I mean, REALLY!! You are reading between the lines and sending yourself the wrong message.
IT IS NOT OK to cheat for a week like this and drink a lot of wine! Are you serious?! Why did you even post a question / proposal like this if you are NOT serious about following a LC WOE?!
"The vibe I'm getting here is that this I simply need to be careful and return to Atkins afterwards."
NO. The vibe is that no one here wants to hurt your feelings and be gut wrenching honest with you, BUT I WILL!
I have worked too hard to lose my weight and I've put a lot of effort into creating webpages that can help others learn too, plus a lot of time on this board learning, talking, educating myself, so I can educate others.........and I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU FAIL EITHER!
You said you are only asking OUT OF CURIOSITY. Well, then you won't be too angry with me when I tell you the honest truth here, since your question is hypothetical, right? (Or is it really, since you say you will stay on induction UNTIL your holiday, and then...........quit so you can cheat a whole week and drink a ton of wine??)
So get with the program! By cheating a whole week and KNOWINGLY doing so, not are you only going to lose that weight you lost and gain it all back, but you are also going to lose whatever little amount of discipline you've acquired these past 4 weeks, AND you will lose the pride you felt, the advanced self esteem you felt for yourself at doing this for a month, you will lose your willpower, your drive, ambition to continue, all health benefits you've created for your body, and you will lose the desire to get back on the WOE so simply and easily as you seem to think you can! It's NOT that damn easy!
Now I don't even think I want to read pages 2, 3, 4, etc to see how this all ended because I feel I will just be too disappointed in the ending. :sad:

Well, it looks like I am too late anyways, since Whitecrane is back and only gained 'water weight.'
