Hi ATM, I have been LCing for a year. I do fall off the wagon every so often, but I make sure I get right back on with the NEXT meal, not next day or Monday, but the NEXT meal. My biggest downfall is icecream, so I have planned cheats, I eat my icecream and forget about it for about a month or 6 weeks, them I do it again . Those occasional cheats is what has kept me going for so long. I don't have health problems, I am doing this strictly to loose weight. I dont get carb hangovers like people talk about, kind of wish I did, that way maybe I would not cheat . Anyway, just wanted to tell you that the key for is 'get back on right away'. Hope this helps.
