Alrighty, so, I cheated this past weekend with various alcoholic drinks (sans carbs) and a fiber bar… but, then I abided by the diet (99%) through today and have only lost the pound I gained over the weekend

What am I doing wrong? What does everyone recommend for a total cals and fat grams to continue loss? I am obviously consuming too much, if my body stopped burning... bummer. Although, there were two days (following the binge) in which I ate little for lunch and missed my veg all together the 2nd day (except an avocado - the only carbs except for a t-spoon of cream) and felt all sluggish and dehydrated (I feel much better today) Also, I have had three of those coconut Atkins bars - mmmm - that supposedly only have 3net carbs (yes, I know choc and coconut are not on the induction legal foods list)

Help please! Should I do induction another week without the delicious chocolate coconut bars and no alcohol; or should I very carefully move onto step two? Also, how detrimental is the feta cheese I have been eating?

I am 5"8, 142lbs and my moderate goal is 135lbs (another 7) though, my dream/bikini weight is 130lbs (which would be a loss of 12lbs)

Any suggestions, chastise welcome… ugh... it's so difficult to face to boob toob after a long day, without a yummy snack

This is such a bummer, as I told myself if I got to 140lbs by Saturday that I would make an awesome cheesecake with a sparing nut base and fresh step 2 allowed fruit in modest cupcake servings.. Alas, it may not be on the menu till next Saturday...

Well, I seem to be averaging only 1200 cals a day... Also, my protien avg's closer to 40%, with fat at 50-55% and carbs at 5-10%. I have done my BMR thingy and it says that my need is 1763 cals. So, with a deficit of over 500, I should be a stick right now!! not holding steady, right? I should try to get more, closer to only being in a 300+ deficit I think... how to add cals -- with cheesecake ?

I am finding it tough to keep the fat percentage higher than the protien; but, I think the extensive protien is what is giving me the tight jaw feeling.. Also, is it unusual to feel 'winded' or 'cloudy' during induction?

If I do a small amt of nuts and fruit this coming week, keeping my carbs lower than 25; could this continue my loss. Or, because I do not have extensive pounds to lose, maybe I need to be more aggressive and just be happy with my cheesecake treat sans nuts and strawberries
