I don't think I could do this, myself. When I get tempted by a piece of bread theres like this barrier that stops me. But I know if I ate something off plan that barrier wouldn't be there any more and I'd tip and probably eat and eat. But I totally respect ppl who can plan to eat off plan and go right back to low carb.

@79siggy I can't do it anymore either. It helped me at first, but not anymore.

Have you ever considered getting surgery to remove the excess skin from your neck? Your profile would look completely perfect if so.

[livinlowcarbman]

No, my neck is the really bad part. It's the tummy that has a bunch of loose skin. $20,000surgery. :(

[79siggy]

@livinlowcarbman apparantly an MSM supplement is a better option to tighten loose skin. BTW I don't think you need it at all, you look great! You both do.

@79siggy THANK YOU!

I actually did an experiment where I ate low carb for one week and then high carb. The results? I noticed I felt kind of sick after a week of high carb, I also put on 4 pounds, even though I exercised every single day. The best way to stay on a low carb routine is to make sure you have a fat source with every single meal. If you have a lean protein like chicken breast, add some fat too it like Cheese or Bacon, etc. Also make sure you avoid sauces with hidden carbs.

I prefer to consume healthy foods on my TKD carb loadins, stuff I wouldn´t have on the ketogenic days, but stuff that are nutritionally dense, like sugary fruits ( mango, banana , etc ) rather than the junk food I was once addicted to.

[zegonzales]

breaking weight loss stalls with "reverse diet" that means chocking your metabolism and a carb day may help you with this sometimes. And There are diets that cycle with carbs, if you read about TKD and CKD purposed by Lyle Mc Donald on his book "The Ketogenic Diet", Im am doing a mix between Atkins and TKD and Im having good results.

Great video. you know, I know people which are on mantainence that eat carbs every sunday for example. I think its OK to "cheat" sometimes as long as its not often and as long as you avoid to eat Carbs with fat as much as possible ( Carbs with fat are a bad combination, because the carb containt raises insulin and if theres fat to be caught in the blood it could result in weight gain ) But "cheating" sometimes is productive , because Atkins talkked about
