What you did is completely normal.

Stop weighing yourself for next three days. You're going to let the carb load number get to you.
You'll have to get yourself back into ketosis which will take a few days. You may get only a slight keto fever this time, it won't be bad like the first time. Be strict about your macros.

Forgive yourself and keep pushing along.

And don't use Thanksgiving as excuse to go in. Easy way to erase your progress.

:mjcry: i suck

thanksgiving started off ok, but after a couple cups of henny and a couple of coronas (light), i went back for another plate with no carb considerations.

friday i did good. only carbs i really had were a few onion rings from my wife's plate at a diner. i ate a chicken salad.

saturday was our 1st anniversary. we went to a dominican restaurant called mamajuanas. i had a dish that came with a lot of steak, chorizo, and chicken. but it also came with tostones (fried plantains) which i said i wouldnt touch. bullshyt :mjcry: i ate like 8 of them. then the restaurant surprised us with an anniversary dessert on the house. it was some kind of cake either flan or tres leches im not sure. ate half of that too.

yesterday i was ok too but i know im so far out of ketosis it doesnt matter now.

fukk me and my self control :upsetfavre: ima have to start from scratch.

I still think going for something as restrictive as ketosis on the deep end of the pool based off what you told us.

Take the next few weeks to eat "better" and see how it goes. Don't set your self up to wipe out progress with another holiday a few weeks away.

my wife said it was just bad timing to take on a diet like that so close to the holidays. i thought i could still do it but she was right.

ima just focus on working out and not eating too much for this month. ima still keep my carbs low and then after the holidays are over i will go full keto. im dissapointed in myself but at least i know i can do it and that it does work.

Sorry @beanz but this thread represents everything I hate about diet and nutrition ans your most recent story was an inevitable outcome. Stopped myself from being negative in this thread multiple times because I didnt want to fukk with the W's you were catching

Point blank....keto fukking sucks. It works, but so does every single diet in existence. It provides no special metabolic advantage over an equal calorie carb filled diet. The reason it sucks is the exact reason you are down on yourself right now....because diet success is determined by long term adherence, not by structure.

You rebound binged. It was inevitable.

The good news is, no short term failure is a reason to give up. Minimal damage can be done. Most of your weight gain is probably water. I doubt you gained more than a few pounds of actual fat unless you arent being forthcoming with the true extent of your cheating.

You need to reevaluate you idea of what a diet has to be. A diet should not be a set of restrictive rules doomed for eventual failure
Keto diets are for people seeking a deep cut six pack and trying to manipulate their hormones. Its not for obese people.

Restrict your portions. Eat filling foods like hard boiled eggs, fat free greek yogurt, old fashioned oatmeal, lean meat, and veggies. Sprinkle delcacies and comfort foods here and there, but try and limit portions and try and keep it to 10% of your overall food intake.

10 small good choices add up to a major difference. Always try to make a good choice every time you eat (leave out a bun....get a kid sized popcorn at the theater....skip the baked potato toppings and eat it plain.....only grab a small handful of chips instead of taking the bag with you to eat out of....etc, etc)
