May I ask you low carb "old-timers" a question??

I only started to learn about and eat low carb since March 16th of this year...and was doing fine for a few weeks, losing numbers like 3, 5, 1, 11, 7, 4, etc, per week.

THEN... I found the Recipes forum, and starting trying out the things that I had been missing...the "low carb dessert recipes"....uh oh...

I stopped losing, and started gaining, and now am having trouble reversing it. Can you give me some advice?? Have any of you found this to be true in your case?? Is it a matter of portion control? Or is it an all-or-nothing thing??

Any hints, tips, or things you have learned along the way you can pass on to this newbie??

Thank you!!!
