Is it easy to get back into ketosis after a mild cheat?

According to the good Dr Atkins himself, on page 123 of the latest edition of DANDR - Rules of Induction:

5. Eat nothing that is not on the acceptable foods list. And that means absolutely nothing! Your "just this one taste won't hurt" rationalization is the kiss of failure during this phase of Atkins.

I am of the opinion that when you eat off plan, you slow your weight loss.
As for the issue of getting back into ketosis, you are asking your body to shift back and forth between sources of fuel. This is a type of "yo-yo-ing" and certainly not recommended. It is in your own best interests to do your best to avoid "cheats".
