Question- going off Atkins for 1 week

[deelam]

I have been on induction for a few weeks and plan to stay close to induction until my vacation in 4 weeks. I will go off of the diet on vacation, but I don't want to shock my system with too much sugar & carbs. Does anyone know if I should ease back into carbs before vacation. Or is it ok to just eat sugar & carbs suddenly. I just don't want to end up sick.

Hi Dee,

We did the same thing...atkins..staying on induction because of the amount of weight we had to lose.

Went on our disney cruise..ate great..Didn't over do it, but, had a lot of fun.


I was only up 2 pounds when we got home from that 7 day adventure, and went right back to induction to get the rest of the weight off when we got home. Didn't get sick or have any problems.

I was pretty strict Atkins prior to my cruise, I'm talking 20-25 or less a day since Jan until we went on our cruise end of March, I bloated big time, up 15 pounds in 9 days. The first day or two I felt sick, well not terrible, just a little sluggish, etc. BUT, as soon as I got home I lost the weight in a week. Must have been water weight. I say enjoy though, if you dont you'll end up binging one day and wished you would have "enjoyed" all week anyhow. I thought of it as a break since I had been doing so well... I earned the right to have a treat.
