night. They still lost the weight, but I'm wondering how much it really effects the diet.

It's important to remember this isn't a 'temporary fix', it's a permanent way to eat smile So it's not a matter of slipping up. It's a matter of living each day. If you were a runner, and you went to a friend's wedding one day instead of running, you wouldn't consider it a slip up. You'd consider it what you chose to do that day.

The same is true for how you eat. If on a given day you eat 20g, you'll lose X pounds. If the next day you eat 40g, you'll lose X/2 pounds. It's not exactly that simple, but you get the idea smile You make the choice, each day, of how to treat yourself. If you want to make continual progress, then you need to eat well each day. If you don't care as much how quickly you lose, then you pay less attention to eating well.

That being said, I have a TON of advice on my site about low carb beer, they can be VERY tasty. I'm not sure why you'd drink regular beer if you were aiming to lose weight. That being said, if you're out dancing at a club all night, I bet you could drink 2 or 3 beers and still lose weight that night. So if beer "gets you going" out on the dance floor, I'm all for it.
