Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I had the same problem this week with totm and pizza. I just flushed my system the next day and drank extra water. To make matters worse I had probably already taken in over 2000 calories in phase 1 and 2 foods because I just couldn't stop myself. I bounced back okay and haven't had too many problems since... cravings here and there but I am dealing with it and I seem to be down 2 pounds for the week after a stall for 2 weeks so I guess it didn't hurt me toooo badly other than upsetting my stomach and making me feel lousy. Next month I think I am going to be prepared with extra SB compliant foods on hand. I would rather have treats on hand that are sugar free than do that again. Since I don't normally crave sweets through the month, I don't keep the puddings or fudge pops on hand.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well so far I drank 88 ounces of water (going to the bathroom every 5 minutes now) and i exercised for 10 minutes. do you think that would reverse it? yeah no pizza is going to come in this house anymore either. i just can't take it. if i gained a pound i'm going to definitely go and try the first day of phase 1 and that's it. what a stupid mistake. i was doing so well too. > > I had 3 slices of pizza today!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 i hope it doesn't put a stall on my weight but if it does it's my own fault and another day of phase 1 shouldn't hurt. were you stalling in your weight loss because you " cheated " as well or did you still lose weight after that almost right away? i didn't have these problems when i had the south beach bars on hand but i don't want to go back to that at all. that's just awful too. i'm going to go on the straight and narrow. this is the first time i cheated like this in over a month so i guess i should proud that i lasted this long. i'm definitely going to be drinking a lot more water next few days that's for sure. thanks for the support everyone it means a lot to me! > I had the same problem this week with totm and pizza.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 --- , I weighed in w/ no weight loss this week. What will I do: panic? change to a different diet? comfort/stress eat?..nah, I will be a mature individual who realizes that lose, gain, draw, its all about what I stick in my mouth and why I am choosing that food. Is it whats good for my body's health, for my choice of weight loss. I really think that if anyone is 'panicking' they are not in control of their blood sugar levels. I am trying to examine the science behind phase 1/Induction. Its designed to get your bs levels, well, level for a long enough period that your brain no longer nags at you to feed it carbs to balance that seesaw of a insulin/glucose reaction. Once your levels are...well ...level, those 'voices' should be gone. If they are NOT, then does that mean your bs levels are not well, level as they need to be to eliminate cravings??. It is afterall the 'cornerstone' of both Atkins Induction and SB Phase 1. If cravings are still present, then perhaps its due to higher quantity of lower level carbs (too large of portions of allowed carbs?, or hidden sugars?, or sneaking " oh i forgot about that snack " slipped in and threw them off? I would love to see a 'study' done on people who still crave and cave after Phase 1, esp the 'excuse' of 'monthly 'need' to cheat. Whats going on really. Is it in the blood or in the brain? Once a craving hits and is given in to, I believe, the whole insulin/glucose action/reaction starts, and down the slippery slope we go. At least thats how the story went every time I dieted in the past. Now, I operate under the premise that if I were to eat something high carb, or sugary, it better be a sm amount, with fat and protein, and then re examine my 'motives' asking " Do I want more food, if so, why. Am I hungry? bored?, thirsty?, stressed?. I will look at when I last ate, am I due for a meal? If not, I will munch on a slice of ham or turkey and cheese, and wait, still hungry, I will eat a yogurt. Then wait. Still hungry? I doubt it, its meal time, or bed time. Drink water, brush teeth, go to bed, pat my head...good girl. Once blood sugar levels are in check, its about being a grown up. If you want pizza. Make a burger/sausage crust, put the tomato sauce, spices, cheese, pepperoni, olives, what ever you want on it, eat it. DONE, and done well. There isn't any food you might want, that you cannot find something that will takes its place for a craving. But you have to be prepared. Make SF Jello, don't buy danger foods. Don't go out to buffets, nor fav restaurants. We went out for breakfast the other day. I had bacon and eggs, dry wheat toast. I took splenda for my coffee, hubby had a ham/cheese omelet. I only ate 1 sl of the toast, didn't eat the 2nd yolk, and left a bite. Hubby left part of his, as it was big. We had a couple coffees and left the restaurant feeling 'normal'. Very much like smoking, after you quit, you choose to buy/light, inhale. Same w/ ______ fill in the blank snack. Its breakfast time, Steel cut oats, a piece of lean sausage and sf maple syrup. Lunch will be, Taco salad w/ salsa and guacamole, dinner is still in the air. Probably chicken breast w/ a veggie. I need to get a couple servings of dairy in there (cheese, milk, yogurt) and a couple fruits, (apple, apricots, banana, froz blueberries or cherries?) and, I can have a serving of nuts, or some jello. There is alot I can eat, if I choose to. Good Luck and have a positive day. Kay " " wrote: > i hope it doesn't put a stall on my weight .... i guess i should proud that i lasted this long.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hi ... What has worked for me is to find similar foods done healthy that way you will never crave the real deal.. Recently I had someone wanting to purchase a cheesecake for me as thanks for something I did for them.. I told them very nicely that please no food gifts since I am very careful with what I eat.. Obviously this person had no idea I eat my own cheesecake muffins that I make and have no desire for cheesecake because of it.. I also top my muffin with some strawberries and no fat Redi Whip.. I love the Pizza recipe I posted.. to me it is way better than the real deal.. because when you eat the real deal what you are injesting is mostly the bread!!!! The toppings are what tastes best to me... I also sprinkle some red hot peppers on my piece and eat it with a nice tossed salad... Good luck girl..

