Today I ate a bunch of carbs to make everybody happy and hopefully gained at least a pound or too. The trouble is, all the bread and cookies I ate didn't even taste good. I want to go back to low carbing. Do i need to stop?

You shouldn't be maintaining on such a low carbohydrate amount when your metabolic resistance is obviously so low anyway. I really suggest buying and reading atkins for life.
Controlling carbs isn't for losing weight, it is for gaining health primarily. Weight is a symptom of bad health, so low carb often causes weight loss.
Don't stop the low carb just because you are at goal. |
