Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Mad at Myself

For months I was eating (and bragging about eating) low carb, sugar free ice cream almost every evening. I continued to lose *most* weeks, but only at a rate of 1-2 lbs. I thought, "wow, this is GREAT!" This yummy dessert was my *reward* for sticking to this WOE.

Well, the scale hasn't budged in 3 weeks. This is my first *official* stall, and I am fairly sure what the culprit is.

It has just taken a while to catch up with me.

I pulled out the dusty ol' Ketostiks and confirmed that I am no longer in ketosis (duh), and probably haven't been for quite a while.

Soooo, back on induction for me... no more ice cream rewards until the scale begins to move again -- and when it does, it will be an infrequent treat. Eating it almost every evening was a flashback of my *former* bad habit of snacking in front of the TV.

Whew, I am so glad I came to my senses before the scale began an incline.