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 --- If you CHOOSE to have a beer, have Mich Ultra, it tastes good, and is only 3.2 carbs. Nurse one and be done. Then you wont be deprived, will have felt normal having a beer out, and it would not mess w/ your meal plan. Have one, and be done But not now, You need to go back to phase 1, get yourself under control, its only chemistry! Make your weeks meal plans and get that crave critter off your back.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 --- If you CHOOSE to have a beer, have Mich Ultra, it tastes good, and is only 3.2 carbs. Nurse one and be done. Then you wont be deprived, will have felt normal having a beer out, and it would not mess w/ your meal plan. Have one, and be done But not now, You need to go back to phase 1, get yourself under control, its only chemistry! Make your weeks meal plans and get that crave critter off your back.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Okay I must say this is a very good theory.. and I do like most of it... GGG However it only addresses the physical cravings.. What we forget at times is the mental addiction.. For that reason I like to see a much more gradual progression into Phase 2.. Like only adding a fruit or two a day and nothing else.. for at least a month.. I certainly do not think this has to do with the amount of good carbs at all, since I have no cravings and eat a very high carb diet.. Good carbs will not cause cravings.. --- wetbee40 wrote: > --- , > I weighed in w/ no weight loss this week.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 i cheated today too, although my reason was almost literally a matter of life or death.** but i don't think you should punish yourself so much - in my observation of people on diets (all diets), that sort of thing gets you on a tough downer cycle tied to your eating instead of a positive upswing because you're feeling healthier. if you enjoyed the pizza, take the pizza recipe and try it - see if that'll work for the TOTM cravings next time. if not, do a little recipe research and see if you can come up with something that does. don't worry about any weight gain this week - there's the possibility that some of it is your digestion taking time to relearn what this thing is you've eaten, and how to go about processing it. if you're heavier it's not a huge deal. now, if you weigh on friday mornings, ignore all the content of the previous sentence ~risa ** ( i had to do a marathon drive - drove from before 9 pm last night to 9:30 this morning with 1) not enough sleep the night before 2) only 4 bathroom/convenience store/dogwalking breaks and 3) loads of caffeinated thingies. i ended up having to take a 40-minute " if you don't get a tiny amount of sleep you're going to kill yourself and your dog on the road " rest stop. i'd been trying caffeine and sublingual guarana to keep me awake, or singing and leaving the window down, but nothing was working. when my body wants its sleep it REALLY wants it. i've only successfully pulled an all-nighter once in my life. so i realized after the wee nap that i still wouldn't make it as i was going - i needed some energy and i needed it RIGHT then. my body would use sugar more effectively to keep me going than the caffeine would. the bad news is, i'm sure i exceeded 2000 calories with that one carb infusion alone. the good news is, none of it tasted really *good* to me. it all seemed pretty gross and synthetic-tasting. i like the phase 2 desserts i make better than what i had. now that this long hellride is over, i just made and ate a massive ph. 1 omelet to replenish the stuff people lose if they don't sleep enough and soon i'll completely pass out. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** >I had 3 slices of pizza today!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel like crap but all I can do is just move on and hope that i didn't hurt myself too bad. i haven't weighed myself because of totm. i'll weight myself after that and see how it affected me. hopefully by that time all the damage will be undone. > I with you !
