Default Can't do Atkins anymore help!

I have done the two week induction and I have started Phase 2. I'm ready for a big binge. I really cannot live without carbs, I am thinking of simply trying to keep my cards lower. Will I gain the 8 pounds back that I lost. How can I gracefully start adding carbs without blowing up???

I am also at the same stage of the game as you are and I've discovered adding nuts and berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) to my cooking that it staves off a carb binge. I would avoid bread for a long while even though eventually you will have to incorporate it again. If you discover that the carb you ate is giving you cravings, then go drink 2 glasses of water, eat some protein and find something to do to take your mind off of it. Remember, the craving is your body's reaction to carbs and when the cravings pass, you'll feel better for having toughed it out!

Have you already started Phase 2 eating, or are you just now getting ready to? Your carb cravings should be less now after induction. Are you in ketosis?
