I have had a light bulb moment today - was doing beautifully on my diet until last night when I went mad eating alpen bars (I think I had 8
). I am trying a very low sugar and refined carbs diet but am allowing myself butter and cream and fat on meat. Until yesterday it had been fairly easy - I am only a week and a half in so there is the novelty value so I may be speaking too soon.
Anyway I am getting to that time of the month where the diet always goes a bit pear shaped so I googled it and found this article:

I am wondering if I should change my diet for one week in four to a low fat and higher carb diet. It would be a change which is as good as a rest so might be motivating and actually it would stop me from trying to swim up stream with all the carb cravings I have.
Or do you think I just need more will power if if I had no carbs at all I would never miss them?
