This should be a warning to all those who think taking a "refeed" day will help kick start them into gear when stalling. The main reason I have never attempted it.

For me, it's lots of water, high fat, more exercise than normal. High fiber will help to get rid of the combustion by-products.

Maybe a little more vitamin E, too? Try 800 mg if you normally take 400. For a day or two. That's an old hangover cure. But mostly, water.

Remember the clear feeling you had / have on LC.

Depending on how you run your household, you may think about tossing the candy. Your kids need a clear-minded mom more than they need the candy, and if you're not safe around it, you're not safe. Better luck for them next year, maybe.

I find my refeed days gross me out. I cant stand eating non Atkins now. I think I just stopped eating for enjoyment and started eating to live.

Hang in there..It gets so much easier with time.
