I have been on a strict no carb diet for almost a month now . I am feeling hormonal and craving everything in sight. We went out to dinner last night and I broke down and fries. Is'nt it kind of silly that I felt guilty? I should'nt I know. I believe most "diets" fail because people feel deprived. When I lost weight before if I felt I NEEDED a pint of Ben and Jerrys I would eat a pint. I think it kept me on the correct path. I am not saying to binge of food everytime you feel the need but giving into cravings in moderation. Although this weekend a friend is having a party and its my 6th wedding anniversary so I am taking the weekend "off" Its recommended that 1x a month or when your weightloss stalls to eat normal foods for about 2 days again to jump start further weightloss.
