I've never done plans, but I don't keep carbs around the house. My wife is LC too.

If it's not around the house when you get hungry, it doesn't take will power to avoid carbs. We keep nuts, olives and other high-fat, low carb things to munch on.

When away from home it takes will power, but that gets easier the longer you are at it.

I can go into a Dunkin' Donuts shop (our "Tim Horton" type devil), get a coffee and leave with nothing but the coffee. But I couldn't even go in one of those places when I first went lo-carb - it was either too tempting or too much like torture.

And as PilotGal said, "Always get back on the horse."
