Hi liz175,

I've done a 'free day'. A few things to remember.

The amount of carbs does matter so one potato is better than two.

Don't over eat. if you can't keep the carbs down, don't overload on calories.

Expect some side effects. Maybe hot sweats and cravings when you go back onto low carbs.

you may put on as much as 4lbs - but most of uit will be water. it'll take about a week on an induction type regime to get back to normal.

If you can do some brisk exercise the next day it'll help to burn off the carbs you've stored.

Good luck - if nothing else look upon it as an educational experience.
