I've found (and you'll probably see it posted elsewhere too) that the first two days are the worst -- the carbo cravings drive me NUTZ! But after about 48 hours, they stop. And cher, I know it's hard when you're living in South Luziana where the food is just SOOOO good -- my mom (who lives in Houma incidentally) has much more trouble staying on lc than I do. For the first couple of days (at least) I'd lay in a good supply of nuts, Sugar-free Jello (NOT the pudding unless you make it with water instead of milk -- the lactose will make the carbo cravings worse, believe me I know), and cheese, and if you're going to eat fruit (which Dr. Bernstein says not to) have it as dessert, not alone.

All that said, even if you do go and blow it, that just means you're human like the rest of us so don't beat yourself up and just go back on it when you can. I think even being lc sporadically is better than not at all!
