#1 everything in moderation, so sometimes you mess up a little, restrict that mess up to one meal or 1 treat and then get right back on the horse. If you pay the price with the scale so be it, then move one. Don't dump the whole thing on a whim.
#2 To quote Star " before you put that in your mouth, think does this taste as good as thin feels???" Probably not.....
#3 I cut myself some slack with the caffiene, I am not a coffee drinker but I can put AWAY some diet pepsi. I reward myself in the morning, no diet pepsi until I get at least 1 liter of water in me.....that makes me drink up the water fast cause I wanna get to that diet pepsi.
I have to admit I have doen perfectly fine with this WOE and I am totally happy with my results thus far. I have never counted anything other than my carb count being below 20, I don't worry about fat vs. protien, I feel like if I obsess over that stuff it is counter productive. I make sure every day that I have 3 meals and 2 snacks, 3 cups of veggies, and plenty of water and that is it, I don't worry about the other stuff. Keep it simple that is my motto, if you keep it simple you are more likely to stick cause it doesn't become this THING, it is easy and enjoyable, Plus you are getting healthy doing it! Another thing I have to remind myself in the midst of all of this Atkins stuff is "slow and steady wins the race!" everyone wants results right away and then they get discouraged when they don't see it right away, this WOE works in mysterious ways, we have all seen it, the person who is working the hardest doesn't loose anything until BOOM it happens, but if you give up or get discouraged and cheat your miss the BOOM!!!! JUst my 2 cents....
