Check out my video called “I cheated… What now?” It talks about this very subject. The whole point in short is understand the why you cheated or ate off plan, how to prevent it from happening again, and what your next meals are going to be. You can’t change the past, but you can prevent it from reoccuring.

Atkins imo knew that the best cure for obesity was zero carb but he was too much of a wuss to promote it as such because he knew he wouldnt be financially successful since zero carb is perceived as too ‘extreme’ even by the low carbers

I doubt that. He knew the benefits of phytonutrients more than anybody, and the only way to get them naturally was to eat the vegetables and fruits. In today’s world and beef, eating a diet of caribou meat like Stephannson did is not going to provide the same nutrition.

Question: Splenda is part sucrol”ose”…wonder why mthis “ose” ingredient is ok when low-carbing? I use quite a bit each day and I am not stalling yet!

Splenda’s generic name is sucralose. (Splenda=sucralose) It is one of those few exceptions to the all -ose as it is NOT either sugar or starch, like sucrose (simple sugar), dextrose (starch), fructose (fruit sugar), or lactose (dairy sugar). Maltodextrin is just another example of a complex starch to stay away from as an ingredient. Dr. Atkins recommended no more than 3 servings per day as insulin can be released with artificial sweeteners too. (cephalic insulin reaction)

I can eat a lot of veggies but I can also eat too much and set off massive cravings. It won’t toss me out of ketosis but man…. a good stir fry can certainly turn into a binge and I can feel the blood sugar change. That said, I can still eat way more veggies than most people on high carb diets would even think of eating.

I am perhaps more limited in my vegetables, but that still does not prevent having 10-12 servings per day. It is probably more taste-related related than anything, but I can say at Mongolian BBQ restaurant or stir-fries at home, I am loaded with peppers, cabbage, broccoli, and onions (less). Some of the other veggies — like onions and tomatoes — you could perhaps over-do, but after Induction, you are somewhat charged to discover what that upper limit is.

Is it BD’s Mongolian BBQ that you go to? That is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. I can pile up the tallest heap of vegetables you ever saw on top of my beef,chicken, and shrimp. People I go with have the tortillas and rice, but it doesn’t bother me; I’m not even tempted.

No, it’s called HuHot. I am sure it is real similar however to BD’s. Same all you can eat meat and veggies with sauce although I am mainly szechuan (1g) and oil -sesame and garlic and chili. Very good!
