I haven't cheated on one of these "blowouts"... i don't want to risk the temptation to my body... I did go to Six Flags Great America... and Had Cinnamin coated Peans... my little cheat... I felt so good with my choice while some others with us... were having Cheese Fries (grrr..) I think if you make small choices like this while out you will still be in Maintanance level carbs... instead of PRE-Atkin's level carbs....

Good luck.. have a fun trip..

You have done sooo well...

I think this may be a good time to cheat.


Sorry I don't see it that way You've lost 5 pounds, been low carb'n for less than a month and think you've earned a cheat????
Depending on how bad you do, just be prepared to have to start over again.
Why not just try to live through it, company or not, if you are serious about low carb as a "life style", then it best to start it now right?
Your right you do see lots posting about their cheat days, weekends ect, that may be fine for those who are almost to goal or maintaining, but you can also read tons of " I wish I had never done it" the aftermath for some is, to fall off completely and the earlier you are in the plan the more the damage.

Hope this helps in making a decision, Kathy
