Can I "Cheat" With Good Carbs???
Hi! I've pretty much been at the same weight for the past five months. I made it through the holidays fine (losing weight over Thanksgiving and losing weight over Xmas and New Year's). I've been LCing for 9 1/2 months and have been diligent about not cheating. I've been trying to decide if my body has settled in to its ideal body weight, which is just short of goal. I've been reading other posters cheating or binging and getting a little whoosh as a response. Sounds tempting but I can't justify putting refined carbs into my body for the sake of weightloss (not to mention that I don't know if my body will react with the cramps, headaches, bloated-ness, etc. that other posters report). I usually take in 40-50g of carbs a day. I have been keeping my fat % up between 65-70% daily. Question is, can I shock my system by raising my carbs to 90-100g of "permitted" carbs?
