I was gone 6 nights /7 days and was on plan 100% 3 of those days. The other 4 I followed the plan all day and then I would have 4-5 glasses of red wine with and after dinner. The food I ate 3 of those four days was 90% on plan....I split a small olive/cheese appetizer (no carbs..just calories and fat) with my hubby.
Unfortunately I did not want my calories to go too far above 1200-1300 a day and since I was taking in 450 in red wine....I cut elsewhere.....I would have a shake for breakfast....a shake for lunch.....no salad...no snacks....then I would have my meat and veggie for dinner (with very thorough cooking instructions)...
I woke up every morning and did a 1 hour power walk and drank 40 ounces of water and then would get a Starbucks green tea and dump my vanilla shake in it.
I felt great the whole time...never left ketosis...was rarely hungry. I didn't expect anything on the scale except maybe up a pound or two because of the low calories I ate and the wine...maybe fluid retention....But was down 1 pound this morning (returned at 3am last night)
I feel so great that I stayed in control and never was tempted by any carb foods...yipeee
Sounds like you handled things pretty well! Way to go! I bet you enjoyed it too. Originally Posted by darbs7
