Well, I did what you are doing for a year and gained more weight than I ever have in my entire life, went over the 200 pound mark AND developed high blood pressure, so STOP!!!!!

You can't mix low carb eating with normal eating. You end up eating toooo many calories and then storing those calories as fat.

As for going on vacation. That is easy...especially if you don't have to ceek for anyone else. You just go and have a great time and eat what you know is right for you. Carry your water everywhere and never be afraid to throw away the bun in front of others!

It really isn't as hard as you think (unless, of course, you are looking for an excuse to have a massive carb-fest pig out, which is soooo not worth it).
