I added the carbs back in slowly. 5 grams of berries besides raspberries. If I added something that gave me a bounce up, I would cut it out and try some other carb I liked, as long as no bouncing, I would add that into my list of foods I could eat. I also upped the fats a tad bit, kept the same proteins. I didn’t log, just stayed aware of what I was adding and what needed to be removed again. I found none of the grains do me any favors and they can actually hurt me, gluten in anything my body just can’t tolerate. I am gluten sensitive, so the more I stay away from grains with gluten the better I do. I cut rice because it just turns into sugar, so no traditional grains at all. I did find I could have a few grams of corn but not daily, it is a special treat. Same with apples and pears only occasionally as a treat and I can’t even eat a whole one, they are way too sweet to my taste buds now. I do ok with whole citrus fruits now as well.
I find concentrating on what I can eat, rather then what I can not eat to work better. I get to eat things that my former low fat high carb diets did not allow.
For holiday treats, select one that really says “this is a fun holiday” have some of that, just not everyday through out the feasting season. For Thanksgiving, I enjoy some sweet potato, baked with lots of butter, I never feel deprived when I eat that. For Christmas/winterfest, it is biscotti, I have now found ketoed ones that I will be using going forwards they are really nice. I never cut out wine, I have just naturally cut down on how often and how much. Two glasses and I am good now. I don’t usually practice portion control but for the higher carb stuff it is good to set a limit on those portions and how often you have them.
And again, if you over do something you have been omitting, the key is get back to it ASAP, the longer you wait, the harder it is to get your groove back. Doing an extened fast of 48 hrs. can do wonders for getting back where you need to be.
Plan ahead have dishes you can eat without concern. Limit the treat dishes and you should be fine.
All the best and happy hollies to you.
