switched
I switched from Atkins to CALP 9/16. The first week I lost 1/2 pound. That was good. The second week I lost 1 pound. That was good, too. But Sunday night we ate out and for the very first time since starting low-carb 7/16 I had too many carbs. They had the nicest popover muffins, a lovely Italian egg-custard dessert (I think it was called pancetta?), and I had wine. Normally I could balance all that, but the entree had a high-carb veggie. I didn't eat too much of it, but I did eat some, which messed up the 1/3-1/3-1/3 balance. I was also hungry and had cravings. I increased my lunch portions and started adding a small protein snack in the late afternoon and I'm not hungry anymore.
I'm back to my regular meals today and should be able to make it up, but it was really discouraging to step on the scale this morning. Since I switched from Atkins (where I lost 8, gained back 3 between 7/16 and 9/16, with no cheating), I am starting to lose a bit, but I'm still not back to the total of 8 that was so tenuously in my grasp. I haven't seen any change in size at all.
