Today I had a setback. I am on day 8 of induction and I had 4 small pieces of thin-crust pizza.

I am feeling really guilty now.

I tried to find out the carb content in these, as I can't imagine it would be too terribly much since the crust is so thin (Imo's if anyone is familiar with it). I could not find any nutritional information for this specific brand but I would imagine it is around 30 grams.

How much weight should I expect to gain from this? And will I see this gain tomorrow or possibly not for a few days? I am trying to prepare myself so I dont get dissapointed when I see the scale rise.

On the upside, I feel as though it is giving me a headache and making me feel sluggish and bloated (though that could be b/c of my guilt and anxiety over eating the pizza), which makes me not want any pizza anytime soon!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't sweat it. Learning to eat differently takes a lot of time and you may falter a good many times before you are on track all the time.

I went off my plan for one week and I ate with wild abandon during that time for 5 days...I gained 3 pounds from it and it then it too me 1.5 weeks to lose it.

With some people it shows up the next day, with others it takes a couple of days...you may not even gain anything from it at all. This is a big experiment for everyone as everyone has a different story to tell. Just keep on your plan and drink lots of water to flush it out.

Good luck and stay away from the pizza! heehee

Let go of the guilt ... You probably will see an increase but it'll be temporary if you get back on track asap. Good luck!

If anything it will be water weight. If I eat something that might have hidden carbs or what not...I just make sure I drink a little more water then usual and that flushes it out!

As Tx says...we all have a different story as for our bodies are different in how we gain and where we gain.

Good Luck!!!

Don't look at the scale and you won't have lost anything
I found that it's best just not to look for a few days and it will not hurt you a bit.
Make sure though to drink lots of water !

The symptoms you describe are definitely caused by the carbs. There will come a time when you no longer desire high-carb foods like pizza. That's the magic of this WOE. The more you stick to it, the more you will find healthy foods attractive. Funny, but the first few weeks LC-ing I found myself growing bored with my LC food options, but now (after 2.5 months) I really don't. I look forward to my butter & eggs every morning.
