What if I go over 20 carbs?

[twistermom]

I totally screwed up this morning. I am eating celery and peanut butter and it has a ton of carbs. I hardly have any left for the rest of the day. What should I do besides not eat celery for breakfast anymore?

its not the celery, its the peanut butter. try celery with cream cheese, or get all natural peanut butter.
As far as going over, I'd just stick as low as I could - but not starve myself or fret over eating a few more than 20. I've accidentally gotten myself up around 30 before, but stayed in ketosis and didnt notice a gain. (That was my first day).

Good luck!

Thank you!

Are you doing Induction, if you are you are not supposed to be having peanut butter at all. For breakfast I have hard boiled eggs, mock danish, porkrind frenchtoast or deviled eggs.

Yes...still on induction. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to have peanut butter....thanks! I only got Atkins info from the net, I need to buy the book.

If you get tired of the eggs...have leftovers for breaky...chicken, burgers, ham/cheese roll ups, turkey/mayo rollups.

I suggest you look at the recipe boards... :D So many great ideas.

Toss the idea of conventional breakies out the window and allow yourself some freedom for the first meal of the day! :D

Have fun with it..cin :cool:

Thanks for the info....I am going for the cream cheese pancakes tomorrow!

And switch to LC nut butters for when you're beyond Induction. They are tasty.
