You know things are getting a bit silly when you get upset about eating a few carrots. They are "banned" because of a somewhat higher glycemic index. But acting like carrots are the same as Coke is just silly.

When you start raising your carbs someday, what to you think you will be eating?

The primary reason I am on my own plan, instead of calling it Atkins, is because I eat a few baby carrots every day. It hasn't slowed me down or caused me to go out of ketosis. Its those bacon and eggs breakfasts I have on weekends that raise my weight - probably a little water retention because of the salt.
