alldayidreamaboutfood.com has some of the most amazing recipes that are actually delicious, from a young mom with T1D.

But the biggest thing is that you believe that eating low carb is depriving you of something. It's not. Eating carby, sugary and grainy foods deprives you of control over your appetite: those chocolate squares may have led to the small piece of candy. And the longer we keep eating the things we crave, even in reduced amounts, the more we continue to crave them.

I know you know this is true. Because it's what every danged low fat/low calorie diet has us do. And sooner or later, we cave, and regain all the weight we lost, and then some.

If you can tell yourself that you will eat ZERO foods that are not on the induction list for 7 days, and do it, you'll feel so much better!

And, really, if you have little kids, there are all sorts of things that you do that you are not in love with, but they just.need.to.be.done. And they need doing indefinitely. Try sticking 100% to induction for a week.

Then see how you feel, and if you're up for another week.

Let us know, too, OK?

treat yourself to a super flattering, FITTED top or jeans....if i am in a social setting and conscious of not bloating up, i don't feel temptation.
Plus, if people are complimenting your outfit and "have you lost weight?" I think you wouldn't reach for that cake, as you tell them about the amazing low carb program you started.
I would DEFINITELY bring a low carb treat to share, whether it is sweet or something like spinach and creamcheese stuffed mushrooms or bacon wrapped asparagus....just something to enjoy and feel like you get to indulge without going off your plan.
