Hello,
I've been on and off Keto for a while now... (Started again last Sunday)
I've made a big mistake today (without even realizing it)...
I ran out of Splenda, so I used sugar to make my morning coffee... guess what? It probably kicked me out of Ketosis, and now I'm CRAVING for carbs...
What to do? Order Pizza and just do a carb up? :)
Wait 2 weeks and carb up

What should I do to get rid of these cravings?????????
i feel like a drug addict.. My drug = carbs!!!
start chugging some water, maybe have a coffee with some heavy cream and splenda i guess haha.

Sorry, couldn't resist and ate a lot of carbs ;/
Lesson of the day: Watch for everything you eat. Even 2 spoons of sugar can be enough to give you enough cravings that could jeopardize your Keto progress.

even if it kicked you out of ketosis one workout or fasting for the rest of the day would have got you back. take control of the cravings! lol
Yeah man, dont just throw crap on the wall, you should of just did a 20 minute HTT session, punish yourself for those things,..
It takes time tho to, just dont give in, a mess up, and just being silly are 2 differant things..
Good luck bud,
Think about it this way: worst case scenario, you set your self back a few days. Big deal. Learn from this and make yourself better.
But it is kind of worrying that 20 minutes after you posted you ate a bunch of pizza. Sounds like your mind was already made up.
Don't worry about it though, just move on and start again tomorrow. It's the same thing they tell people trying to beat drugs or booze. Just be sober for today. Just stick to keto today, and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
Then there's the other school of thought: Just grow a spine and ignore the cravings.
This post seeks approval to justify a cheat. Just calling it as I see it.

agreed.... lack of self-control and discipline.
Everything people said above is right :-D
Yesterday I lacked self-discipline and made a stupid mistake (eat around 2000+ calories of crap).
I'm starting everything over again today, and now I need to focus on how I'm going to resist something like this in the future :)
It happens to the best of us.
Just don't make a post:
"Whoop I had two spoonfuls of sugar [B][probably still in keto by the way][/B], since I ****ed up I'll just **** up some more by ordering pizza. Oh! And I'll ask on a forum just to make sure everyone else would've done the same."
Next time with a small mishap, it's OK keep going. Go for a 20 minute walk and get back on track.
On a major ****-up, wait until the next day until you eat again (if it's in the later part of the day) or get a good workout with squats or deads if it's pre-workout.
Chill out and visit the keto recipe forums. Make protein pancakes, brownies, fudge, and a bunch of other stuff.
Guess what guys?? Craving came back again (back on Keto for 3 days)... this time I remembered this thread, and was able to resist it!

i dont think this diet's for you - "oh ive had sugar might as well go get a pizza now"
i can tell from that, you are just gonna end up doing the same again. Its not the worst diet out there

I think everyone has their weak moments.. I've been on and off Keto for a while now.. Lost around 26lbs..
Edit: Is Keto the right long-term diet solution for ME? Who knows? Maybe not, but I think the 26lbs say something ;D

Good job man. It's hard, I know.
Once you get past these 2 weeks, in the future, getting into keto (if you stray from it) will be nothing but a peanut compared to your first time.
DSee....man up. I mean no disrespect, but this thread is getting annoying. Either commit yourself to keto, or don't. You don't need to update us every time you have a craving.

LOL. Really?
Edit: I wasn't here "asking for help", I was here more like giving an update so maybe people in same situation (Keto newbies) could get some motivation?
