Minor slip up and a few questions
Hey everyone,
I'm a new user and this is my first post. I started Atkins induction three weeks ago today and have been on it since. I haven't read the book, but I've been going off of research that I've done on the internet (websites, this forum, etc.) and I have a couple of questions.
First of all, I wanted to do induction for three weeks, and I've been pretty strict with it (occasionally I had maybe one or two carbs over 20), but today I slipped up and ate 37 net carbs instead of 25. With a normal diet I'd just keep going tomorrow but now I don't know how to proceed. Will the 37 grams take me out of ketosis, and more importantly, will I gain back all the water weight that I lost the first couple of weeks immediately? (This is what I read somewhere). I'm not sure if I should start over with induction for a couple more weeks or if I should ignore today and go on with OWL.
Another question...what is the deal with sugar alcohols? I've read some conflicting information. I know they don't affect blood sugar but shouldn't they still count since they are digestible?
Sorry this is so long, if anyone has any insights I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Katie
