Carni purposely derailed

No, not nausea, in my case. Headaches and constipation are my big symptoms of low sodium.

P.S.—Welcome to the forums!

Well, Robin… Turns out you’re human after all :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing. I had my birthday. I give myself some grace around that time.
In fact, I used to try to cram all the bad crap in a single meal, but that was HORRIBLE.
Like getting hung over for 3 days… Now I have 3 things I like. I actually have them
on 2-3 separate days. Totally not keto, but light years ahead of just 2-3 years ago.

And again, it’s like 3 things: A Croissant with eggs& cheese, Low Carb Cheesecake, And a couple alcoholic drinks in diet soda.

I find splitting them up lets me appreciate them. Have them, and move on.
I am no longer trying to squeeze everything in. Just enjoying a few things that I have once a year. I feel this is healthier for me mentally. I recognize that these are NOT FOOD, per se. These are Scooby Snacks :slight_smile: And I know what they will do to me.

Also, NONE of them are really trigger foods for me. And I try to move a little extra each day, just to burn some glycogen and have room. When it’s over, I feel like I don’t have to tell myself “never”… And that’s a huge win for my psyche.

Sounds like a reasonable approach to me!
