Don't think of it as a setback - think of it a scientific experiment with a negative result?! And you know that as soon as you get back on low carb eating for a few days the bloating will magically go away and so will any weight gain.

I've had several plateau's since starting but now I'm not bothered about the scales cause I (and others!) can see my body shape changing even though the scales aren't!

I've also read "Life Without Bread" and I thought it was a great book. Bit scientific in places but as you said it explained what carbs do to out poor not so little (in my case) bodies. It also gave me the confidence to increase my carbs from an Atkins and self induced 20g and seems to have kick started the wieght loss a little.

Good luck and enjoy all those things you used to think were bad - I do!!
