After months of doing Atkins, I started cheating and fell off the wagon. Whats the best way to get back on?
When someone “cheats,” they often experience carbohydrate cravings caused by unstable blood sugar levels. The first thing you need to do is get back on Induction for a week or so to get your blood sugar level under control. When you are no longer craving foods high in carbohydrates and your energy level feels stable, you can move beyond Induction again. Pay careful attention to what happened that led you to “fall off the wagon” and make sure not to let it happen again. But don’t fall into the trap of being too strict and denying yourself completely; this could lead to more cheating. Giving yourself an occasional treat – within your carbohydrate threshold – is part of the Atkins approach.
