Who knew this "diet" would be so easy?!

I have a question for the group: does having a "cheat day" (similar to Weight Watchers' Weekends Off or whatnot) screw you up entirely on this diet? It would be nice to be able to go out for a girls night now and then to an Italian place or a family pizza night now and then. If you pick one day per week, say Fridays, and cheat, does it totally mess up your ketosis? Anyone know? Yeah, I can still order the salad without croutons but since most of my family and most of my friends are "bigger" than me they kinda hate the skinny girl eating like that in public, you know?

It will put you out of ketosis. But once your body is used to it, it'll be easy to get back into ketosis. There's also a product you can buy that blocks most of the carbs in meals like that.. you sprinkle it onto your food before you eat it. I haven't tried it but apparently it really works well. I own some, and I got the okay to take it while nursing but I'm too paranoid lol. It's called Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer . There are also pills you can buy that do the same thing.

 when ever I have a cheat day I have a HARD time the next day going back onto the diet.
