I gained a few lbs due to "carb creap" so a couple days ago I decided to eat up the last of my fruit, cottage cheese, LC cookies, icecream, SF chocolates and then go back to induction. I also had half an apple and gobbed each slice with as much real peanutbutter as it could hold, and I threw in some taco bell for dinner (I knew I'd be eating enough carbs to kick me way out of ketosis anyway so I figured I might as well really make it worth it). I was extatic all day after that apple and pb. Was the best feeling I've had in months! Don't get me wrong, I love this WOE, but the battle with wanting more goodies than I could have was just getting to me. It totally satisfied me to release myself for a day, and I've been on induction for three days since w/o a single craving. I think it is healthier for me to do this once every couple months when the restrictions of the diet start getting to me rather than let it creep up agonizingly and end up gaining more than if I just let go for a day.

Just thought I'd share a positive carb binge experience.
