What is the point of cheating?

It means that you are thinking of something that is BAD for you, as something GOOD - as a treat.

It means you haven't internalized what low carbing is all about - that you still have cravings - have not really adopted a way of life.

If you cheat, at BEST, you set back your progress, and deny your body the opportunity to cleanse itself of its carb addiction.

At WORST, it leads to a slippery slope of carb binging - this time didn't hurt too bad, so next time is okay, and then the times get shorter and amounts get larger...

LOTS of people who cheat fall off the wagon completely. Then you don't hear from them anymore in the forum. Sometimes, you will hear from people here who admit how much cheating damaged them. But you usually hear the most from people who say that cheating once in a while is okay, no big deal. So allow me to state loud and clear that it isn't okay, it is dangerous, and I urge you not to do it.

Here's to your continued success!
