I know this is probably stupid but I will lose as much as I can between now and August. In august I am going to stay with my best friend and we will be eating out mostly, so its going to be impossible to stay on the diet. I have decided to let it go and get straight back on the induction phase when I come back but I wondered if anyone could give am an idea of how much I am likely to gain in this time? Depending how much I lose between then and now, I don't really want to go right back up to my starting weight.

I really try not to go off plan. I find it fairly easy to stay on even when going out to eat. You can always order a salad, or steak, chicken and veggies. im not sure how much you could expect to gain...I guess it just depends on what you eat. Good Luck!

Hi Roobear,

About five or six weeks ago I transitioned off of low (15-20g) carb. I stayed in the same calorie range--1500-1700 ish. I didn't go carb crazy, but I worked some whole grains, higher carb veggies, and fruit (and some excellent beer, he he) back into my diet. I instantly gained about 6 pounds (which I expected), but the bigger issue was that I didn't lose any of it for about two weeks, despite eating only 1400 ish cals and doing pretty intense cardio 5x week. It eventually came off, but I was stuck for a while.

Hope that helps.
