What would be the damage if i had a break for 5 days?

Am off on our first holiday in 3 years, only to caravan with kids but am feeling really sad that i'll be eating this space food instead of enjoying my hliday and sharing picnics and meals out ect with my family.

I have no target date to get to my goal weight so i understand im prolonging the process if i have a break...

what if i have a bar for brekkie a milkshake for lunch then have a non-s&s meal at evening.

i know i will come out of ketosis and gain weight but do you think i'd be looking at? a few lbs? half a stone?

im just in a really bad mood an think i will be all hols if i do this over the 5 days we are away.

actually i could continue s&s today and restart it friday and just have tue, wed, thur off plan?

I havent done a break week yet but I am on holiday next week as well and I was planning on avoiding carbs as much as possible, sticking to lean protein and vegetables and probably use S&S products for breakfast/lunch on most if not all days.

I figure if I keep up with my minimum of 3l per day water intake and avoid the carbs then the damage shouldnt be too bad and I am hoping to lose any gains the following week.

I am looking at this as a long journey to get to the weight I want to be and I know there will be the odd gain along the way but, for me, its not giving up despite those and ploughing on that is the tough part.

Yea thats what I'm thinking, just avoiding really bad things but having the odd tid-bit so it still feels like im on holiday!

i think its worth it, like you say it journey and i'm going to have to learn to eat better once this programme is done with too.

I shocked myself this weekend, I have a wedding to go to at the end of June and the food for the day is a ploughmans and fish&chips later in the evening. Normally I would jump at the chance to "have" to eat those foods but I am now thinking of the short term enjoyment that will be long term work and wondering if I can take packs and eat just the salad!!

We probably all know the right choice we should make but training ourselves to make them is a longer, tougher road.

You have done so brilliantly so far, you are over half way there!!
