Ok, I promised info on how I get a headstart to get back into ketosis after a slip. A day turned into a few, but here we go!
First off, it's not my way to take planned binges. I can't seem to do them correctly. So, when I binge it's because I had a moment of weakness. My moments are usually followed by several more moments give or take a day or so. The best way to get back on track is to eat. Yep, eat alot. Eat to your hearts content. Find your favorite low carb foods and USE them.
Now, eating alot while low carbing doesn't always work for everyone in the weight-loss stage. Many still have to pinch their intake a little bit which is pretty easy since most don't get hungry eating as such. But that first day back in the saddle is not about losing - it's about about breaking the cheat cycle. For those of you who may binge like me (at least 2 meals in a row) it's a difficult task to get going again.
Now, after I've had a day to satisfy myself and start eating the right foods again I reinduct myself. Sometimes for a week - sometimes longer. As tmy appetite comes under control, I'll eat less and less for the first week and then continue that for the second. Then I adjust my caloric and carb intake so I lose at a decent speed.
It's been my method since way-back-when I weighed 385 pounds, and it's not failing me now even though I screw up from time to time.
Later in the day, I'll post my cheesecake recipe! I should have thought of that myself... shame on me. Now where is my recipe pile...
